Today's Workout Thread

[Mvcrash]

Last night I did 30 minutes on the Eliptical. That is all.

Another ten-mile bike ride, yesterday morning. Butt-kicking headwind out of the west... return leg, of course; but I pounded it, and it was good... right up until I turned onto my condo walkway at-speed (like I always do) and an old guy came out of the open-air foyer. I had to brake, suddenly -- and hard -- and shifted my weight onto the left pedal, for balance. That was when I felt a "pop" (like a rubber band) in my left buttock, accompanied by a sharp pain. No, I didn't "dump", but stood there, straddling the bike for a minute. Ouch. It's called proximal (high) hamstring tendinopathy, and (from what I spent the rest of the day reading on the Internet) will be a 3-5 month recovery/rehab. It's ironic that this happened ten-days short of one year after tearing my right hamstring... all the more so, since the previous injury happened as I pushed-off/down on the pedal at the start of the same ten-mile ride (same condo walkway), while this one happened at the end. Does this qualify as "closure"?

Sorry to hear about your injury J.B. i hope you recover more quickly than expected.

Oh well, it'll give you time to work on your bench presses

Two hours bouldering today in the local indoor bouldering comp. I entered the 'masters' (old peoples) category in the 'Pump Fest' which was attempting 31 problems in two hours. I came second (there were three of us old guys). The other two have been climbing for 13 years, and I've been climbing for 16 months. Very happy with my achievement.

Congrats and well done Carl!
