Snowshoe-O at Eldora.

Things were going OK until I decided to go directly from #8 to #10. Sigh... I have DNF'd on occasion, but I haven't accidentally skipped a control since APOC 2002. When Troy mentioned last year that not having a punch card makes this kind of mistake more likely, I thought that was silly. But I'm sure a punch card would have helped me catch my error today. Of course, I still prefer e-punching, all things considered.

Shovelling snow and hacking at the 2" layer of ice underneath since I didn't shovel last time...

Miscellaneous stretching and warm-up stuff.

Lots of reps to warm up on clean and jerk movements.

"Grace" workout, for time: 65# clean and jerk x 30. 8:05. I was not only the slowest in the 5:30 pm class, but also the second slowest of everyone in all the classes today. :-P Women's prescribed weight was 85#.

Warm-up:

- jump-rope
- dynamic stretching and range-of-motion stuff
- pull-ups x 10 / push-ups x 10 / sit-ups x 10 / good mornings x 10 / squats x 10

"Angie" workout, for time:

- kipping pull-ups x 100¹ (14:56)
- push-ups x 100² (9:22)
- abmat sit-ups x 100 (6:20)
- squats x 100 (3:36)

34:14

¹The first 18 were unassisted; I used the red band on the remaining ones.
²The first 25 were legit; I did the rest on my knees.

My strength (or lack thereof) limits how much of a cardio/aerobic workout this is, so I didn't feel sick or anything afterwards. But I know I'm going to sit at my desk all day tomorrow and seize-up into a knot of painful head-to-toe soreness...
