"Fran" is the BOMB !

This AM I ran 3 miles at a 710 pace from the Y. Then I tried a new workout. The name of the workout is "Fran". If you are not familiar with this you should check out http://www.crossfit.com/. The trainers create workouts and then the workout takes the name of the trainer who created it. Or at least that seems to be the way workouts are named. Skeet Brewer is a certified crossfit trainer and I will consult with him this PM to see if I cheated! (BTW, THANKS FOR THE CYCLE TIME YESTERDAY.) I finished Fran in 4:50. I was trashed! Then I swam 800m. 4 groups of 200m. Great workout!

Wednesday I need to do some lifting and a run. Really need a longer run - 4 to 5 miles will be needed. I can lift at the Y or Powerhouse. Any takers leave me a comment. See you there!

July 29 - August 1

OK the weekend was a bust for training. Baseball was an all day event on Saturday and Sunday I was hubby and dad around the house. It is amazing to watch little athletes step up to a higher level of competition. This weekend was an education in itself. My son is on a travel BBall team. They are 7 & 8 yrs old. Their age group did not have enough teams to sign up so they had to play 9 & 10 age group. They played and actually did great! I thought they would get crushed, instead they fought it out and actually won a game. They went extra innings with the team that won the tournament! They did get put out but they went down fighting. They did not give anything away and they left it all on the field! WAY TO GO GRINDERS!

This week I will be training at various places again. I hope to get Skeet and a couple more together to train. My schedule is very flexible and would like to change it up some. The tentative schedule is:

Monday PM - Run and maybe Bike from home w/ core exercises
Tuesday 4:30-5:00am - meet at Y and Bike and Swim
Wednesday 4:30-5:00am - meet at Powerhouse Gym Run and Power lift w/ core exercises
Thursday4:30-5:00am - meet at Y & either run or bike then swim
Friday 4:30 - 5:00am - meet at Y or Powerhouse and Run & Power lifts w/ core exercises

Hope to see you there! If you have better plans let me know - I will join you!

Island Regimen!

OK Guys, I had an opp to visit the Island this AM for a workout. TJ (TRI JUNKIE) and his partner did an EXCELLENT job with the ISLAND REGIMEN! Dude that was so fun!!! On the pavement doing core exercises, jogging with medicine balls and jumping over picnic tables! WWWAAAHHHHOOOO! You must check out the website and if you like outdoor workouts......this is for you! http://www.islandregimen.com/ is the website and this group is very dynamic and enthusiastic! I will be back!!!



Saturday my son has a baseball game - last one of the year! He has played about 90 games from January to July. He is such a "MAN CHILD"! He has more athletic ability in his finger than I have in total. I hope to swim sometime on Saturday or Sunday at the Y. I would like to do some swimming in the ocean. Maybe that will happen, we will see.

Breathless - Recovery

That was the workout for this AM at JMMS. The bike ride was an interval training session of faster faster faster then recovery. I did that routine for 7 mls. During the last interval I cycled up to 27.5mph for 60sec. Very light workout but affective.

Friday I will be joining TRI JUNKIE for his Island Regimen. Should be fun.

Lactic Acid Threshold : |

Say What!... That is what I said when I was "school'd" the other day while talking to TRI JUNKIE! So you think you know it all and then a new dude tells you something you didn't know. Then you do a little research and find out what the heck they are talking about. Well that shows me that a Certified Trainer is always a good resource to have. Ask me about cash flows, GPP, cost vs. expenses and the nuts and bolts of a company and I can bore the best of business owners. That is what I do 10hrs a day... As a CPA in the area, I must stay current with accounting and business strategies. SO to no surprise, a trainer can help any person at any level step up their performance. Thanks TRI JUNKIE!

This AM was a great workout. Lots of reps - cling and press, dead lifts and core exercises. Then I ran 5mls on the treadmill @ 750 pace. My goal is to increase my lactic acid threshold for my next couple of Tri's.

Thursday's workout should be a good one. Hope to see you at Jane Macon MS on Altama.

Give it up - Leave it on the track!

Hello all...

This AM was perfect for a fast bike ride! Wish all of you could have "rolled" with me. I did have a cop stop me...but not for speeding - which stinks! He commented on the lights on my bike. Crazy people drive around in the early mornings you know... Tomorrow will be a much easier workout. A little power lifts. Some light weights and some heavy. Really going to focus on repetitions for a more cardio style workout. Then of course a good strong run. I will be training at Bailey's Powerhouse Gym. Hope to see you there...

OOOHHH BTW I must give props when due! My better half is a professional photographer. GREAT JOB ON THE BANNER! She is going to photo us in as many TRI's as she can make. SO if you do not want your photo on the blog...you better let me know! Check out Tracy's blog to see more of her work!

Tri Junkie

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad I'm not the only nut getting up at the wee hrs of the morning to kill myself! It seems there are about 10 to 15 people in the area that are doing these tri's. By reviewing their times it seems we have some fast triathletes in the area. I will be posting my workouts from week to week and hopefully others will post theirs so I can join them. Keep on triing!
