No doubt about it, the expedition is getting close. Having said that (Jenn!), skills, fitness, cold-weather, and mental training will continue until we board the Otter that will get us on the glacier.
I practiced knot-tying with my mitts on today while Matt did ran to/from work with a 75lb heavy pack.
Sound like a strange skills to develop? Perhaps. But imagine trying to set up a shelter, hump out your cache, or tie out an anchor when it's -20f, winds are a zippy 50+MPH, and snow is whipping your face to shreds. Yeah, these are things we want to do quickly, efficiently, and without mistake.
Truthfully, I am confident I can reach my fitness goals, it's just that I've gotta get my mental game on. I just don't feel as focused and confident. I feel overwhelmed. School full-time,
Anyway,
DL @ 145(5)-168(5)-191(13)
Metcon: 8 rounds + 3 Hang Cleans
Hang Cleans @ 65lb
KBS @ 40lb
Mean workout, but great. I can feel the DOMs coming! Yay!
I spoke with Coach for a few minutes to talk about my training strategy. He validated a lot of my thoughts but I need to continue working on them. Wish I had someone to bounce things off of and get advice that's more specific to training for the expedition.
Oh yeah, it's on.
