POULSEN RACING

Aaron thanks again for the kewl Ed Hardy Shirt last night! At the team meeting and very good burrito Mexican night at Coach Lances house Aaron brought me a wicked shirt. I have never met someone who goes out of his way so much to help athletes get settled and cares so much in helping others reach there goals. Thank you Aaron! I have now reached my goal of looking like a rock star, Brent McMahon and i rocked out matching shirts today at our threshold swim session, but unfortunatly Dr. A swam masters this morning and didnt get to see it in action.

After a wicked weekend of training, Lance has given us 3 days of semi light training before he is going to hit us hard. We still have 7 workouts in 3 days but, really only the swims are hard, and the bike and runs are fairly aerobic. Yesterday a few of us headed out for a light open water swim at the ocean, even if me and my saggy red speedo almost got taken out to sea it was still a nice recovery.

Today started with a base run and some hill strides, followed by our threshold swim session with (8x50 followed by a 200)x3 hard with short rest. Even after a hard week i took a second or two of my 200's so that is good. After that we had a 1500 pull set and some kick and it was 5k logged. Getting home from the swim i had a box waiting from Colonels and i was pretty excited! (Thanks Doug, the small fits perfect!)

This afternoon was a light recovery spin with some crazy Maui winds. The plan was supposed to be 90mins easy but Coach Mark lead us on a tour of the island. That's it for today, here is to recovery we sure are going to enjoy the beginning of the week!
