Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Extra-hard workout #2. New max on cable press, (13.5) and I'm now pulling the entire weight stack on 1-hand pulldowns for 6 reps. I added wrist weights to my dumbells for concentration curls- maybe I need heavier ones?
Also a few sets of 30 pushups on balance board, and some calf lifts and wall squats.

Warmup on the paddle trainer.

Hike to work with some detours to check out alternate routes for the contours-only training session, in the pouring rain.

Here's a question- for a contours-only session, I want to direct folks around a couple of dark-green areas. Would you rather see
1- a secondary CP (eg 3A after 3) to guide you in the right way,
2- a marked route for a small section
3- a few trails marked on the map?

Hike home with poles in the dark and fog. Crossing Duffy's I saw a truck slow down, then drive parallel to me for a minute before flashing a strong flashlight back at me. I was tempted to turn the Fenix to 250 lumen and blind them, but fortunately resisted as it was an OPP officer on patrol, who called out to me. When he saw I was a mere dog-walker off he went, but not after I thanked him for keeping an eye out for motorized vehicles etc. Wish I'd had time to mention hunters.

Home to crab legs and LD cookies (Thanks LD50!) and Crash brownies while the keen athletes were out bounding in the yard, doing push-ups in deer poop in the dark.

The Ice Queen declares no biking to work yet on my recovering knee- Grand Canyon's next weekend.

Workout #1 + core & a bit of leg strength. Again at previous max on most exercises.

Finished up the training exercise, and re-did the first part with newbie Raf to see if he could do it contours-only. Yep.
