Austin was the trainer today, and he was fond of wall sits during the 30-second breaks between rounds. Only they were wall sits keeping the right leg up, next round the left leg, next round on the toes. Lots of squats today. When Heather got in, she said they were having a special strong thing in July, and we got our pictures taken holding the "I am strong" sign. I took a very sweaty picture.

A new trainer today, Drew. He worked with me quite a bit sparring. We also had two moves I hadn't done before--crunchy frogs and rainbow leg lifts in plank position.

Elray and I went to Riverfront Trail after recycling. We walked to the road and back since the weather was good. On the return, no one was in the new skateboard park, so Elray got to do a couple of jumps, a table, and a ramp.

Felt good enough today to do the CHOW. It was a squat jump with a double punch. I did 131 in three minutes.

Then I had a massage.

Weekly workout with my trainer. Pretty intense today--added weight on the sled which I pulled backwards.

After not going to 9Round for two weeks, it seemed tough. My heart rate went up and stayed up. I put off this week's CHOW because I was breathing so hard. Maybe Thursday or Friday.

Today I did terribly, but I'm not sure why I lost focus. I started out badly, and had to go back to the start to relocate. This set the stage for a horrible performance. Two was good, then for 3 I went to 4 and had to go back to 3. I couldn't even make it back to 4; instead I circled around and got back to 3. The second time around I made it to 4, and had no problems with 5 and 6. I did have a problem with 7, couldn't figure out how to relocate, and thought that I would probably be over the two-hour time limit the way I was doing this. So I set out for the last control, a long ways away, found it, and got a DNF. Why do I do pretty well one day, and then totally blow it the next?
