Ab Workout After Big Performance with T.C. June 10, 2010

Tom and I put on quite the show on Tuesday night.  I think all of my fans liked it, but the diva in me is very upset that Tom is taking most of my publicity.  I would like to point out, that I’m back in top form and Tom followed my lead.  Just in case you missed it here’s a link to view MY performance.

J.Lo. & T.C. Rock MTV Awards

After a nice rest yesterday, I kicked it up a bit on the abs today.  The campers were screaming for a good rest on the flutter kicks, V-Sits, etc.  Why is it that 90 seconds goes by really slow, but 45 minutes goes by really fast?  If someone can explain that phenomena I’d much appreiciate it.

PT Test Day 1 June June 7, 2010

Today was PT day for the new camp.  Since I did the race on Saturday they were kind enough to let me help out with the new campers rather than do the vet workout.  There was no way I could have done stadiums today.

I did get suckered into being the rabbit.  Honestly though, it felt good to have a good run in.  The speedwork on the hill is also good practice for Nashville, so I won’t hold anything back on that.  It feels like it helped flush out some of the lactic acid as well, because my legs are already feeling fresher.

Tri in the Parks- Swim Section June 5, 2010

I took a lung full of water right around 100 yards.  I’m not completley sure what happened, all I know is that after I took in the water I couldn’t cough it up.  I called for the raft and waited for a minute or two.  I tried to continue on and finish but I had taken on so much all I was doing was coughing. I had to keep asking for assistance so I decided, it was just not my swim day (yet again), and it was time to get out of the water and kick ass on the other parts.

I will say that I did feel like I was “catching my stride” towards the end as far as feeling comfortable doing freestyle.  Not only that…even with my confusion of H2O vs O2 I still finished 300 yards 4 minutes faster than my last tri.  So I don’t know if I count it as a win, but I don’t count it as a defeat. 

Is it sad that a DNF is an improvement?

I was pretty pleased with my pace on the run section considering the hills on the bike had done a good number on my legs, and the first mile of the run was all uphill.  I think given enough brickwork this might just be my strongest area (for me anyway).  And I’d rather peak late than peak early.

Rolling hills throughout.  Got some speed on the downhills but the uphills I still need work on.  Not bad considering my pace on training rides without hills wasn’t terribly faster.

Final PT- May June 4, 2010

I definetly wasn’t going to be able to keep up with Brian P., who ran a 5 min 40 sec mile.  But, I was able to help 3 of the campers reach their goal of 9 or lower.  I felt really good because they all said that if it wasn’t from the pushing they wouldn’t have made it.  Glad to know my insane yelling while running up a hill out of breadth wasn’t for nothing.

We played ultimate for the workout.  Who knew that Tricia used to coach in college.  It got fairly competitive as always, but was alot of fun.  My team always ends up being on the losing side so we did pushups til our arms fell off.  Still a blast though.

Full Metal Jacked June 1, 2010

This workout apparently was taken from Navy Seals Hell Week.  It incorporated sprints, strength training, and ab work.  The distances went from 20, 40, and 60 yards.

I guess Jodi thought I needed more of a workout, because at the end of each round she said “Jordan take them for a run around the field.”  That involves me sprinting ahead for a good 100 yards, then keeping a steady 7/8 min pace to stay in front of the pack circling the entire baseball field.  Doesn’t sound like it would be that bad, but after you have just done 5 minutes of leg work, the last thing you want to do is be at the front of the pack on that run.

The humidity this morning….BRUTAL.  Thank God, I hydrated like crazy yesterday evening.  I sweated just about everything out of me.  It was pouring down my face and arms.  I looked disgusting.  Great workout though.

Joke of the workout:

We had just started doing the sprints and we were about to start a new round.  Jodi began to countdown and we were going to start on 3.  When she got to 2, Tommy and Randy jumped out in front.  I hear Tommy say “Oh sorry, sorry, we started too soon.”  I yelled out, “That’s okay Tommy, cuz if this was the real world you guys would have been shot first.  I think they call it the infantry.”  HOOAHH!

Brick @ McDaniel’s Farm May 31, 2010

Posted by jlojogs Run Digg! this story! Digg! this story. , add a comment

After the swim, we headed back over to McDaniel’s farm park for a run.  I decided to show Steve that the run really is my strongest event.  I knew the course this time so I didn’t have a problem finding my way.  I knew when to push harder and when to ease up. 

It was 1pm and the sun was out so the heat and humidity were killer, but I hit a pretty good pace on the second loop.  Steve, who normally is pretty chatty got really quiet as he was trying to keep up with me.  He said, “If you want we can walk to catch our breadth.”  I knew that was code for “I need to walk to catch my breadth.”  I picked a couple of spots to rest, so our overall time wasn’t as fast, but I definetly got him to a 9 min pace which was effortless for me.

Gotta love the run!
