And then it's time for my big small race. I'm kinda holding on to my schedule, but because of the excessive heat during the day, its mostly evening trainings. This monday I kicked off with an OCR training at Toughground. Sadly I didn't win 😞 What WOD? Again, the abbreviations! Can't we just stop that! Anyways, 12 rounds for time (this term also has his own abbrev but I lost that somewhere between round 7 and 8). What we needed to do: - 8 push-ups - Ramp - Incline wall - Rope pulls After 4 rounds I started to feel my arms pumping and my lungs hurting. And I wasn't even half way yet! So I decreased my tempo and just tried to take it obstacle by obstacle. So 27:48 later I finished. . . . 😒 Leave this Shieldmaiden behind. My endurance needs major improvement and at this point I'm not sure if I will be able to improve it within this short periode of time. When I made that commitment to participate in the Strong Viking race, I wisely choose a race far in time. But procrastination is the thief of time. And here I am, 5 weeks before D-day. I know the Viking races for the "normal people" is very open, friendly and everybody is helping each other. With the whole "Leaving no Viking behind" and all. The thing is, I want to try this on my own. See where my mental and fysical limits are and set an amazing terrible time. So no rescuing this lady here. If I fail, just leave this shieldmaiden behind and we will drink beer in Walhalla later. Restdate The following days I felt my arms! They were stiff, I couldn't contract my biceps, couldn't lengthening my arms either. Ah well. Thats done, up to the next. But first scheduling in a restdate, on the couch, with my man. Next time, my anatagonist: lousy stamina, shoulder injury and bad technique will meet again at the battlefield of Toughground.
