Short Workouts and Zions...again!
Did a couple of short jogs and laps in the pool at Sand Hollow Aquatic Center the first week of September, but with 2 family birthdays and an aborted trip to California, schedules were too erratic for meaningful distances.
On Monday (Labor Day), I finally got back out to Sand Hollow Reservoir for a abbreviated triathlon workout of swimming and biking. I had to keep it short because I promised to take the kids to Zion's Narrows and a flat ensured that it would be. I spent the remainder of the day hiking several miles up and down the canyon with my 2 oldest.
On Tuesday morning, I did 2 laps of the 3 mile Bloomington loop run with push-ups, pull-ups and situps at the end of each 3 mile loop.
I'm an MIT trained engineer whose profession of business & technology consulting has allowed me to travel around the world. I am a Highland, UT native who has also lived and worked in Boston, Taiwan, Seattle, New York, Chicago, Japan, Silicon Valley, Denver, Orange County, Abu Dhabi, UAE and most recently Gillette, Wyoming. I was the 157th person to successfully swim the Catalina Channel and I am currently assessing future challenges. I am a strong believer in the power of human ingenuity and freedom.
