  • Workout comments: This was one of the workouts where the weight I chose was clearly too heavy for the intended workout. It took me well over 30 minutes which I think should be the maximum time limit for any sort of effective metcon. It's long enough to the point that it is seriously discouraging to attempt another rep, because you know how many you have left. Kathy (the instructor) suggested that anyone with more than 2 rounds left cut the workout short, because she had to get back to work.
  • Only had 5 players against a pretty decent team (with 9 players) so I was pretty exhausted by the end of the second half. We were up 9 at the start of the second half and watched helplessly as the lead slipped away by the end of the game. Pitiful.
  • Body condition: felt pretty good yesterday. Ankle felt decent during the game, but defitely a little sore afterwards. Put some ice and felt fine the following morning. Quads were also a little tight following the game.
  • Resting heart rate: 46
