Training

So, the official training results are in. 

For this adventure

Since June 20th, I swam 50 seperate times ranging from 1000M to over 1.1 miles.  (I'm mixing my meters and miles because I swam at a 50M pool and a 25yd pool!)  I gradually increased the number of strokes taken per breath and got up to 6.  When I started I was struggling to do two.  Yes, I wore a speedo, but it was knee lenth.  Maybe that's why Bea wouldn't come swimming with me.

I ran 10-5K races this summer.  Topping it off with a 24:59 race time.  My slowest time when I started running was around 29:00+.  Maybe I should've eaten that burrito after the race.

48 miles of hiking, mostly in 1hr segments, carrying 40lbs of sand in my pack and sometimes the poodle.  Got a lot of weird looks when carrying the poodle.  And that was just from Bea. 

13 episodes of stair climbing at the high school stadium.  This was so boring.  But I occasionally caught a football or soccer game. 

Push-ups:  20.  (Not sure what happened there)

  1. So it sounds like you have been well prepared. How much does your pack weigh? Can we see a pic of it? Are you already with people you know?
