Jake's random note: I have no idea why I called this post that, other than it's easy to put in an "En-yay" on a Mac...and I love that movie.
Cycling
Friday: nothing interesting, just the usual commute of 7 miles, give or take change.
Saturday: 28.3 miles. Pace was messed up by a bad cramp in my shoulder on Friday that persisted even to today (Sunday). Also got my first riding flat of the year, which managed to put a nice gash in my tire. Ah well, I was thinking of replacing my tires before the Ride anyway, but now I gotta... just now the question is: which ones to replace it with? I'll see what's in stock at my LBS on Monday night.
Sunday: just a short ride of 3.15 miles, up to CTB and back for breakfast.
Weight lifting
After my workout I tried a C&P with both hands to see if I'd made any progress since last time I checked (which admittedly was only last week). Progress! I was actually able to C&P with both arms, and didn't feel like I was going to hurt myself when I tried with my Left. Nice! Also tried a Snatch with both arms... that wasn't so nice, but I'm guessing it was my form more than anything else. I could sorta get in one on my Right, and not at all on my left...which wound up more like a higher Clean than a Snatch. No worries though: I'm making progress and that's all I really care about.
- FTW Squats
- Pumps
- Halos — I noticed that if I use hand cream the night before (recommended by the books to reduce blisters/calluses) I have a hard time with the Kettlebell feeling slippery (gee...I wonder why) in the morning. I may need to go looking for a different cream than the natural stuff I was using...
- TGUs — rather than guess at 5 minutes, I tried using the countdown timer from my cell phone. Worked like a charm, and managed to get in about 4 reps in 5 minutes. Sounds good to me!
