AO


YHC attempted to call out a few more Latta locals on Twitter, including Dirt, Jingle Bells, and Vandelay.  Vandelay gets a pass since he has a baby at home.  We worried about the others and hope they got a good workout at whichever AO they attended today.

Here is, roughly, what we did:

0500:  Tantrum and YHC for a run standard of ~2.4 miles, including 1 hill repeat.  We found Jaws on the way back to the AO.

0532:  We waited, an extra 2 minutes; just in case Mona Lisa was going to join us fashionably late.  No sign of anyone else so the 3 of us set off.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Run ~1 mile, to the Latta pool but taking a long-ish way to add extra distance.
  • Disclaimer:  Forgot at this point.  Mentioned one later.  Cobains.

The Aqua Titan Thing!

  • Swim 1 lap free style
  • Swim 1 lap back stroke
  • One legged pool jump ups x 10 each leg
  • Swim 1 lap via underwater as far as possible then free style
  • Lunge walk back
  • Swim 1 lap via exaggerated side strokes.  *shrug*
  • Ok.  Let me mention at this point…I really don't know what I'm doing and am not qualified to lead a swimming workout.  YHC can barely describe the things we did today.  But we tried.
  • Few more laps, including 1 more backstroke.  Maybe there were ~7 laps in total.

We did some things out of the pool including:

  • Mericans x 10 IC
  • Low flutters x 25 IC
  • LBCs x 25 IC
  • Slow deep squats x 10 IC
  • Lunges x 10 each leg

 At some point we dried off then ran back to the AO.

Recover, recover.  Between the Standard and the main event, we ran ~3.9 miles according to Strava.

Moleskin:

  1. We prayed for Crab Legs who is having surgery today.
  2. This was not a hard workout, especially for a strong swimmer like Tantrum.  Appreciate you playing along though bud.
  3. Thank you Jaws for the opportunity to lead.  Really enjoyed the change-up in format and am looking forward to more Aqua Titan this summer!
