Exactly….Personally I agree with the climbing comments.
I'd like the Olympics to become more about individual competitors and get rid of the team sports.
Starting with Rugby, football (soccer), tennis (I know it's not a team sport). They already have massively successful world cup events, adding them into the OG is ridiculous.
Don't get me started on golf being in the OG...really???

Beautiful!Just checking in to see how everyone’s summer adventures are going. I’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to run, ride and hike around Stratton VT for the past few days. Nothing serious but fun nonetheless. Hope that all is well with the SF mountain community.
what a place...I strongly envy youBeautiful!
Would love to see some NZ mountain experiences. It is on my bucket list to get there and do some trekking.I must get into the hills in NZ and send you some pics. It's not quite the land mass of Alaska ? but a few similarities they share
You would love it! It has really different feel to lots of other places in the world.Would love to see some NZ mountain experiences. It is on my bucket list to get there and do some trekking.
Tell ya what. You can take me on Tahr hunt and I can guide you on a Dall Sheep.When COVID is over we'll have to do a house swap for a couple of months ?
Hell yes! Keep NZ in mind, and when those borders open we'd be more than happy to host you ?Tell ya what. You can take me on Tahr hunt and I can guide you on a Dall Sheep.
Pretty cool about the DL performance!"In Season" Strength.
An observation and a question.
My "season" has been going strong for about a month now. I average only one strength and one strength endurance workout per week. I mix in cardio where I can, fitness is an all day activity for me. On my 3-4 day weekends I have been averaging 30-50 miles with heavy loads in the mountains. By heavy I mean dragging 500+lb rafts up glacial rivers then carrying 50-100 lbs over mountainous terrain for some miles and some elevation. One interesting observation is that it seems when I come back from these trips the Monday after my deadlift goes through the roof. It feels strong and fluid and I have seen as much as a 20lb increase from one 7 day trip. All this is done on minimal calorie intake as well, I average about 2200 calories per day and am easily burning in excess of 5000, yet I have no muscle wasting.
Has anyone ever noticed anything similar?
The worst bit is the first stretch and the potential queues.Im about to walk up my first mountain, snowdonia in the uk.
Im going to take the easiest route as ive not done anything like it before and im going with my daughter whos 19.
I struggle to fit everything in with work and a young family, ive been alternating jump rope bodyweight circuits and strength aerobics 3 times a week, brisk walking for 45mins after work 5 days a week and one long hike or bike ride on the weekends....hopefully ill be ok getting up snowden!
Cant wait to do it though, already looking forward to the tougher routes!
