Triathlon training officially begins! CrossFit Endurance - training week 2

I decided to use CrossFit Endurance to prepare for my Half Ironman (Timberman in New Hampshire) in August. I will try to explain CFE in a future blog, but for now I will post the link to the CFE website for you to peruse at your leisure.

Morning workout - CrossFit
Strength: 
Shoulder Press 5x4 (add 5-10# from last time)

Met-con:
In Partners:
3 rounds:
Lap around building with KB
20 Dumb-bell clean and presses
15 Toe to bars / knee to elbows
20 Lunges with KB

Cash-out:
Mobility WOD
Results: partnered with Christie (used a 20# KB and probably could have used 26#; K2E are more like knees to sternum-level, but getting better, run around the building was slow, but we pushed ourselves and finished in 19:11)

Evening Workout (3+ hours after CrossFit)
Run 5x1000m @85% - 3 min rest in between
my legs are tired and this was tougher than i thought it would be. 4:11, 4:31, 4:38, 4:31. 4:24
