Hot, Hot Saturday

Here we are, the first weekend of October and what do you know... it's 88 degrees outside! So much for autumn weather. We had a big day planned, so I made sure I got my Heavy Day workout in early.


Warmed up with 8kg doing some 2-hand swings and halos. Then same with the 16kg. Just enough to get me warm and loose, but not enough to keep count.


Then began with Clean & Presses with the 16kg. Three ladders, three rungs each.

16kg C&P - 1/1, 2/2, 3/3
- 1/1, 2/2, 3/3
- 1/1, 2/2, 3/3


Then is was time for Swings. I'm using the dice method to set my swing durations. On my Light day this week, I rolled a 9. On my Moderate day, a 10. I was certainly due for a short, but heavy workout. Come on, baby needs a new pair of shoes.... an 11!! So, trying to keep up the intensity, I only rested enough in between sets to catch my breath. This is what it looked like:


16kg 1SW - 11 min
15/15
10/10
10/10
10/10
10/10
5/5/5/5
5/5/5/5
5/5

180 swings in total, for 6336 lbs, or 576 lbs per min.

Then finished up with two sets of BW Pullups: 8, 5



Following the today's workout it was the day to attend the annual Matterhorn October Funfest.




Well let me tell you, 3 hours in the 88-degree sun is exhausting! It was way too hot to enjoy things.





They had a children's band playing (not bad), a tasting of NY wines (so, so), hayrides (too hot), face painting, pumpkin painting, popcorn and other activities for the kids. My nephew and sister-in-law came with us. Nephew is 4 years old, so he had a good time. The rest of us, not so much.





Here's one of me and my little guy Anthony.











I just hope that tomorrow cools down for us. Catch you after the weekend. Enjoy!
