back to swimming....whee

Back to swimming, 1800m, and water martial arts....there is something so reviving about the water, and doing martial arts in water allows you to work power without the jarring of bagwork....now that i am swimming and doing DMA (Drowning Man Arnis), i am also back to more focused strength work. Today I did 25 minutes of one arm long cycle, 12 kbell, switching every 4 reps. I got 250 reps, with a bit of a sprint at the end...so 10 rpm. I plan to work up to 1 hour in five minute increments. I would like to do one of  the long cycle charity events. That is the plan, subject, as my dad used to say, to change. You need to have a plan, but you also need to be able to reassess it...is it too challenging, not challenging enough, too time consuming (my time will change when i retire that is why one hour long cycle is possible)
