Just spent the last hour lubeing my chain and adjusting the brakes and shifter a dozen times.

Race tomorrow. Gettin` nervous.

Ok so I got sidelined from my workouts due to illness but I'm ready to get back.  Has anyone done Judo?  My local rec center offers the class for free and they compete!  I youtube'd some videos and it looks amazingly beautiful when the throws come together.  This should help me get back into my wrestling weight.  All I have to pay for is the Gi. 

Judo

I've done Brazillian Ju-Jitsu and it's similar to Judo, but Judo is a lot more throwing oriented. A lot of fun though!

I did Judo for a year, I really liked it.

Reading some rules, looks like I wont be able to use my single or double leg take downs from wrestling.  Any throws that involve grabbing the legs is illegal unless it was used as a counter or secondary action.  So no fire-mans carry and the leg take downs   There goes my edge lol.  But i'm still good with my Belly-to-Back suplex's, I'm excited to see how my wrestling will transition, albeit limited to what I can do under new regulations.  They also teach ground techniques since chokes and arm bars are part of winning a match....I get my workout and self defense....Nice!

New workout: Climbing the tower with full gear while hauling hose packs. Breathing with an airpack definitely takes some getting used to.

I did that for the entrance exam for the local FD....I was gassed after having to do the whole course...unfortunately they where looking for 15 positions out of 1500 applicants.  I may volunteer when my wife figures out where we are getting stationed.

Yeah, we (the volunteer probies) were just doing 30 minute bottles today. I didn't have any issue with the 45 minute bottles though. And since we're a tiny rural department, no high rise packs and no officers packs.  Our big thing is nasty auto accidents and inclement weather (along with the tons of medical calls). Definitely looking forward to auto extrication class. 

hydraulic tools are awesome! Nothing feels better than being able to rip apart a car!

these high intensity workouts mixed with cold meds are a fun time.

i have felt like i was going to puke before, but last night i completely lost my legs as i tried to sit down to take a breather. 


so next time i'll jsut suffer through the coughing and headache without the meds making me loopy too.

I remember a practice where I crawled out of the pool to hurl, because I was plain beat. It was a winter practice so I hobbled out to the outdoor pool deck in the cold and puked. Came back in to see that coach had stopped everybody to point out "He's the only one working hard enough here!"

Confused as to whether to feel proud or embarrassed for hurling.
