i know i have mentioned this a few times, but i am missing the weights. i feel like my body is overall in way better shape, but not feeling as powerful as i have in the past. after this triathlon is over, i definitely want to incorporate some lifting days into my routine. i still want to keep doing what i am doing, just want to add in lift days, maybe just two. thinking about trying some of the crossfit workouts because they are usually full body workouts that incorporate the three big lifts (squats, deadlifts, and bench). any input is appreciated

You could get away with a full-body tue/fri split, keep it to a total of 45 mins and you'll love it. Did you say you are doing yoga?

no, not doing it at the moment but i do want to start incorporating it into my routine. a nurse i work with teaches it at the old gym i was a member at. its been months since i have done it but i liked it when i did it. i am flexible but have bad joints. i am the one in the room who snap, crackle, pop! the yoga helped me build strength and gave my body a well needed stretch. and i do like the tue/fri split. i have a few weeks to play with this and will throw out some ideas. critique and past experiences are welcome and wanted.

had a good day yesterday. i was able to do 5 miles in 55 minutes yesterday evening. my calves were really tired and were starting to cramp so i shut it down. they are very tight today so i will need to get a good stretch in this evening before the festivities begin. i know that they will loosen up some once we finish the rehearsal dinner and go find somewhere to cut a rug! i have my bike loaded up in the truck so i will be riding some. i am hoping that the track back home is dry so i can go get some miles in on an off-road track. i am getting worried about this triathlon. it is my first so i have no idea on what to expect. i love competing so i know i will have fun doing it. i have a busy weekend or as slim puts it a 'debauchery'!!!!
