Bad Training, Good Times!

So this last week my training went to shit.  I took Wednesday off because I needed to pack and get on the road to Omaha Nebraska.  Omaha was the site of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and I had tickets to all 6 sessions.  I had glorious plans of getting a run in 2 of the 3 days I was gone, this did not happen.

Wednesday was St. Patrick's day and this lead to me being up too late, and too hungover on Thursday to get up and get a workout in before the first session of the tournament.  The first session went really well with Iowa advancing 9 wrestlers to the 2nd round of the championship bracket and one wrestler still alive in the consolation bracket.

There was a session scheduled for each morning and evening on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Our original plan was to workout in the morning go to the session, drive back to our crash pad, hang out and drive back for the evening session.  We soon learned that the sessions were longer than expected, and the drive back wasn't worth it so we spent Friday and Saturday killing time in the old market district.  Friday we spent that time eating and Saturday we got a workout in at the YMCA and a nice meal at Old Chicago.  I got no biking in, no swimming in, and only 1 run.  On top of that we didn't get home until 2:30AM on Sunday and so I missed my Sunday workout as well.

On top of all these missed workouts I ate like a PIG over the 3 days and despite all of these things I somehow managed to lose 2 pounds.  So my training starts anew tonight.  I have a chiro appointment this afternoon to straighten out the damage from 10 hours in the car, crammed into an arena seat for 24 hours total, plus my normal wear and tear from training, oh and sleeping on a couch for 2 nights.  After that its back to the grind: Lifting, Abs, Stretching.

The good news is, Tuesday is supposed to bring 60 degree weather, and that means I get to ride my "new" Trek bike OUTSIDE!!!!   More wrestling details in my next blog post.
