![]() ![]() It was in my second or third season on the beach so I was still pretty raw but extremely keen to learn. I drew a lot of my inspiration for this training session from my first ever serious rescue/resuscitation and one that I'll never forget. I decided to make mine lifeguard specific and took our basic M-Shape course ( Surf Ironman minus the Ski leg) and added things that I thought related to when we need to have that edge fitness wise during serious rescues. Our weekly task for my 12WBT was to design a 1 hour training session. You can buy them direct from the Hexey weekly menu. Do your taste buds and health a favour and rip into one today, you won't be disappointed ! Another bonus is they have a resealable top so if you don't feel like finishing it you can save some for later. I've found they help me feel full and sustain energy through out the morning. I now have one every day on the way to work. Its only 286 calories and is a trail mix type snack that contains 20g of Protein. Phil, my main man at Hexey got me on to their Naked protein snacks a month or so ago, I was instantly hooked. If your looking for a healthy snack I have just the one for you. Bring on my 800m time trial, I think I'm ready ! I swam 3.5km and at no point was I feeling overly fatigued. Thursday nights swim squad session felt great and I really think my stroke change is starting to come together. I again tried to train a little smarter by not doing weights on the same day as swimming and it paid off. Instead this week I opted to fill my days with training and just kept as busy as I could, you won't believe how clean my place is ! On the training front I did my best to channel my emotions and used them to lift more in the gym, swim faster in the pool and and give it everything in my Shift60 sessions and it seemed to work. ![]() Over the last 7 days I have had times where I've felt like throwing it all in, ordering a Pizza and ringing one of the boys and saying "Lets demolish a case of Coronas" but in the end, how is that gonna help? I'm only gonna feel guilty as hell for breaking the promise I made to myself at the start of my 12WBT or get drunk, emotional and maybe say or do something I regret, it's a lose lose situation. Wether it be Stand up paddling in the bay, to her coming along to one of my Saturday Super Sessions or even us just going for a run together, it was great and we always got along whilst we did it. Jessie is a great girl and we used to do a lot of fun things together. Currently I'm feeling a little lost, I really miss the friendship side of things. For obvious reasons I won't be going into details but I figure if this is a blog about me going through my 12WBT and emotions and feelings play a big part in what we eat, how we train and motivation it definitely relates and therefore needs to be mentioned. Unfortunately this week I had a some sadness in my life, I split with my partner Jessie after 18months. Well, here we are, 11 weeks down and life is good, sort of. ![]()
