Its been a few days since my last post and its been a rollercoaster of feelings to say the least. I ran the Wahsatch Steeplechase on Saturday morning and started off on a pace that was too fast to sustain throughout the race. The elevation was I bigger issue than I thought it would be. I knew I would be winded, but being winded turned into intercostal cramping before getting to the top which in turn, turned into hamstring, quad, and calve cramping about 5 miles to the finish. I will definitely make this race an annual thing to see my progressions and see how my game plans change. It was a blast to see all the people from the gym getting at it.

Steeplechase Time: 3 hours 31 minutes

Sunday: REST DAY

Monday: Nasty Girls

3 Rounds For Time Of

50 Air Squats
7 Muscle Ups
10 Hang Power Cleans

Time: 9:30ish

Feeling: I felt like shit basically, still being sore in the calves from the run on saturday. Muscle ups felt solid for the first 2 rounds and then my grip shit the bed on the third round. The HPC's were killing the grip. I will have to start working some grip drills in the coming weeks. I'm kind of bummed, ok more like depressed that my other job is interfering with new found ultra marathon hobby. I was totally stoked to run the death race, but got sideswiped by my other job with some lame training re-certification. All in all though. Its a great feeling to get back into the gym and get at some WOD's with other people other than myself. The competition is a good feeling. Its really good to see the trainers and client surpass me. I feel my dream job is taking affect on the others around me. I love it.
