Busted up my toe after cleaning up the KBs on Tuesday. Putting weight on it causes awful pain. Strength: Bench Press @ 3x 85-90-95-100-105 (3x PR = 120 ... a LOT of work to do)
WOD @ CFC: 15 + 1 pullup
- 15 min AMRAP
- 3 CTB Pull-ups
- 6 Push-ups
- 9 Squat Jumps
Unbroken except for pushups in 3's/4's after round 10. I wimped out and did pullups instead of CTB. Bad toe prevented full jump squats or pushups. This was really fun ... but I have to be honest about something ... I worked hard, but my mental game was off throughout and I just didn't find myself pushing to failure.
Post-WOD:
Notes: After numerous surgeries and frostbite incidents, you'd think I'd be more careful about taking care of my feet... Glenn's article on the CFC blog today hit close to home and I really appreciated reading that. I only have a few years left to climb the big peaks and made some huge sacrifices to do so ... so without my feet, I'm in real trouble. In 11 months, we leave for our solo Denali climb and it's time to get my head together. Climbing may not be my career, but it's been my life since I was 14. This will be my 6th season on this mountain and its time to make what few years I have left to count. Something to think long and hard about. I remember this Army Cpt on Denali last year who lost his legs in Afghanistan ... there he was, dragging his body and his 125+lb sled up and down each cache/carry and working hard during each push ... he climbed 1/3 as fast, but that SOB was hard as nails and always smiled/waved when we passed along the route or saw him at camps. When we finally saw him come into high camp, Matt said that even though he endangers the lives of his climbing team with the handicap, he had a lot of guts for attempting this, we have absolutely no excuse for complaining, and it was time for us to grow a pair. Too true. This guy not only stood in harm's way for us, but set an example for us to aspire to.
