I ran a few errands this morning (Xmas shopping almost complete). Then, after lunch, I hit the weights for a quick session. Nothing fantastic to report there. Everything's going in the right direction, but not as fast as I may like. Just have to keep the nose to the grindstone and things will get better. You never know when that breakthrough day will happen.
Weights:
Bear - 2x4/48
Front squat - 3x10,10,10/95
Jackknife - 3x12
Bent Row - 3x10,10,10/85
Pushup - 3x8,8,9/+60
Barbell Curl - 2x12,11/38
French Press - 2x10,13/25
Then, in the afternoon, I watched the TSN coverage of the Ironman 70.3 Muskoka race. Unfortunately, I was not one of the featured athletes, although I am in the coverage. (They show the swim start of my wave, so it's kind of a 'Where's Waldo?' scenario, with 200 late-30's guys wearing black wetsuits and purple swim caps. Good luck on picking me out.) It was fun watching a race that I was actually involved in. I taped the show, with the plan of watching it while on the trainer, or just for motivation in the future. I don't know if I'll be able to do that, though, since a portion of the coverage is on my assistant swim coach, and her collapse on the day (second out of the water, falling apart on the bike, quitting at the side of the road in tears). It killed me watching her go through that, but I guess it's all part of racing. She'll be back, better than ever, and I know that I had my best race ever that fateful September morning.
