Gained weight, strangely. Sitting @ 200#
And finally, 15 pullups in a set.
Doing 6 at a time, don't think I'll make it to 15/set this year.
Gearing up for Jackson in two days. Tomorrow is my final day of taper, going for a 2 mile jog with my Aussie, then pack up and head to the hotel and dinner (awesome pizza and even better craft beer, my pre-race tradition). Feeling really good about my training, my fitness, and my capability. Weather forecast looks great, 45 and sunny with no wind, so I am definitley excited about a chance at redemption from last year. I will definitley try to update the thread on Sunday with results.
Gotta get my diet together, on the other side. That weight gain is weird, but I have been tapering for three weeks and eating about the same. Just another piece to the puzzle. On a positive note, this is the best I have felt during a hunting season that I can remember ever, and my new doctor told me I am one of the fittest people she sees
