Training Log Archive: possum

Spent almost eight hours today at the YHEC (Youth Hunter Education Challenge) with Dick doing the Orienteering portion. We had seven groups of kids, a number of them are planning on going to the national event in New Mexico in late July. Tough test. Two different tests were using two different bearings and distances and finding which stake was closest in a bunch in about five foot spacings. The White event was taking a bearing from a white flag back to Jane, a stuffed possum, and finding the distance and bearing. There were six other stations with tasks such as archery, muzzle loading, hunter safety, and wildlife identification. This was our second year to help with this.

Not as many Burpees as usual on Burpee Friday. My back is hurting near the scalpula on the left side.

Lots of lunges.

Max Porter Park.

Pulled the sled one direction, and pushed it back. Three times across the gym. Lots of balance stuff. Maybe that will help me with Yoga.

During Round 1, my chest strap monitor quit. It started again after about two minutes. While it was out, I activated my Fitbit, and it had my heart rate as 115 average and 153 max. Who knows? Anyway the CHOW was at Round 2 and it was how many Burpees can you do in three minutes? I did 32 and felt like that was sufficient. Then I went to the dentist and had an old (over 60 years) filling redone.

Mostly flow and sun salutations. Really sweaty. I managed most of the stuff, but had to stand next to the wall for a few poses, because of fear of falling. Really got some good stretches.

Beautiful weather, so Elray and I had a fairly long walk at Watkins Mill clockwise from parking to the overlook and back. This way she can get a couple of drinks on the way.
