today's workout

Well, this morning I met my training partner on the beach for our regular Tuesday session.
This consisted of:
Walk 900m to warm up, then stretch - continual stream of chatter
Jog 900m, then stretch
6x100m soft sand runs
10x40m hard sand sprints with a walk back in between each one.
2x100m soft sand runs, with last one in a fast run
Lots of stretching & talking in between.
This all took us 50minutes.

One of the guys at work has just come back from Port Macquarie, where he did an Ironman Triathlon... wow, certainly not for the faint hearted.
It consists of 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and 42km run. The last 5ks on his run he was doing 5minute kilometres - pretty bloody good for the last moments of such an incredible effort. He did it in just over 12 hours. Sensational stuff!!
