This weekend, I will be kicking off my first full-triathlon season with a duathlon, run-bike-run, at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. After shedding some holiday guinea pig fat, I am ready to compete and have some fun.

I am dropping my workout intensity this week but still staying active. I went to the gym this morning and did a whole body workout. Here’s my typical lower intensity workout during the race week.

• Bench press & push-ups: 2 x 12 & 2 x 15
• Deadlift & upright rows: 2 x 10 each
• Clean-n-Jerk & kettlebell swings: 2 x 10
• Floorwipers: 3 x 10
• Abs
• Cool down and stretch…A MUST!

All these sets are superset.

Good luck to all of you who are kicking off the spring with race or going back out to exercise!
