I worked out pretty much all day today.  Any time I had a few minutes I did something to keep myself busy.  Still haven't had the big cry yet.  I feel bad for whoever is around me when it happens.

I'm without words.  There will be a huge hole in my life from now on.

No swim today at St. A's. So they started us Time Trial Style...at the entrance to transition. Had a good bike split today, considering the wind and the fact that (other than today) I've only biked 13 miles this month!! Guess those spin classes are paying off a bit.

I was 110th of 327 on the bike...gee...about top third...odd for me on the bike.

Pretty good run. Not the most wonderful conditions but still, my first ever sub-7 average for an Oly run. I'm happy about that.

I was 33rd of 327 on this one. Top ten percent. I guess I could be a little faster here.

Overall, I was 60th of 327 in Age Group, and 345 of 3650 in the race. WOOT!! That puts me at 9.4 percent overall, and 18.6 percent in age group...I'm cool with that since I'm now in 35-39 and I figured I'd be way back in the pack since I haven't really trained.

Bumpy and choppy but I got thru it. Slow, but I wanted to make sure I was riding the waves correctly.

Did a little variety of stuff at Anytime Fitness to try out their equipment. Even swung a kettlebell a few times (just thrilled that they have 'em there!).

Went to spin class tonight, I needed to destress a bit. It definitely helped to be able to sweat out some stress.

Chest

Incline flyes - 3 sets, 12 reps (25#)

Flat bench press (2x40#) superset with pushups
12 press/24 pushups, 10 press/20 pushups, 8 press/16 pushups

Flat bench press/flat bench press (2x20#/2x40#)
24/12, 10/5, 8/4
Pushups on fitball with one leg up
16, 12

Did some chest work while I was waiting for the spin class to start.

This could very well be Terri's last day.  I'm not exactly sure how to deal with that knowledge.  The weirdest thing is, I haven't "FELT" anything big yet...it's like my emotions are waiting for something before they surface.  I haven't even thought much about all of it.  How weird is that?  I think I've been burying myself in workouts and in being supportive of everyone else, and maybe that's why I'm not freaking out yet? 

I left work early today so I could get over here to be as much support as possible.  The family is here so there is plenty of support for all of us.  I don't really have any more updates than that, but I guess I will keep everyone as informed as I can.  Keep the prayers coming.

Spin Class - 1 hour of hills and sprints...OUCH!! At least I know my bike fitness is still kinda decent. We'll see how that translates to Sunday at St. A's.

Pete and I tried out our new ZOOT speedsuits that we may have to use on Sunday for St. A's instead of wetsuits. We just did a few 50's and a 100 to see what it felt like. It was cool.

Back/Shoulders - Strength and Size

Pullups - 3 sets of 12

Seated wide grip row -
Usual 4 supersets (150#/75#)

Low row -
Usual 4 supersets (150#/90#)

Front/side raise on bosu - 3 sets of 12 (15#)

45 degree raise -
Usual 4 supersets (15#/5#)

Heavy Shrugs - 4 sets of 12 (230#)

Rushed thru this one as well. I think I'm bored with this workout program. I think next week I'm gonna go back to the usual 4 tripleset workout that I've been getting good results with. Besides, Vic's workouts are different now that he's preparing for the show in June.

I am crazy.  I worked out FOUR TIMES today.

I have a lot lot lot lot lot to say, but I've just been so busy.  Work, personal stuff, trying to spend time with Terri and Pete.  I just can't keep up!  I will try to get some blogging done tomorrow.  There is a lot to blog about.  I just hope I can find the time.
