Road to CDA 06: Swim 1600
Wed 6/14
no morning swim. Legs feel shredded, but in a good way. 15 min. in the hot tub, followed by 15 min. of core floor work instead.
Afternoon: Legs still thrashed. Miserable failed the stair test. Did a short swim instead. 500 pull wu in 7:45, then 1000 of mixed balance and stroke drills (10 drills of 100 yd each), then 100 cd.
Sauna later before bed. 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Very important to no go over this. I think 15 min at around 180-190 is the absolute max for this. Raising body temp is dangerous, prevents tissue healing, results in muscle break down, ect. 15 min is ok....any more and I think the risks outweigh the benefits.
Breakfast: 1 cup whole oatmeal w/ bwn sugar + 25 grams added whey protein, diet 7 up, small cup coffee.
mid morning: 1 orange
Lunch: Baja fresh black beans and rice bowl with added grilled chicken, vegis.
afternoon: Cliff protein bar
Dinner: 1/2 of a whole rotisserie chicken and half a box of rice-a-roni with salad. Put down 150 grams of sugar in form of gummi candy later + 1 beer.
