Pyramid

My arms feel like jelly right now. I just did a workout I saw in the Triathlete magazine April edition. The pro who talked about the workout called it a pyramid. It's not one of those pyramids you'd find in Egypt, I'd say it was more like those pyramids in Mayan culture which at the top is where they sacrifice people to appease the gods. I felt like I was needed to be sacrificed when I reached the top just to make it down the other side. Its like in Apocalypto with my head rolling down the pyramid while my body was still at the top.

The pyramid consisted of 8x50yds, 4x100yds, 2x200yds, 1x400yd and then back down finishing with 8x50yds. I was consistently slow. My 50 yard pace was almost exactly my 100 yard pace. It seems that swimming is just like running for me. I can't sprint worth a damn but I can hold a pace for a long time.

I was fresh because I had Elena this weekend so I didn't do any exercise on Sunday and just rode easy on Monday. Elena and I went to the park both on Saturday and Sunday to fly her kite. She had a good time even though it was windy enough to keep the kite up for very long. It was a pretty laid back weekend with her. We basically just hung out and watched TV most of the time.

We caught up on American Idol. She thinks it hilarious that Simon never likes anyone's performance. She likes David Archileta. We watched some Food Network. I get the Food Network in HD so it's pretty cool as the prepared food just jumps off the TV. We saw Morimoto crush a wannabe american trying to do Japanese cuisine on Ironchef America. They don't show the scores like the old Japan version which is too bad.
