15 air squats

I completed 14 sets. I had 8 sets done in the first 10 minutes... the last 10 minutes was a beast!!!! I found the push-ups to be my weak point! Sore arms and shoulders from last weekend at the lake. I should have stayed off the inner-tube!!! :S

AM - Track Drills - 3x(200yds, 400yds, 600yds) Recover time same as run time, for example 200yds run time 40 sec, recover 40 sec.

WU: 1 mile and 4x100 sprint/glides
Set 1: 200 in 37sec, 400 in 1:24, 600 in 2:18
Set 2: 200 in 42sec, 400 in 1:30, 600 in 2:21
Set 3: 200 in 41sec, 400 in 1:31, 600 in 2:22

The first set I ran at what I normally run these distances, but with shorter recoveries I couldn't maintain the other two sets. The 600's were the killers... I was ready to die at the end of each one. Everyone doing this drill today had the same effect!! Tough Drill!!!! We did an active recovery between intervals of walking in circles and bounding.

AM - CrossFit:

Strength: Sumo Deadlifts ME 225lbs

WOD: 5-4-3-2-1 for time: 3:20
Deadlifts 165lbs
lateral burpees

I had to switch to deadlift because my shoulder didnt allow me to release pain free on the squat cleans

PM - Lake Workout

Swam half mile at as hard as possible. The wind was a big factor so my time was a little slow of 13:30. We then had a timetrial bike but the wind and the fact that my body was sore and tired, my time wasnt that great. We held a 20 mph average for the first 18 miles, but I was just wiped out on the climb back and in a head wind. We rode 22 miles of hills, wind, and crapy roads and drivers in 1:10 (18.9 mph ave).

Bryce Cyn Half Marathon

Splits: 7:59, 7:46, 7:05, 7:14, 7:15, 9:00, 7:31, 7:29, 8:11, 8:02, 10:03, 8:37, 7:46

I only had 3 port-a-pottie stops during this race... Can you guess which mile splits they were? My total time was 1:44:41... not my best, but not bad for my first race with GI issues!!
