Friday March 18, 2011
Swam 1500 in 31:32. Experimented with pushing hard off the pool wall b/c I have the indoor tri on Sunday. As a rule, when I swim in the pool, I just touch the wall and then turn around and start swimming again with no, or only a minimal push. I do this b/c there are no walls to push off from in an open water triathlon course. I've always wondered how much difference it made, b/c when you push off really hard you get at least 5m down the pool faster than if you were swimming. So at the start it made a lot of difference, about 10 seconds per lap. But then there was, as usual, the unanticipated consequence. Pushing off really hard in the water is kinda like doing a squat b/c water is really dense. So, after about 10-12 really hard pushes, my thighs started to get tired. Also, you have to hold your breath while you let the glide play out. But, you have just made an explosive movement equivalent to a squat. Therefore, you end up actually being MORE out of breath from the squat/push and breath hold than if you just touch and go. Overall, I was faster for the 1500 than normal, but not but that much. In conclusion, it was an excellent experiment, and one I am happy I did, b/c now I won't bother with the explosive push in the indoor tri, I willjust do my normal routine, and try just a little harder than normal b/c it is, after all, a competition. |

TGU warmups. Xfit games WOD 11.1 1 round, 30 dus, 5 gnd to overhead The double unders were doubly hard, and I had rope issues. Will try this WOD again in a month or so after I optimize a rope, drop another few pounds, and practice dus.... Also, did a little hangboard work, and then walked once around the farm. |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Jeff and JT visited the "Shed" today.
Bouldered for about 90 minutes. Sent most of my problems. Jeff and I worked on a new problem for about 20 minutes. Has the potential to be a really good problem (burly). Watched JT complete the first Games WOD. He worked really hard. Jeff and I then did Fran-Modified Thrusters 65# 95 is RX Pull ups 21-15-9 6:38 I liked using the lighter weight. I could keep moving through each exercise with stopping to rest. Fun day! |

Oberlin Indoor Triathlon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society This was a very rewarding experience. It was a "participation triathlon" as opposed to a competitive triathlon, meaning that you could keep you score if you wanted to but many people didn't. Also, there were lots of kids and people who were doing their first triathlon as part of the charity event. The event raised about $1500 for the LLS, so well done to everyone. Particular thanks to the Oberlin Splash Zone who opened early and donated their facility for the event. Particular thanks also to Dr. Stori Miller for organizing and running the event. The event had just the right feel for the fund-raiser. Now, that being said, you know I would be keeping score..... Rode 10.1 miles in 30 minutes. Exactly three minutes transition to walking (b/c that is exaclty how much time you got for the transition...) Walked 2.0 miles in half an hour. I was walking a lot faster than I thought I could, generally if I walk more than 3 mph I become incapacitated. Maybe it was because it was a charity event....? Swam 25 laps in 30 minutes. This is exactly the Ironman pace I want to set. It was effortless. My heat went bike/walk/swim. It was really great to do the swim last, b/c you got to cool off in the water and then you were done. Usually you get your arms and core all tired from swimming and then you have to bike and walk/run. This order worked much better for me. I was a little worried when I woke up b/c I had a lot of pain in my patellar tendons (see yesterday's post on flailing on double unders) and a lot of pain/stiffness in my neck & shoulder (see friday's post on pushing off too hard from the pool wall). But, once the event started, it was okay. Now, of course, I am a mission to find the Advil bottle and the couch! |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
30 Muscle Ups for time
9:53-I made sure I used full range of motion. Slowed my time down quite a bit. Elbow RX Then... I went up the track and ran 1 400 meter run as fast as I could. 1:11. I am pleasantly surprised with my time. After I rested I ran 6 additional 100 meter sprints. Walked home. JT-Good job on your event this morning. Sounds like a very worthwhile event. |

Yesterday, bouldered at The Shed 'O Pain with Tim and Jt Got a PR on Fran of 9:30. :) Today: Bike: 50min. in The Pain Cave. Good threshold workout. Everything hurts! |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Man you guys had a busy weekend, bummed I missed the shed on Saturday. JT, good job on pushing yourself at the indoor tri and thanks for competing in that worthwhile event; sounded like a good time.
Saturday was 8 hours of work patching walls at a buddys house, then the first outdoor bike ride of the season. I can see why people get on bike trainers during the winter. 25 miles in 1 hour 45 minutes around Peninsula. Pretty much hit the wall on two of the hills towards the end, but feel good today. |

Climb: Day 1 of the CRG bouldering comp series. Nine problems, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 points. I flashed the first six problems, took 3 tries on the seventh, got all the moves on the eighth but didn't finish it (it was long and pumpy), and couldn't do the first move on 900. The top three scores count, so I should have 1660 out of 2400 possible points. (I should have flashed the 700 and sent the 800) Lee was there, and of course he sent everything. Looking forward to going back fresh and sending the last two. |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Tuesday March 22, 2011
Frannie (Fran with some of the pullups as jumping pullups...) 5:35 30 minutes easy spinning on bike. Nice job on the comp. I like going up a couple days after the actual comp and working the problems. Last time they did it, I was usually able to flash the 100-200-300, and then work and get the 400-500. I even got one of the 600s once, but only b/c it was a long jug haul underneath their retractable roof and not an overhanging crimpfest. May have to visit on thursday or friday to give the problems a shot... |

Swim: 250m easy freestyle warmup, 10x 50m sprint, 46-54sec/50 250m easy freestyle cooldown Run: 1mi. @6.5mph, 1.0% incline warmup, .25mi. @10mph, 1.0% incline, rest as needed, .25mi. @12mph, 1.0% incline, rest as needed, (5 min/mi pace) .25mi. @10mph, .25mi. @3.5mph (walk), 1.0% incline, .25mi. @10mph, 1.0% incline The 12 mph was hard but manageable. I can't imagine maintaining that pace for a mile. Tim, I would be up for Saturday at CRG. I am going to predict that you will flash the first seven maybe eight and send the 9 in five goes. |

Trying to decide between swimming and rest day... Jeff, You've seen me do 420+ in the SoP, so 400 is kinda pathetic. Tim, 70 burpees? Dude. I stopped reading after 70 burpees b/c my head started to spin, I got that copper taste in my mouth, and I started looking for the bucket. Didn't want to read any further! |
Re: The Shed 'O Pain
Thursday -Kendall
Blew two onsights on mid 11s with one fall each, bummer. Just needed to focus a little bit and engage my core and legs a little more. 5 other topropes. Then 6 laps with 20lb on the easy slant, 4 with 10lb, 1 with body weight and no rests. Today 3.3 miles run in 27 minutes, improvement from two weeks ago. Probably from the long bike ride last weekend. Chest press 55 lbs, 16 rep, 12 rep. Shoulder press 30 lb, 15 rep, 15 rep. Deadlift 70lb(kind of wimpy compared to JT) 2x13. Triceps to failure. Well done Tim on your Thursday workout, very impressive. |

Climb: Bouldered at CRG with Tim. Sent the last two comp problems (800 & 900). Sent the 800 early and then spent the next hour and a half trying to get the first move on the 900. Once I stuck the first move, the rest wasn't too bad. Tim got it on his third attempt. |

TGUs and KBS at the SOP 10 TGUs on each side with 15#. 15# seems much more than 5# heaver than 10#... Two rounds of KB swings First round 10 swings with each of 10#, 15#, 20#, 35#, 45#, 53#, 72# Second round 10 one handed swings with each of 10#, 15#, 20#, 35#, 45# 10 two handed swings with 53# 20 two handed swings with 72# Jeff, Did I read that right? 60 minutes of freestyle? That's a personal record right? Do you remember 2-3 years ago when you were trying to learn how to swim freestyle? What an accomplishment to be able to swim an hour continuous freestyle! |

Paleo headache manageable today. Rode 1 hour on the bike. Felt listless. Also, riding the Paleo bike was more difficult b/c of the stone wheels. Am going to try the 11.2 WOD (AMRAP 15 minutes, 9x155#DL, 12 pushups, 15x24" box jumps). The push ups will be the limiter for me, what with my chronically sore shoulder and all... |

AMRAP in 15 minutes 9 x 155# deadlift 12 x pushups 15 x 18" box jump (with step down) 7 rounds plus 9 deadlifts plus 1 pushup (I am sure that some of my pushups would be "no reps" for peeling up) |
