6.10.13- Getting back into the swing of things

Today's workout was all about getting back in the swing after two very busy weeks in which I was only able to get 1 workout in.

The first part of the workout was an attempt to establish a new personal record for the dead lift. Despite my two week absence, I was able to beat my previous record by 30 pounds! This was mostly due to a new technical innovation. I switched up my grip and things got so much easier. I felt like I could have gone bigger, but the time was running low and I figured I would let myself get a new PR next time too.

After that came a bit of cardio. Most of the class was tasked with the chore of running 4 heats of 400 meters each, taking a one minute break between each heat. As previously established I loath running, so I decided to switch it up and do my 4 heats by rowing 500 meters. My times (1:57.9, 2:04.8, 2:14.0 and 2:06.7) were actually pretty good. That means I rowed a nautical mile in a little over 8 minutes. Not too shabby, maybe I'll get my sea legs after all.
