Race Pictures, Recovery, and a Workout

Race Pictures!!





And my good pal Cyclops, aka James Mardsen, kicking ass. It turns out he beat me by a good 30 seconds. But, I beat him on the run. Suck it Jimmy!



Recovery!!

This is what I did for the hours post-race. My Pro Compression socks were waiting for me in the mail when I got home (they're sponsoring my Ragnar team). Score!



One of my many recovery meals. Costco is best, man.



I also recovered by shoving meat down my gullet at a Brazilian steakhouse Sunday, and by eating two pounds of sliced mango yesterday. Good times.

Workout!!

Business as usual back in my training garage.

x5 (no rest)
20kb swings
20 second rope slams

x5 (no rest)
5 tire flips
5 (per arm) 16lb sledge hammer tire slams

x5 (some rest)
12 chest presses (two 25lb weights)
15 squat and rows
20 box jumps (24")
15 curls (15lb weights)

And then I made box jumps my bitch by doing twenty 30" jumps. BOOM.

  1. Like the pics, love the recovery meals. The after-food is the true race medal.

    Damn X-Men - it's all fun and games until the mutants show up.

  4. Great pics!

    I live in terror of box jumps but I do them. You got 20 reps on a 30" box? I'm impressed!

    I'm OK with the 24" box but I've bitten it badly twice before doing box jumps. If you ever miss and slam your shins on that thing it hurts so so bad for so so long (a week!). After a miss not too long ago, I'm content with the 20" box for now, but I still hesitate before every jump.

  10. Awesome race pictures! So are you training for something now? I can't remember if there was another tri after this one.

  11. You look legit in your pics.
    The only jumping I'd do in a workout would be jump rope, otherwise I'm likely to fall and crack my skull.

  12. You look so bad ass on that bike!!

    I'm very happy that your post-tri recovery is going much better than your post 24-hour race recovery!!
