Day 1 - Monday December 12, 2016

Today, has been a long day between fitting in the workouts, making sure I have meals for the day, working, and studying for exams. I managed to accomplish everything, and now I lay hear writing this blog entry prior to hitting the hay!

Today's strength training session was great. I have not done a full body routine in a while (not since high school I think). With only 2 sets of 12-15 reps, I found it quick per exercise, but effective.

My swim today was pure hell! What was supposedly a 30 min swim, took me 1:07! I'm not sure the average pace that was thought of when they built this routine, but I'll definitely have to modify the timing. Total of 1800 m would normally take me about 45 min (I swim at about 2:20/100m). It was a great workout though, and thoroughly left me exhausted.

Swim workout
Warm up: 200m swim, 2x100m kick, 4x50m choice (I did breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke)
Main: 5x200m (50m right arm only, 50m swim, 50m left arm only, 50m swim)
Cool down: 2x100m (50m kick, 50m swim)

Tomorrow has a bike and run in store for me. Both I have not done in a few months so it'll be at least a bit interesting. I'm all packed and ready for tomorrow!

Until tomorrow,

T
