Still need to recap the days I was under the weather but with work being busy (Valentine's Day volume) and trying to catch up on stuff I didn't do when I was blotto it is taking me longer than I would like. Today I got in a swim workout and a shorter than I would have liked bike but time once again got away from me.
Today I swam 2000 yards - did a 400 yard warm up doing some freestyle and then some kickboard with fins. Followed that with a set of drills - fingertip, catchup and one armed. The third part was supposed to be a sprint set but I am sorta lacking in that regard right now so was more of a labored 800 yards of freestyle rather than a fast one. Then cooled down with some breast stroke and back stroke and pounded out a length of butterfly just to show myself I still have it ... pretty sure it looked like near drowning to anyone that cared to watch though.
Did 45 minutes or so on the bike spinning high cadence on my big ring ... watched some Lake Placid bike course talks - sounds like a beast - I need some serious time in the saddle!!
My name is Paul - I am a Clydesdale Triathlete from New York competing in my third season (2013). 2012 was a mess of injuries and disappointments but this is a new year with new goals. A few short years ago I weighed 308 pounds. Changes in nutrition and exercise helped with weight loss and competition keeps me focused on getting lighter and perhaps someday not being The Heavy Racer.
