If you keep up the smartarse attitude, I'll throw them through the windscreen of your car. :twisted:<br />

<br />
Usual sprints again last night, with a jog to the park, 3 x aforementioned sprint routines, with 20 pushups/20 crunches in between each, followed by 2 x shorter sharper sprints as mentioned in my 28/02/06 log. Trundled home. the session again lasted about 38 minutes. I had 2 smallish ham, lettuce, tomato, avocado rolls for dinner, and rewarded myself with one small bundy, lime and soda to replace lost sugars <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
One point I'd like some feedback on please: is it good to be still sweating from your excercise after having a cold shower and dinner an hour or more after the end of the exercise session? I have no idea how hot it was last night, but it was very humid in Brisbane. I'm thinking as long as I keep pumping the water into myself after finishing, sweating shouldn't be too much of an issue should it? :nta -
No it will be OK. I find that you shouldn't have the shower as soon as you get home because you're still pouring heat onto your body and convincing it that it needs to sweat by raising core temperature and humidity. My post-ride/walk/gym session is basically:<br />
<br />- get home and throw down 500mL cold water.<br />
- take off sweaty garments - yes down to buck naked if you feel comfortable that way <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
- grab another 500mL cold water and find a cool place to walk around in while sipping - this is either outside (where the neighbours can't see) or if its too hot outside, in front of a fan or in an air conditioned room. The walking is just so you're not sitting still and potentially cramping up<br />
- Once you've got to a point where the sweat is basically dried you've cooled down sufficiently - time for a shower<br />
<br />
After the shower get around in boxers because in the Brissie humidity covering your body up will simply make it heat up and sweat.
-
yeah Nick, I pretty much do all those things you mention, except the buck naked part. It was half an hour after I got back from running before I even jumped in the shower, but even then I was sweating as soon as I got out. Must just be the heat, as the house gets shut up all day, and is often like a sauna when I get home. <br />
<br />
Got my tennis again tonight, which is something to look forward to. I have a habit of racquet-throwing tantrums, but since buying a new racquet, I've become a lot more selective in when I chuck a MacEnroe moment.
My mates call me "the mad racquet thrower from Kenmore" :nta -
I have a cold shower after I exercise, but only then after waiting some time for the sweating to stop. Obviously the longer I can parade around the house naked the better as far as MvJ is concerned. <br />
<br />
There is nothing worse than exercising, having a long cold shower, drying off and still sweating. Yuck, yuck, yuck. -
well Miller, count yourself lucky you don't live in the warmer, humid climes of Queensland then. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
I have that problem after every exercise session I do in summer, even when I wait for half an hour before having the cold shower...but I am a pretty sweaty person :shifty: -

oh shit, come on Emma, it's not nearly as offensive as a particular TSF poster, turned fastbusting moderator telling us he's going home to masturbate himself almost to death. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Judging from my press-up abilities ascertained tonight, I need wrist and elbow strength. Which means more of that, and some heavy elbow bending at the pub as well...

tennis last night which went for 1 and a half hours. Was good to have a run around, but my form was as shit as a shit burger wrapped in 2 big pieces of shit, with plenty of woeful shots played, and lots of explosive and volatile tantrums from me. One blowup even saw my racquet accidentally fly out of the court, over the fence, and onto the top of the enclosed cricket nets adjoining the tennis courts. It was a hell of a job retrieving the fucking thing, and this caused another Red Bull tantrum when I had to climb up onto the cricket nets to get it. A tough job because I'm surely not a monkey.<br />
<br />
I was, however, happy with my speed around around the court, which might be a product of all that fast-twitch fibre training. :nta -
Bit of a grumpy possum on the court eh? You need a contact sport <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

<br />
another sprint session last night, cruised down to the park, did 2 sets of the 22/50/22/100 routine, with 20 pushups/20 crunches after each set, then did 2 sets of jog 22m, sprint 22 m, jog 22m, sprint 22m. Polished it off with another set of 20 pushus/20 crunches, then trundled home a little the worse for wear. Total duration of the session was just under 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
As a side issue: my mother tells me I'm looking considerably fitter than a month or so ago, and I haven't pulled out the measuring tape to confirm or deny any improvements.<br />
<br />
All my good work this week is likely to be undone at a wedding I have to attend in northern NSW, especially as it's a day-time thing which normally requires copious amounts of beer to be consumed. :nta -

<br />
weekly game of footy last night, which went for 1 hr and 15 minutes. I got myself more heavily involved than usual, and my fitness and pace were more at the level I'd expect them to be after all my darstardly sprint training. It was bloody good fun, and I even managed to jag a few tries.<br />
<br />
A couple of decision-making errors though on my behalf, so I'll wrestle with my own demons for the next week until I have a chance to rectify the issues. -

Went yourself with a three man overlap outside you? Ah the joys of touch <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
That dastardedly sprint training must indeed be paying off Red Bull. You have certainly been getting into it. :happy: -

ha...nah MvJ, it was more just situations where I had to beat the cover and I cut inside instead of employing the 'in-and-away' manouvre that's served me well in the past. Also a scenario where our dummy half took off up the middle and as I accelerated to assist him, an opposition player grabbed the back of my shirt and held me back....the decision I [b]should[/b] have made was to clout the fucker in the head. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

<br />
Decided last night that my slightly tender knee needed a rest, so just did a mammoth session of pushups, crunches, and chin ups insyead of my usual sprints. Did 5 sets of 20 pushups, 5 sets of 20 crunches, and 2 sets of 5 chinups (very weak in this area). There was 15 seconds break between each set. My upper body is quite sore this morning.<br />
<br />
Tennis tonight, so I'll really try not to have any tantrums, because I always play better if I don't think about the score, and just focus on middling the ball.<br />

Hour and a half of tennis last night. Good to have the run. My second serve was fucking appalling, and my stats probably pointed to about 50% 2nd serves in. The artificial grass with a coat of sand is possibly the most abrasive surface known to man, and is very effective at removing skin from knees, as I again painfully found out.
