New strength routine

The weather here at Dauphin Island has been awfully close to perfect this week: mostly-sunny skies, Fahrenheit temperatures in the low 80s, a pleasant breeze.

I have started a new strength routine to go from now until my next race on June 18.  Since I'm on the road right now, I've drawn up a routine whose exercises rely on either body weight or easily-transportable rubber bands.  It goes like this:

1.  Dips
2.  Hindu squats
3.  Standing flies using rubber bands
4.  Four-way abdominal crunches
5.  Front and lat raises using rubber bands

I did the routine for the first time on Tuesday and then again today.  I'm still a bit sore from Tuesday's work but that just means the muscles are responding to a new stress.
