As Providence would arrange it, i ran into two folks today at school with whom i got into talks about cycling. Each conversation, in turn, bent toward triathlon. It inspired me. i added all this in my constantly-swirling toilet of a brain with your suggestion that long-distance steady-state cardio is no way to cut fat, and i ended up in the pool this evening for intervals. That rocked! i haven't swum in some years now, so the bar was set nice and low. But it felt pretty rad to be back in the water. i was, of course, totally outta shape for it, but the recent lat work and running have actually kept me fitter than i would have expected. Did a 300m warm-up, 5 x 100m sets (very slowly, i'd imagine), and 350m cool-down. Not too bad a start, in my opinion.
Anecdotally, for the first time since early high-school i was totally unable to do a single pullup. Tried one when i got home: didn't work. Definitely put some muscles through the rigors that haven't been imposed upon in a while-e-o. Now to see if G's theory 'bout the weight loss is on track.
