Last 2 days were rest days as I had to do some traveling. Weight held fairly well at 218 this AM.
Rode a total of 8.2 miles this morning in 28:50. The 1st 4.1 time trial course was in 14:38, a new best. I really felt strong and rode in the same gear most of the way. Wind, and there was enough of it, didn't bother me too much. Didn't sprint at the end, just kept the pressure steady and finished strong. Was amazed at the time. I guess a little rest makes the legs go faster. Breathing was no problem. I feel pretty good about getting a little bit into shape. Hope that I can maintain after Tuesday.
Strength Work Out Lat Pulls - 100 Reps - 55X105 (20, 15, 10, 10), 45x90 ( 15, 10, 10, 10) Bench Press 200 Reps - 100x135 (20, 20, 20, 15, 10, 15), 100x120 (10,20, 20,20, 15,15) Leg Press - 2x25x225 Finished reps with mini-squat jumps (250, it was hard). Tried for 300 reps but mentally I was shot. Body had just had it.
Overall, a good day. really feel that I could start some easy striders at this point, but will wait till after surgery to get back into this condition and start at that time.
This is my last work out before surgery , other than some golf tomorrow. Wish me luck and I will post as soon as I can to let you all know what I'm doing.
