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.

Evening Work Out

Well Since I was behind in my Pull-Up and Push-Up program I figured I would Catch up.

I started with pull-ups (these were done at home on my doorway pull-up bar.)
Level 4: Week2: Day2
08 Pull-Ups (Check) - 90 Sec Rest
09 Chin-Ups (Check) - 90 Sec Rest
08 Pull-Ups (FAIL) - 3Min Rest 
07 Chin-Ups (Check) - 3Min Rest
05 Pull-Ups (Check)
Notes: After 3Min of rest the pull-ups were manageable and the Chin-ups were a breeze.  Need 90Sec for Chin-Ups and 3Min for Pull-Ups







Push-Ups (Today's seemed to be really easy, even though the massive chest, arms and back workouts we did the past couple of days)
Since my wrist hurts I did these on my Chin-Up bar flipped upside down.  Basically Push-Up Stands

09 (Check) 90Sec Rest
11 (Check) 90Sec Rest
08 (Check) 90Sec Rest
08 (Check) 90Sec Rest
