This was a really tough and long workout.  Took me over two hours with the warm up.  That sandbag workout was killer!  I couldn't believe how hard the thrusters were.  My sandbag is pretty lumpy so it was quite the challenge.  The funny thing was the step overs were the easiest part!  And they aren't easy.  I warmed up to the 53# kb for the turkish get ups and did a couple with it the first round but it felt really sketchy, I was going to hurt myself so I dropped down to the 35#.  Donkey kicks with a 10 second hold each rep are also a great challenge, no way to 'cheat' these.  I was getting an ab cramp I get frequetly on the HBH on the GHD and had to split a few of them up.  Side plank x1 min is definitely hard but happy to be able to do it.  By the HS holds I was tired and also getting hungry since I had to do this after work.  Hence, my dips weren't impressive.  But I think I should also get credit for the weight I gained while on vacation ;).  Thanks!

Surfing


We were out for a full two hours today and I had such a blast.  Same comments as yesterday but I did get some arm fatigue from paddling today.  Overall I feel like I made huge progress and am motivated to keep up the training and get in the ocean more.  Thanks!

So excited to tell you about my progress.  I am soooo grateful for all my swim training.  I felt way more comfortable in the ocean.  I was so much less phased by having to hold my breath or spin upside down under a wave.  That comfort level changed everything.  I was able to focus more on catching waves and I caught quite a few!  Thank you thank you!

Felt heavy on the CTB, just regular kips.  Seemed to get more fluid as I went.  Strict press and bench felt great.  Had a better HS walk day but did feel my right shoulder fatigue toward the end of 10 minutes.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

I wanted to get out on my road bike for this ride and was a little stubborn about it.  The weather was threatening snow and I went anyway.  Had a great ride on a hilly circuit but then it started snowing pretty heavy so I had to ride home.  Legs are slightly tired the next day.  I  finally found time to fit in the swim workout I missed too.  This was a great one.  I say that because all the different ways of dolphin kicking brought back memories of get tossed around in the ocean.  So it is working that 'fear' and sinus cleansing issue I want to improve at.  Just not getting water up my nose was a challenge.  I got better as I went.  The face up version was the most challenging.  It is still so amazing to me how hard this stuff is.  I hope I'm improving, I feel like a child.  Thanks!

Cross country skiing, 90 minutes

It was super cold today and we had to hit the hills to stay warm.  We barely stopped at all and I was starving when we were done so it must have been a solid workout.  Thanks!

Snowboarding, 5 hours

This was so fun.  Been a long time since I snowboarded and it all came right back.  Even caught some air!  And no crashes.
