Super Sized

I hit the pool, road, and gym Saturday, and I hit them hard. You could say that I supersized my day. It started at the pool this way. I swam

2,200 41:17

3 X 50 back

butterfly practice

24 butterfly

100 Redneck IM 1:57

 150 medium paddles 2:45

total: 2,600 yards = 2,376 meters.

Notice that I went 24 yards doing butterfly. It was ugly, but it was better than Thursday. With a dive start, I think I can do an entire 25. One day, I hope to compete in the IM at the State Senior Olympics.

On the road it was time for a long run. I did 11.76 miles for my longest of the year. The endurance is coming up. I now need to do some really long run/walks to get ready for the next big Challenge.

At the gym, I hit the deadlft and the high rack pulls hard. On the deadlift, I pulled

8 X 135

6 X 155

2 X 170

2 X 170

2 X 170

1 X 175

Besides some squats, leg curls, and leg extensions, I did the rack pulls for

15 X 135

12 X 185

  7 X 205

  4 X 225

  5 X 245

  3 X 255

  1 X 260

That was some pretty heavy work right there and totally a pretty strong day of training. Supersized you might say. Thank you, Jesus, for time, energy, and desire.
