Thanks Shane. I did that entire metcon in my Peloton shoes. It was pretty hilarious. At first I was going to switch in and out of the bike shoes but kept thinking, “Wait, I think I can do burpees (etc.) in the bike shoes.” and ended up just doing all of it with the bike shoes on.

Comments: Started off in the gym with a metcon, Hex Deads and Pull-ups while my son was showing me his dinosaur collection. Then went to the gym and finished up. Good session.
That is a heck of a session Trent. LoL at your son’s dinosaur’s show and tell. My son also loves dinosaurs. My wife found a good trick to save money from buying toys and books, take them to the library. Free new dinosaur books.
Thanks Shane. Every once in a while I tell him that dinosaurs are extinct. I don’t think he understands what that means yet. 10-4 on the library. Good tip!
Comments: Lots of beers went down yesterday at the pool. Then a huge steak dinner last night. Went to the gym around 9:00AM this morning and really liked it. It was almost empty when I got there. Supersets galore. That widow maker squat set was brutal, as always. Done.
Thanks Shane. To be fair, it was more of a late afternoon and evening of drinking but close enough. I think the steak gave me a lot of energy this morning.
Comments: Good session. Got a nice metcon in, then went to the gym and did some push work, then back to the garage for a cool down on the Peloton. Done.

Comments: Ended up volunteering at the swim meet last night so I didn’t get home until almost 9:00PM and was starving and tired. Naturally I was dragging this morning too, but I still got up and pushed it. Good ride.
Thanks Shane. My general rule now is to ride in the zone above what the instructor says (if possible) on Power Zone rides. On the rest intervals I try to keep it right at or above 20 mph. So a high zone 3/low zone 4. Can’t really swing that on Olivia’s rides though. LOL

Comments: Well, that will put hair on your chest… My buddy texted me that Anthony Diaz metcon. He did that one yesterday morning, so I figured I’d give it a shot. There was no official weight, so I picked 95 lb. 115 lb probably would have been better but I’ll be happy with no injuries. That took 20 minutes and I wanted to get more work in so just went straight into Half Murph. It felt good to do that again and it felt nice without the vest. Done.

Comments: Good session. Started in the garage and then went to the gym. My son was “working out with me” in the garage. I think I will always treasure these mornings when he comes out and is trying his best and having a great time.
