Let the Cross-Training Begin

So, last weekend was a big weekend for me.  I finally got off my wallet and with some birthday money that I recieved I went and re-outfitted my OLD triathlon bicycle with new wheels.  Check out the photos of the death & Resurrection of the TRI-BIKE!

Resurrection

DEATH

Next purchase on tap was some new goggles!  I have not purchased any new goggles in who knows how log, so off to the local sporting goods store I went.  Walked up to the display and did not recognize any of the styles so I just grabbed a pair of the Speedo branded ones, checked the return policy and off I went.

I ended up buying the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0  Needless to say these are HUGELY different from my old Racing Sweeds!  But after my 90 Min workout this morning they seem to do just fine.

 Now on to this mornings main course

Ice Day

Ugh, being snowed in is one thing , but being Iced in is something TOTALLY different.  With Snow atleast you can get the kids out of the house and build snowmen, have snowball fights, make snow-angels and all sorts of other stuff. With ice, the only activitied you get is to try and find something to entertain them while not being able to go anywhere.  which leads me to my next topic.

Since I was iced in I decided that I would pop one of my ole Insanity Disks in a burn through a work-out.  I mean how hard could it be, I have taken about 5 months off but have kept in pretty good shape......haven't I? I have been running frequently and have been partaking in my strength training at the Gym regularly, I should be able to cruise through this work-out........right?

YA RIGHT !!

Plyometrics Core Cardio was the work-out I chose.  After completing the, so called, warm-up I remembered how hard this was.  So to save any further embarrassment, let me just say I did not even come close to completing the entire work out !  Holy Smokes !!
Warm-Up: All 3 sets - Hard, but okay
Circuit 1: Set 1 Good, Set 2 Okay, Set 3 ROUGH
Circuit 2: Set 1 ROUGH, Set 2 & Set 3 - Watched the DVD through most of this.

Wow, I am out of Insane shape. Time to get back into the Grove and keep pressing play
