Medium Work, Medium Write

I split the difference Wednesday. At the pool, I swam

1,250
7 X 50 @ 1:16
1,250
7 X 50 @ 1:!6
1,300 (with 125 back)
total: 4,500 yards = 4,113 meters

That wasn't a bad practice, a little short, but not too bad. I had planned more, but I had received the news that the Mississippi State Senior Olympics had been postponed. That took a little wind out of my sails. I figured that until I know the date, I don't want to hit the speed button too hard too many times. In other words, I don't want to peak too early.

I shuffled 2.61 miles. The knee cut up on me a little bit. At the gym, I did legs and pulls. Despite some knee issues running, I was able to squat. I found that the key was to move slowly. Slow down, slow up. On the one-armed bent row, I pulled

21 X 40
15 X 50
10 X 50
  4 X 65
  4 X 65
  4 X 65

I also did one set of barbell rows, 10 X 75.

For my old favorite Swim Pull, I handled

11 X 50
10 X 60
6 X 61.5

On the high rack pull, I did

10 X 120
  5 X 135
  3 X 195
  3 X 200
  3 X 205 (a new Association of Sports Strongmen world record)

Why have I been forgetting the high rack pull? That is one heck of an exercise. I also did some facepulls at

22 X 20
15 X 25
11 X 30

My squat numbers remain classified. It's just that way.

Thank you, Jesus.
