Today I had my second speed session on the thrillmill. Nothing too exciting, but it sure is a nice change of pace with the running. No pun intended.
I did 6x400M sprints, with an 800M warm-up and 800M cool-down and 1/10 of a mile walk between each sprint. By the time I was done, I seriously thought I was going to puke. But, it felt great.
After yesterday's TriPower assessment, my obliques and abs were a bit sore today. I am thinking this is from trying to hold all those plank positions to the point of passing out. Maybe I should do planks more often!?!
Tomorrow morning kicks off my first swim practice with the adult swim team and coach. I am not as anxious about the swimming as I am about the weather. 6am. 46 degrees. OUTDOORS.
I think I might have made a huge mistake in signing up for this crap.
We'll see if I survive.

Nice work. How can you possibly do that on a suckmill? I couldn't do it.
Great job on the speed work!
holy crap 46 degrees and swimming outside. gotta love north dakota i guess.
Good luck at swim practice! I am sure you will do great! Hope its not too cold though!
Speed sessions can be intense! Great job on the 400s. I have had that puke feeling, its not the best.
The pool is heated, right? It will be surprisingly warm IN THE WATER. :-)
Brrrrr! That's some frosty swimming!
It's too cold right now in the AFTERNOONS to be swimming - there is no way you'd get me in a pool then, let alone at 6:00 in the morning! Hope you have a good time, despite the weather.
46 degrees? Brrr!!!
Thrillmill - haha, I like that! Gotta love the puke threshold!
I hope swim practice went well this morning!
Polar Bear swim???? anyway, I LOVE the commitment ! :)
Nice job on the speedwork. Hope the swim wasn't too chilly this morning!
awesome job on the speed workout! feeling like you are going to puke is usually a good sign you are pushing hard :)
Nice job! Only a runner can appreciate how good almost puking can feel. :-)
The almost-puke is one of the world's greatest feelings.
At least the pool will be warmer than the outside air :-)
