Last Sat and yesterday, 11:33 and 11: 57. Got smoked yesterday. Both days 90 something with 40% hum. Cannot keep hands dry, towel and all. Still a good buzz.
Something different this afternoon. All walking, 108 F.
Slam Ball ( #20 ) 5K, Start with 300m with ball at hip and then on shoulder, then go extended overhead in one hand for a total of 1600m, switch hands every 100m. Then another 50m right hip,50m left hip,100m r.shoulder,100m left shoulder, then waiter carry for 2000m, switch every 100m . Finish with ball at side or shoulder switching every 100m. 50:13.
Well Shawn, the plan was a couple of miles of walking for a bit of heat stress, and a nice afternoon mental boost. Saw the slam ball sitting by my bells and one thing lead to another.You're on a different level than me, that's for sure. If I see 90 F on the temperature, I'm sitting in front of an A/C and not moving let alone seeing 108 and deciding that is a good time to carry a slam ball for 5k! That's unreal!
Was running late for work and still wanted to get something in so i grabbed my 55# and started chugging along. I only live two blocks away so i just went .5 in the wrong direction and back. Was also wearing my backpack and handy dandy fanny pack, so I’m sure i looked like a genuine crazy person running down the streets of Chicago during everyones morning commute.Results: around 19 minutes (19:17) without breaks or stopping. The first half i walked pretty slow thinking i would take it easy the first time out.... Then my grip started to fail around .5, and i said “WTH was i thinking!?” I then started running. Was pretty pleased with my grip holding up though, was a little scared of the 24k
Don, if you don’t mind me asking, where are you located? I’m just back from several days in Palm Springs, California, having competed at the USPA nationals, and the temperatures there were between 105 and 110 every day. The thought of outdoor exercise in those temperatures is, well, not some thing that gets me excited.Something different this afternoon. All walking, 108 F.

The last time I was in Phoenix was 30 years ago but I remember it as being similar weather to Palm Springs. I had never seen those outdoor misting setups before.Phoenix. And I " summer " in, Phoenix.
Surprisingly effective. A StongFirst floppy hat with a misting system would be excellent. I wonder how heavy a 30-40 min. supply of water for the unit would be ?The last time I was in Phoenix was 30 years ago but I remember it as being similar weather to Palm Springs.

Jocko Jr. , stopping is not allowed.My max is 1.34 km with 32 kg bell in 28 mikes. Stopped several times.
Impressive... I did it yesterday; 17 minutes - crushed me... Love this challenge24kg bell this evening. 12.47. Want under 12.30 now. Loving this challenge.
I can't decide if a SF boonie would be AWESOME or a bit too much.Surprisingly effective. A StongFirst floppy hat with a misting system would be excellent. I wonder how heavy a 30-40 min. supply of water for the unit would be ?
Scratch that. What was I thinking, StrongFirst does not do misting. Floppy hat would be cool.
I have my own logo and can slap that on a hat, but the SF logo is one of the best I've seen, and for what it represents.
Probably a bit too much on your cowboy hat.I can't decide if a SF boonie would be AWESOME or a bit too much.
Hey now, since I moved out of Texas I have switched to a substantially smaller cowboy hat.Probably a bit too much on your cowboy hat.
SF is well tied in with the boonie wearing communities, so I figured not a big reach.
The SF shield on a cowboy hat, maybe not great for training overhead movements, good for walking around town and the KB mile.Hey now, since I moved out of Texas I have switched to a substantially smaller cowboy hat.
