Previous time

Today’s Time 38:26

I felt good this morning and was surprised to have beaten my time in 2014 when I was training for Selection. I spent 14 months getting ready for that event and wore a 45-90 lb ruck in all workouts leading up to it and trained in boots and pants. To even come close to any of those scores today is very exciting for me.

There is a possibility that we had a ruck and a 60 lb bag for the walking lunges in the original workout but today it was just the ruck. That could be the difference, but still, to be in the neighborhood of what I was doing back then is great. Everything else was the same.

22 Burpees for today’s challenge combined with the Wim Hof Breathing and a cold shower

I went unbroken on this one this morning and beat my previous time by almost 2 minutes. I might have gone to the Games in 2014 if I could have performed like this. I credit a boost in performance lately to losing 15 pounds. I am at 178 and would like to be at 170 for best performance.

It was a somewhat sad day to have to say good bye to Wade. This isn’t a permanent goodbye, but it will be for the summer. Ill miss Wade. Solid dude who has never complained one time, about anything. That is a very good quality in a training partner. Probably helps that hw is a retired 20 year Marine. We will miss you Wade!

Lots of rain today. I had planned on an outdoor Hero workout but we decided to keep it inside

Simple one today but good for a longer effort

Great way to start a Wednesday!

Eventhough I have a little delayed onset muscle soreness from Monday’s Situps and core, I broke through that lactic acid buildup this morning and got everything moving nicely.

We started with a lung burner

1. 50 pullups

   50 Wall Balls

   Do this as fast as you can any way you want. I did 45 pullups, then 5 then 30/10/10 wall balls for a time of 3:29

Then, after a little rest, we partnered up, Corona style, and did the next one. Corona style means we used our new protocols of keeping 10-20 feet between us and not sharing any equipment. Also, no actual tag as we did previously on the Tag Team part.

2.2 man team -300 swings/400 m runs

complete 300 kettlebell swings as fast as possible. While 1 pattern swings, the other runs 400 meters. Switch as many times as necessary to get 300 swings. Time is when the 300 swings are complete.

If you are in the #trpfitnesschallenge for this month, today is 8 burpees, 3 rounds of Wim Hof Breathing and :30 cold shower
