Spartan Race done :)

and 24 burpees, with adding difficulty each week.
We ended running 7.2km, 12x3 steps, 120 burpees on last training and one mock 6.4km run with 30 burpees after every 800m (240 burpees in the end). So yeah we didn't train for any obstacles instead opted to wing it with heavy burpee training

I failed 4 oobstacles AKA 120 penalty burpees: Fell off 3 climbing obstacles and missed with Javelin.

I touched the bottom of my powers when I had to do 3xburpees inbetween crawling in mud under barbed wire uphill in a short time but it was nothing the training didn't prepare us for. Also no injury besides some scratches yay! (And there was a lot of injuries, paramedics on site are always busy)



It was great working towards a goal like this and I'm looking for a new challenge.


Last week I've also traveled to meet my pals I used to play floorball with when I was in in the highest Czech league, some 8 years ago.
It was a fun 3+1 (a lot faster than normal floorball I must say) tourney and some top and current national team levels players were there, and I realized how much I suck compared to them. My team mates just couldn't grasp that I'm not gonna be the same before a 7year break as after it and I got chastised quite a bit


I've got a tournament this week in my town again, and after that I plan on taking on summer fitness goalkeeper oriented training.
It won't be as clear cut motivating as the Spartan Race though so I'm trying to find people to work out with. I want to be below 80kg by the end of the summer (87ish now - I've hit a plateau lasting some 3 months now - diet change's needed especially).
Besides my weekly tennis with Grandma Of course :D



Cheers for reading.


P.S. I'm playing poker too btw guys don't think I just run around having fun
I played some 110hrs studied tons last month. I also meditated quite a bit I always do 15-20ish minutes sitting meditation where I just concentrate on concentrating, and if my head's clear enough and I can still concentrate I do another 15-20ish minutes walking meditation where I attack topics from all angles, often poker ones too and came to some cool realizations, but really there's never enough of this so I'll try to put in some hefty meditation volumes next month too.

I have the pokerstrategy vip event at the end of the month - I'll defo post how it went

Yep. I got good at cardiovascular exercise, aka the ability to lose gains. I loved being a curl bro but it just isn't compatible with what's needed from a goalkeeper at all sadly :/

my legs are strong now tho. But I stopped doing arms completely except as part of core exercises. If I quit floorball in the future It's back to lifting though

Congrats!

I did "Tough Mudder" in September 2012 and September 2013. If you get a chance, check it out.

you look incredibly british
