Last workout about 1 month ago. Help get them back on track!
Swam under the watchful eye of Noa Deutsch, my coach. She gave me great pointers (some new, some reminders). I have a long way to go to improve my swimming. Anyway, it was a good set.
Highlight was doing 100ms breathing every 3, 5, and 7. I started g... read more
I managed to get third overall at Mt. Stewart 10 mile XC race, which is good. I'll do a blog post about this race, because there are a few good stories:
- fire
- ice
- dynamite
- falling
- taking the wrong turns
- epic wins
congrats! looking forward to the race review. sounds like it'll be a good one!
about 1 month agoThanks Chio!
about 1 month agogreat work, friend. it must be so nice to have races to attend during winter. in comparison, it feels like you've jumped time and are in the middle of spring or summer. it must be such a different feeling.
about 1 month agoYeah! I heard it is -50 there today. What is with that?! Crazy. I actually snowed in Victoria today, but I'm feeling still very lucky to be here.
about 1 month agoI enjoyed a steady run with the PT Team this afternoon. There were a few short but steep hills (30m elevation). Nice leg burners.

First: 7:21 (3:52 min/km)

Good swim this morning. I appreciate the feedback from the coach, which is helping me (slowly) improve. I'm grateful for the people I swim alongside . . . Some seriously amazing athletes. They inspire me to strive.
1500m warm up
- 500 swim
- 400 pull/... read more
Did a long warm up then ran 3/4 the way up Mt. Doug. Then, I ran a large hill 5 times. I think the hill is about 350m, maybe a little more. It took me about 1:30-1:35 to run it each time. It was really hard and hurting. Probably good for me.

2 months agoI had planned to got more lost around Thetis Lake, but the light was waning. I worked on powering up hills. I look forward to heading out there again soon. It was cold and windy tonight, but I managed to stay warm.
This was also a run with the dog, w... read more
I'm so glad I made the workout this morning. I had a few excuses to skip, but I've committed to swimming on Fridays, so I don't want to give in to excuses.
Here is what went down. I'm proud of the workout today.
Warm Up:
400 free swim
300 pull/paddles... read more
The last time I did 2 mi of swimming, it was in open water, we got stung by jellyfish, and it took me the better part of 2 hours to complete... and I slept like a baby afterwards. Nice job!
2 months agointeresting sprint set! will have to give it a go!
2 months agoSome hill running and timed lap running today. I am sore for longer runs I did on the weekend, but nevertheless held it together.
I think I ran a 3:47 pace in the time trial, which is not my fastest pace. Then we did some hill sets. OUCH.
I need to w... read more
I need to pick things up on the swim front. I was tired today from the late nights I've been pulling due to school, but I was getting dropped pretty hard throughout the swim. I'm starting to feel like I need to offer more to my other teammates.

Run in the dark with the dog. Rocking the headlamp. Loving life. I am about to pull an all nighter with a paper.

ooh, hypoxic! did you do any swims for time afterwards? i always feel like i can sprint faster with less effort after doing a hypoxic set. hope you keep posting here. i enjoy reading your workouts!
about 1 month agoNo. No sprints. I did find it really easy to breathe after doing the 7s. 4 felt like nothing. Next time, I'll try to do a sprint after.
about 1 month agoyeah, that's how i feel, too. 4 - easy peasy! but getting there (on 7) is rough!
