Going Long and Hard.

Session 3 with Art. We're still in the base phase, which is great because I can do these without being recovered from a 14 hour bike ride. My weak points are very obvious.

Todd posted a teaser for the Polar Ultra. It's gonna be punchy as all Frick. I ordered a geared dropout set for the Arctodus so I can walk less than I would if I keep it SS. There's a husband and wife team doing it SS and the guy is talking about running a monster gear for the snowmobile trails. He's either a monster or will DNF on the first climb. He's not a local and he's never done an Ultra. So...

Al and Kristen Wade? Know them from doing TSE in '19. No, they're not local, but they have done quite a few long distance events. And some big events too. They're both firefighters from the Chicago area.
 
What weight are you squatting/deadlifting? Are you able to do your body weight in either? Going to give it a shot tomorrow.
 
It's reps of 10-12 @ 165lbs. Squats are weird 1 leg things with 45lb dumbells. I don't think we do anything heavy for another month.
 
Think I'm gonna upgrade my hood rat gym with some new dumbells so it's slightly less hood rat.

Session 4 with Art. Glad it's raining the next 2 days because he fucked me good and this princess ain't gonna walk straight for a week.

I give the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells 5 stars. Can be found on FB marketplace cheaper than new. I got my set at Costco, included the stand shown in the Stand Bundle.
