I headed out yesterday mid morning to meet up with my oldest. He spotted a bull that I went after. Turned into more of a goat hunt. He rolled, flopped and slide about 500yds from the ledge I shot him on. We got out around 11 last night. Only did 5.5mi and a few hundred vert of climbing, but we dropped over 4000vert. We have 2 quarters left for tomorrow.
Strength
Every 3 minutes, for 15 minutes (5 sets):
Deadlift x 2 reps
These sets should be heavy! Ensure proper mechanics at all times, but the goal is to work at loads just below those that would cause mechanical failure.
Every 90 seconds for 16 rounds alternating:
-2 squat clean and jerks, building from 75%
-50 double unders + 3-5 ring MU
-max cal C2 bike/ski erg (alternate machines each round)
-rest
Yesterday morning got a short walk in with my wife and Tiny Elvis (3 miles) and then decided to head up the mountain and look for elk. I'm here to tell you that trudging through 8-12" of snow is a LOT different than covering the same country without snow! 8-ish miles w/ 1500'-ish climbing.
Conditioning
Move for 40 minutes, BUT start adding other movements into your Aerobic Conditioning.
5 minutes of Rowing, Biking or running with 2 or 3 minutes of
box jumps, jump rope, wallballs, burpees - keeping your HR between 24-26 beats per 10 sec while doing these movements. You will really have to test out the pace of movement to make sure you don't exceed 24-26 beats.
Been busy since getting my bull Monday night. My oldest came in from 1 direction with the UTV, I came in from another access point with my truck, then we walked out another way.
So Tuesday consisted of me gathering up vehicles in a shitload of snow and basically doing chores and shuttling my youngest and his buddy that were doing a walk thru. That day, my oldest went out solo, got a great buck and didn’t get home until after midnight. He grosses 189 and is super heavy.
Yesterday… oldest and I came into my remaining bull quarters from a different approach to get around the cliffed out country, then hiked down. We did a 5mi loop where we gained/loss a little over 2000vert and things went smooth.
Today I did a wet, rainy 5mi loop and didn’t see anything worth talking about.
4 miles (500’) with my wife and Tiny Elvis; odd phenomenon- it’s in the upper 20’s and it’s raining instead of snowing. About 3/4” of ice on the ground, definitely required spikes!
