perfect weather (except for the deer flies).

Am thinking about a short triathlon in late August or early September. So, I had to go out and see if I could actually walk 3.1 miles...

Was happy for the negative splits.
Now to see if I can swim 800 yards! (and ride a bicycle 16).
This is what happens when you are tapering for an Oly meet.

Great work, everyone. Back home after two weeks. One week cycling vacation and then a visit to my son in Stuttgart, Germany. It was a great holiday even with the jet lag I'm having now.

Swam 500 yards in 11:12. Probably could have made the 800 for the little triathlon in August.

Now to see whether I can sit on a bike for a few miles (need to get a seat and setup that don't hurt my steel hip...)

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In

Real emphasis on quality of SFG swings here too. Had a hard time this morning getting the toes up to the bar. We started warm up with Tabata hollow holds and I think I gassed my abs on them.
