A successful push

Yesterday, Friday, was a long haul. Get up, stretch, strength training, bike to the beach, swim, bike home, strip off wetsuit and grab second backpack, bike to work, work hard for several hours, bike home, sleep for about five hours, and bike back to work by midnight. Today was a full shift starting at midnight, bike home, stretch, strength training, laundry, and a 30-minute run with the bike; then a big meal and sleep. I'll head back to work soon.

Thursday evening, I packed two backpacks in preparation for Friday. It turned out to be very helpful, but it felt strange; I had never before had a schedule so packed that it was worthwhile to pack two backpacks in advance.

I'm feeling more and more productive. Much of my time at home now is spent asleep. My strength training is proceeding well; 60 reps on each exercise this whole week, with no resting. Next week, I'll do 65. If this rate keeps up, I'll achieve 100 reps around the same time I reach the end of my current triathlon training plan.
