So i started deadlifting again.  I’ll never use straps cuz i would rather gain the grip strength than worry about lifting more weight, but what i would kill for right now would be some lifting chalk.  God i love that stuff.  My college gym had it on hand all the time, but alas i am no longer a college student.  They had the real fine powdery stuff too, not the blocky chunks.  You could get your hands covered real nice and evenly with the stuff and your grip would never give out.  I tried using a hook grip, but my fingers still slip from sweat and skin oils.  So my deadlifting suffers from the lack of this key ingredient to strength training.  I’ll have to add this to my priority list….stock up on lifting chalk.

Started doing a couple of bricks a week.  15 miles on the cycle trainer then an immediate 5k run.  The post bike 5ks are down around 21:30.  I need to shave  a couple minutes off that by June.  Keep up with the intervals, bricks, and tempo runs.  My legs haven’t felt like this in months!!  At least that lets me know i’m training harder than i ever have before.  Can’t wait for next season!!!

Well gonna attempt to run a sub 19:40 5k today and then finish off the workout with my lifting.  Feeling pretty well rested after the weekend.  If i can run a sub 19:00 5k by the next triathlon season, i should be taking home some clydesdale victories.  Here goes nothin……
