This is the first day where I've started training to gain some weight back since I've decided to get involved in tri's late last year. I figured I'd go with NROL, and I'm starting with a week or two of the break-in phase to start it off. It works well since these are pretty quick workouts.

On Thursday the instructor taped our swimming, and after looking at it I know I really need to know work on my form. My stroke was really poor and I was lifting my head to breath.So today I watched part of the TI video and worked on drills. Tomorrow morning I'll see if it helps. Lifting went well. I can feel the difference already that I'm eating and lifting more. My strength is already increasing, so I'm looking forward to keep going.

I think I did much better after working on form yesterday. I think I'll do at least 30 minutes of drills a week.

Felt really good in the water today. I was able to complete the whole workout in under 1.5 hours, which included stopping a few times and getting a good amount of coaching. I worked on bilateral breathing a bit, but I have a long way to go on that. I really need to start focusing on that. I'm hoping to make it to the gym for lifting later today.

So I did 5 workouts in the break-in phase, so on Monday I believe I'll start the hypertrophy phase. Should be fun.

Worked on breathing to my right side fro 30 minutes. Getting better, but doesn't feel comfortable. Lifting went well. Definitely a big change going to a 5X5. It was fun.

I had to skip swim class yesterday because I was up a few times with one of the kids who has a fever, so I put in 30 minutes of drills today before lifting. I'm working on breathing to my right, and I just can't get it to feel comfortable. If I just turn my head I get half water/half air, so I have to pick my head up. I believe I'm getting better so it will just take more time. For lifting I think it went well. I backed off a bit near the end because I didn't want to be sore for a couple of days.

My upper body was definitely more tired than normal. I'm guessing it has to do with starting up lifting heavy again, so hopefully I'll adjust pretty soon.

The high reps definitely got my heart pumping.

My duathlon on the 24th is a 2.5 mile run, 10 mile bike, 2.5 mile run, so I wanted to get a good baseline for my run. I thought I'd be able to do this run faster and with less effort, but since I haven't ran in a few weeks I was not. I need to add running back into my regular schedule.

Last week I was out on vacation, and I didn't do well about getting to the gym or exercising. Felt good to be back at it. Swimming went well, I believe I'm breathing much better on my right side. Hopefully I'll be comfortable with it soon.

Todays was a tough one, thought my arms were going to fall off. It may have something to do with working uppoerbody yesterday as well.

This was the first cool weather run I've done this season. I could definitely feel a difference breathing the colder air. I ran an 8 second slower pace than I wanted, but it was a solid run. I forgot my log for lifting, so I had to remember the exercises and guess the weights I'd used previously. I was pretty happy with it overall and I already feel stronger, so this phase of my schedule is going well. I skipped the high pull on accident, but it was probably a good idea. I guess I didn't pay attention to my form with it on Monday and my back has been sore since.

I didn't sprint at all this run so that I could get a better idea of how fast I can on Saturday. This felt like a pace I could keep and then be able to bike, we'll see how fast I can go after that. For lifitng, I screwed up and accidentally completed did the 5X5 routine when I should have done 3X15. Aside from that it felt like a good work out.

Felt good today. I watched a presentation by Terry Laughlin yesterday and he talked about stream lining, so I was working on that today. I had to be a bit more careful to turn my head enough to get air, but aside from that it felt pretty good.

This was my first duathlon, and I think it went pretty well. I pretty much stopped run and bike training after my last tri in Sept, so these numbers aren't too bad. Next year I plan on training through this event, because I believe I have a really solid chance of placing. Main think hold me back right now is the bike.

I was on travel this week, so I was only able to get in a few drill swims in the hotel pool.
