@FlyGuy… I noticed your new post script signature from Chief Seattle when I got back. Here is a quote I found about 10 years ago.
“When the buffalo are gone, we will hunt mice, for we are hunters and want our freedom.” Chief Sitting Bull.
Most Americans don’t understand that quote.
All the regulars on this thread probably do.

A glorious morning here- mid 50's w/ a little light rain/drizzle- it's only lasting one day, but wow!

8 miles and 2000' for Tiny Elvis and I.

I went into this one already feeling whooped. I did the 5:30pm class yesterday so I only had ~ 13 hours of recovery before this Monster WOD.


“31 Hero’s” - AMRAP31:
- Partner 1 completes 400m Sandbag run (45#), while…
- Partner 2 completes:
- 8 Thrusters (135#)
- 6 Rope Climbs
- 11 Box Jumps (30”)
(Switch when Partner 1 completes the run)


RX for this one was a 155# Thruster. I did 3 reps RX before admitting to myself that it was foolish. I dropped to 135# but I still had to break them up 2/2/2/2. The other movements I did RX. Tough, tough WOD.


Then I shot 12 Pairs of arrows at 27 yards working on fast follow ups that hit in the kill zone . After break of the 1st arrow, load and shoot a second arrow as fast as possible. The first couple were :12; but majority were sub :10 with a few at :08.

With September quickly approaching, i decided some backcountry hiking would be a great way to get in some rucking and test out my overnight gear.

Last night i got off work, drove to trailhead, walked as far as i could before dark/rain. Made camp, slept decent (rained/thundered all night long), woke up and hit the trail.

Learned a few things, got to use my gear, made some notes, and wore out my calves.

Total distance 12.75 miles, 2920'elevation gain with ~35# pack.

Man I’d kill to be able to train like that here. But it’s flat AF, the temps only get down to a low of 79° F at night with 98% humidity, and the damn mosquitos would be absolutely relentless.

Well we definitely got the humidity here, could cut the air with a knife nearly. Plus the rain had everything soaked. Usually the misquitos are ravinous but my premetherin seemed to keep them at bay. All kinds of yellow jackets to dodge though.

The thing is, you don’t have to kill to train in cool mountain areas….all you have to do is commit and move. I know, a lot easier said than done, but it is doable. The high today in Chugiak, AK. was 53°, perfect weather for a backyard hike in the mountains.

Man, I think about it almost every day. Im 49 now. My goal is to retire at 55, and gain residency in either AK or WY.
