The Day of No Registration For You! Today at 10am is runDisney Springtime Surprise Registration, Wahoo! But I won’t be registering this year, Boo! In 2026 it’s the same weekend of our Senior Games Swimming and since I am the Lead on running the event I got to set up and break down stuff. Plus I’ll be swimming in between working it. Now I know the Yoga doesn’t sell out to almost the last moment so I may later on sign up for that. That’s on the Monday so it’s sort of doable. We shall see.

Wine & Dine 10K – OCT 25th

WDW 5K – JAN 8th

PRINCESS HALF – MARCH 1st

Springtime Surprise – APRIL 17-19th (Not Running)

 

Last night I went to to bed at 7:35pm. Didn’t fall asleep immediately as but close as Oura has me sleeping at 7:40. I was in bed for 7 hours and 49 minutes. I know for me I need at least 6 hours at night even though that is a sleep deficit it is enough to keep me going. I don’t think I can get to bed much earlier as I get home sometime between 5:30 and 6:00pm.

It sounds like you have a busy but exciting schedule coming up! It's a bummer to miss runDisney Springtime Surprise in 2026, especially since it's the same weekend as the Senior Games, but it's great that you're taking the lead on that event and still planning to swim. The Yoga option on Monday for runDisney sounds like a good compromise if you decide to go for it later.

runDisney & Future Races

It's "The Day of No Registration For You!" for the runDisney Springtime Surprise, which is on April 17-19, 2026. While you'll be missing out on this race due to your Senior Games Swimming commitment, it's impressive that you're leading and participating in that event.

Here's a quick look at your upcoming runDisney and other races:

* runDisney Wine & Dine 10K: October 25th

* runDisney WDW 5K: January 8th

* runDisney Princess Half: March 1st

* 24th Annual Gainesville Senior Games: September 14th (500 Free, 100 Back, 100 Fly, 50 Fly, 100 IM)

* 2025 ROB CURRY PANCAKE PENTATHLON: September 21st (100 Fly, 100 Back, 100 Breast, 100 Free, 200 IM)

* 3rd Annual SWAGtoberfest Meet: October 12th

* Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic 17: January 30, 2026 – February 1, 2026 (TBD)

* T.V. Senior Games: April 18 & 19, 2026 (TBD)

Sleep and Recovery

Last night's sleep had some discrepancies between your Oura and Garmin scores:

* Oura Sleep Score: 67 (6 hours and 25 minutes)

* Garmin Sleep Score: 52 (4 hours and 7 minutes)

Despite the difference, you were in bed for 7 hours and 49 minutes, with Oura indicating you fell asleep around 7:40 PM. It sounds like you're aiming for at least 6 hours of sleep to keep you going, which is a good baseline given your active schedule. Getting home between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM doesn't leave much room for an earlier bedtime, so optimizing what you can get is key.

Tuesday Workout: Chest Day!

You kicked off your Tuesday with a "CHESTIE" workout, focusing on strength development. Your current strength block runs from July 12th to August 23rd, followed by an endurance block from August 26th to August 30th, and then a taper from September 2nd to September 20th.

Here's a breakdown of your chest session:

Warm-up:

* 6 minutes of Easy Indoor Cycling

BB Flat Bench Press (175 lbs 1RM / PR)

You aimed for 3-4 sets of 1-3 reps above 90% of your PR, which translates to 160-170 lbs.

* 2 x 170 lbs (97.14% of 1RM / PR)

* 2 x 170 lbs (97.14% of 1RM / PR)

* Failed Set

* 2 x 165 lbs (94.28% of 1RM / PR)

* 1 x 160 lbs (91.14% of 1RM / PR)

* 1 x 160 lbs (91.14% of 1RM / PR)

You rested 3 minutes between sets. It's tough working at such a high percentage of your 1RM, and it's normal to have a failed set when pushing those limits. You still hit some impressive reps at 160-170 lbs!

Cable Chest Fly (65 lbs each side at 92.85% of 1RM / PR)

You completed 5 sets with 2 minutes rest in between:

* 6 reps

* 6 reps

* 6 reps

* 6 reps

* 5 reps

Your 1RM / PR for this exercise is 70 lbs each side. Consistent reps at 92.85% of your PR is a great sign of strength and endurance.

Tricep Rope Pushdown (110 lbs at 73.33% of 1RM / PR)

You finished with 4 sets of 8 reps with 1 minute rest:

* 8 reps

* 8 reps

* 8 reps

* 8 reps

Your 1RM / PR for tricep rope pushdown is 150 lbs. Maintaining 8 reps across all sets at this weight is excellent.

Morning Schedule & The Lift Ahead

After your strength training, you had a quick turnaround:

* Shower, Drive, and Eat Banana

* 6:15 AM – 6:45 AM: Taught a 30-minute Indoor Cycle class, with 6 minutes and 34 seconds in Garmin's aerobic Zone 3.

Here's a look at your training plan for the rest of the week:

* WED: Swim with Team (Triathletes) – Get ready for that 1,500 tomorrow!

* THU: Combo + Teach 30 min Indoor Cycle

* FRI: Swim with Team (Masters)

* SAT: Chestie (Endurance Set) + Peloton Walk+Run

* SUN: Combo + Teach BODYPUMP

* MON: Swim with Team (Masters)

* TUE: Chest + Teach 30 min Indoor Cycle (TBD due to work event)

The Wetdeck & Swim Totals

No swim today, but tomorrow brings the 1,500!

Your 2025 swim distance totals are impressive:

* SCY: 35,950

* SCM: 83,650

* LCM: 45,100

Keep up the great work with your training and event leadership!
