Total - 10:08:00


How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Today I did an open water swim in New Mexico. Yes, that's right, I'm in New Mexico and I did an open water swim. There is a state park here that is called bottomless lake state park. One of the lakes is open to swimming and if you swim it the right way you can swim 1100 meters. So today I did just that! The winds were out of the south today, actually there out of the south everyday. Anyway, when I would swim to the north it was no drama. However swimming south into the wind and small waves was an asskicker. It was so bad that I could only breath out of one side when swimming to the south. I completed my 1100 meter swim in 21:45. I know that isn't burning up the water but I think it's pretty good considering the altitude and winds.

Have a good day!
