swimming 15:00 [3] 0.52 km (28:51 / km)
Felt better today, 200m followed by 320m. Could have kept going but I'm trying to work my way back into it (actually I was hearing the voice of my surgeon saying 'don't jump back in the pool and do a whole km first day back.').
gym cardio (dreadmill) 21:00 [3] 2.46 km (8:32 / km)
I woke up too late to run/walk outside so I did a treadmill session which was quite enjoyable as the Ironman race from this morning was on TV again. I had already watched it but I'll happily watch ironmen again and again. :-)
yoga (Happy Hips (long)) 1:19:00 [3]

weights 50:00 [3]
Not as weak as I expected on some things, but horrendous on others - triceps dips and bench rows.
swimming 10:00 [3] 0.32 km (31:15 / km)
SOOO nice to flow through the water again, but hard work after the weights.

paddle 30:00 [3] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
Took Julian out at Hillaries on Karl's XT. It was flat at first but in the space of minutes the wind came in and waves came up. Then I felt bad as the poor guy was struggling so I stayed near him in case he fell out. Great to be on the ocean as always and catching waves was just awesome. Downwind time!!

I'm starting to see how doing yoga frequently is the way to improve . . .

jog/walk 24:58 [3] 3.0 km (8:19 / km)
ahr:130 max:147 (injured)
HR weird, at first I was 215bpm which was wildly off - so HR data a bit of a guess based on the 2ndand 3rd km. Middle km 7:28 with 500m of jogging.
core stability session 10:00 [3]
With the usual light weights.

paddle 1:02:05 [3] 8.1 km (7:40 / km)
ahr:140 max:192 (injured)
Another slow paddle in headwind, then cross chop, then finally wind behind me. However that's the section where my heart got up to 192 and I didn't feel all that great! It took a while to get it back under 155 as well, probably five minutes after I stopped paddling.

yoga (Happy Hips long) 1:19:00 [3]
I got a voucher for Lulu Lemon (yoga clothes place) for my birthday - from a guy I went out with a few years ago . . . what is he trying to say?? So I got a yoga mat and a Happy Hips DVD and dove right in to the 'long' version of the workout.
It was hard work and my hips feel a bit less attached to my body than they did before.

Note
I just wrote my training program, which starts today (sort of, I can't get back to my gym until 1st Jan) and there are 15 sessions a week. This enthusiasm may need to get scaled back a bit!
