7/19/15 – Good Extended Test of Quad…sore but no Pain!
Solo cruise down to the inlet and back.
7/12/15 – Tempo (WINDY & HOT)
Battled the 97+ Degree Heat and 13-15 mph winds and tried to keep my HR within a Tempo Range (Zone 3).
7/8/15 – Intervals – 2x4x3 @100RPM
First day in a long time doing intervals, fought off the urge to vomit the last 2 intervals. Leg is doing well, almost fully recovered from muscle injury.
A little cross training anyone?
I have not surfed in well over 3 years, after the sport being an integral part of my life for over 18 years. I started my career in the the surfing industry and was an avid surfer as well. I am going to get back in the water with my new custom ride from Matt Kechele. I have been riding Matt’s boards since I was about 17 years old and still remain loyal to his brand. I like to say that the surf industry raised me to the be the business person I am today and a lot of credit goes to the loyal friends and colleagues I have in the industry.
