Masters Worlds review

[Alan H]

Ah, but what if you prepare and prepare and prepare and prepare....and work out and lift and throw and pay for coaching and. and. and. for months on end you prepare as best you possibly know how... and then go and don't do your best?

That's hard to swallow. Well, for me it is.

But it is, what it is. What went down, went down. Like I said, I'm kind of blue this week, I will bust out of it in a day or two. This stomach virus has not helped my attitude. Many of the guys I throw with locally do not practice at all, or perhaps about 1/3rd as much as I do. It's not going to hurt me to ease off for a month, in fact it will probably do my muscles and joints some good. I'll going to try to drop ten pounds, while I'm at it....and that can't hurt either.

'nuff said.

I throw some O stone tonight and try the spinning wob with the 42 pounder for a bit and call it good for the weekend. I'm going for a hike on Sunday, and that will be all to the good. On saturday I buy a new sleeping bag. Shopping therapy!

Now to conquer the post-Worlds dumps...as in "I got my hindquarters kicked...no... stomped, mutilated and pummeled in every event, all day long. Why did I bother to go?"

I know the fallacy of that logic, and my better sense will re-emerge after another day or two, but I'm in the middle of the crash. Figure, I get to have a day or two of it, then back on the horse.

Though June will be a more laid-back month for training, because of some family trips and stuff. All things considered, in terms of recovery and stuff, that's probably a good thing.

"I got my hindquarters kicked...no... stomped, mutilated and pummeled in every event, all day long."

me too, but that's usual.
I get the post games blues too.
So I just bought some chandelier earrings off of etsy.com. It helped.
