This week and the new Rebel XSI









Here are some pics using Carley's new Rebel XSI, the clarity is pretty unreal. She even is becoming a photographer and I am really getting sick of the flashes every 5 seconds, but she is getting very good at using it and is capturing some awesome pictures. Next week will be a pretty easy week to recover before the next block of training starts. I will put in a few key sessions from my week below for those who like that kind of stuff, my last week was roughly 20hours. I'm sure you will see lots more pics from Carley's Rebel.
Monday- recovery day, active swim
Tuesday- hard Fartlek with Mike Hay. We ran 8x3mins with 1.5ez at roughly 5min-5:20pace on a hilly stretch on Lake Ramsey. The footing was tough so we were actually running pretty hard.
After the 90min run session I was off to the gym with Carley for 1hour of weights and core. Followed by a swim session with the squad here who are doing a training camp therefore it was a pretty decent one.
Wednesday- Swim in the am with squad, then later in the afternoon a hard ride workout with 4x8mins hard 2mins easy, I pushed some good power for my weight holding 331watts average.
Thursday- 2hour run with Mike, running 17miles on horrible footing.
later in the day it was some weights and core.
Friday- Swim with the squad for 2.5hours, and something else I just don't remember what.
Saturday- 2hour ride steady at 250watts, followed by a hard swim with the squad, it was a good workout, a lactic acid removal set one of the hardest I have done in a while. One of the sets was 1000m as follows.
4x50m on 1min 200pace
2x100m on 2mins 200pace
200broken (10seconds rest at the 50m) beat 200 best
2x100m on 2mins holding 200pace
4x50m on 1min holding 200pace
good workout for me holding 31s-32low for 50's, and shooting for 1:05s or faster on the 100s.
Sundays- 3.75hour ride with some big gear intervals, and a 1hour run in the afternoon with Ryan for 9miles.

FYI Brent, you can change it so Anonymous can't post here any more... email me and I'll tell you how. Then if they want to trash talk you, they'll have to say who they are instead of hiding behind the mask of anonymity. Keep up the good work Brent!!
