Triathlon rule #2375

Reads: control what you can.

Yesterday i could control very little. Tuesday was supposed to be 4x1000m repeats at about 4:00 each plus or minus a few seconds. Then Crossfit at lunch.
Got to the track at 5:30am ready to go. But I couldn't hold the pace. After 3 repeats with times ranging from 3:58 to 4:14 it was clear that I needed to shut it down. So I jogged another mile and went to work.

Work has been a mess lately. Markets have been ugly for 11 years and clients are getting sick of it. A little before 11am we were meeting as a team to plan for a review with a grumpy but important client set for the following day. Just then, he shows up. Fire drill.
Needless to say I did not get to Crossfit at noon. Later classes were out as well. Terri needs me home with the kids by 5 at the latest. So it didn't happen.
So that workout got pushed to Wednesday which was supposed to be a rest day. Here is what I did:
After warm up jog I did Cindy with 24" box jumps in place of pullups.
Cindy is a Crossfit workout. It is 20 minutes of time in which you complete as many rounds as possible of:
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 squats.
It is a lung burner. By minute 12 the pushups get really hard to rep out.
I didn't have access to a Pullup bar at home so I subbed in box jumps on a 24"box.
17 rounds in 20 min.
Tomorrow morning is 2miTt...
