Hit It.

Cardio: 4 x 400 meter repeats @ 8:13-9:40 per 400. Hard to get a totally accurate number because I switched lanes mid way through set 3 and said hi to my swim buddy for set 4. If I want to be a "real" triathlete, do I have to start taking these "sets" and "sessions" and whatnot more seriously?

My comfort pace seems to be a bit over 2 minutes per 100. If I can get to the point where I can sustain a 2 minute/100 meter pace over a solid mile, so I'm swimming an open water mile in 32-35 minutes, I'll be very happy with that.

Crossfit WOD from Sunday 08/07/08:

As Rx:

155 pound Squat Clean and Jerk, 30 reps

The barbell goes from ground to overhead, passing through a front squat in which the crease of the hip passes below the height of the kneecap. The finish position is with the arms, hips and knees fully extended, arms overhead, with at least a portion of the ear visible in front of the arm. Dropping the barbell is acceptable.


As Performed:
65 pound Squat Clean and Jerk, 15 reps
75 pound Squat Clean and Jerk, 15 reps

Felt okay about this workout...it didn't kill me, so I think I modified the weight too low...will definitely try with 85 next time. I also feel like I'm not quite getting under the bar quickly enough. The drop to full squat was correct on maybe 10 reps. The rest I don't think I went deep enough.
