Day 31

My first comp for the year is in less than a month... and I've got a lot of work to do. Since I've been on Australian Ninja Warrior that means I have to compete in the Pro Division alongside all the super great American Ninja Warriors that have been training for years.

I can be an underdog, I'll just have to work harder than everyone else.

So, then, you'll be super impressed to see this list of things I was more useless than:

I intended to go to Parcors, the hardest class in the world.. but my partner was so tired... (she worked till 1am the night before... that's not cool Corporate America!) so by the time she got home and I drove out I missed the class entirely. They have Open Gym afterwards, which is basically like free time where you can work on your own specific things.

I warmed up... saw how incredibly sweaty the Parcors peeps were and barely did anything. I was tired myself (had a 2 hour nap) and all my muscles and tendons hurt when I tried to do anything. I tried this lache again and just could not get it.

I tried my January Challenge by Hive account@skiesandsports and got nowhere... biceps and forearms were burning as soon as I touched it. Here is a photo though:

Hmm, this photo doesn't show perspective... those pegs are at head height. That top part is 14ft, so it's a distance... I probably only got half way before the biceps just got up and left without me.

Anyway, so yeah... gave up on it all and drove home... did some stretches and went back to bed. Good times.

Today's exercises

Warm up
Flopping limbs around.
