Tough Cross Training
So for my first post, I thought I would give an update as to what sort of training we’re currently doing. Sam is concentrating hard on his Ironman training, doing tons of biking, running, and swimming, while working to maintain his strength on the weights. Big thanks to TrainingPeaks for providing Sam with these great quality workouts. As for me, since I do not plan on competing in the Ironman I’ve geared my workouts more towards kayaking, meaning more weights and a lot of kayak erging. I did, however, get a little taste of Sam’s Ironman workouts this morning. We went out on a nice 52 mile bike ride, and it was really hard! We averaged just under 18 mph, which was quite difficult with all the hills on the route. One hill in particular was excruciatingly difficult, but I’m glad to say I made it through the whole ride in about 2 hours 55 minutes, and just in time to reach my 11am class! More updates and pictures will follow soon. We’ve been working hard on developing the website; it should be fully operational quite soon.
Also, thanks to everyone who has signed the guestbook.
