I read Joe Freil's book, Going Long. He talks about how to prepare for an Ironman. Apparently, I was suppose to be doing weight training and core workouts. Honestly, I am getting beat up by doing a regular workout running spinning swimming, so how in world does he expect me to do weights too. I was tired when I got in the car to drive to the gym.
Last night, Duane and I did 30 minutes of light arm weights and some core work, then we walked next door and had a glass of wine at The Grape Adventure. I thought no big deal, it was an easy workout, I will be fine.
This morning, Jim and Duane and I swam at 6. I wanted to throw up. I was not in a good place. We did 75 yard sprints. We did 20ish 75s, then a 500. I was thinking that lifting weights was stupid and nobody should do it. But maybe I need to rethink that. Maybe I should give up swimming.
