chip, chip, chip away for we aim to climb another day…

on the road WOD … ugh … it’s like maintenance rather than progress … i really miss the box and my peeps … it’s just not the same, really …

1m run
50 pullups
50 burpees
50 suitcase overhead squats (48lbs)
50 TTB
1m run

oooh... tough 4 days training in the boundary waters ... driving 9hrs each way … then carrying heavy packs (65/85) in subzero temps … long miles, nasty weather, and nasty terrain ... tough, but good expedition training this weekend ... it was very telling about where I am and what work needs to be done ... bulking up to 150+lbs may not be as much a priority as much as other goals I've identified given how technical the west rib route is and some tough decisions Matt and I need to make about the future in the next few months  (http://www.supertopo.com/rock-climbing/route_photo.php?r=akdewrib&dpid=Pj01Pj84ISAl)

all life-changing things aside, this weekend was a good sniff test for ice fest competition in jan/feb, rainier in march/april, baker/hood in april, and (of course) denali in may ... as well as where our heads, hearts, and skills are at … good, but tough weekend

… will try to post more often, but matt and I have a lot of things competing for our attention these days … suffice to say that we’re doing well, but I honestly miss my coaches, my CF support system, and my friends
