Saturday Depletion

Trying to keep up with El Toro Blanco with 60+ lbs

Trying to keep up with El Toro Blanco with 60+ lbs


“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”
Seneca


Saturdays are great for longer than average workouts designed to leave you depleted.  We seek the depletion state because we will experience it soon enough.  Having been there before, repeatedly, makes us comfortable on the edge.  If you hit the wall for the first time when it counts, you are in for big problems.

Finding or creating workouts that may be harder than anything we will encounter in the real event is the goal.  I have never done Selection before and never served in the military so I am only able to guess at the difficulty of the tasks assigned.  I know they will be challenging, no matter who you are. 

Kokoro is the only real experience that i can draw from.  Because of my preparation, there were really no tasks, by themselves, that were more difficult than anything I did in preparation.  In fact, most were not as hard as what we do here, but close.  The difference was that these difficult tasks went on and on, in very uncomfortable conditions for 50 hours.  There were many times that a weak mind could have been convinced to quit.  The well prepared, the ones who had been to the edge repeatedly made it.

So today, I put together a workout that I thought might take us to that edge.  We also included full submerssion water dunks and rolling in sand a few times during the workout.  It took a full 3 hours to complete and recover.  I borrowed this one from SealFit's Monster Mash and then added a ruck.

then, with 10 minutes rest

Ruck 5k with 60+ lbs

 

The Super Glenn took me 62 minutes and the ruck another 53 minutes.  I was hoping to get in under 50 minutes on the ruck.  I have alot of work to do there.

If you try this one, make sure to hydrate well before after and during.

A few days with my wife in NC is a welcome change.  There are tons of hills, amazing trails, waterfalls everywhere, good food and good time with her away from home and the kids.  It is rare so we will enjoy every minute.

I ran 2 miles this morning which is the farthest I have attempted since my calf injury.  I felt great but it is probably wise to continue to go easy through the weekend.

We had to say a temporary goodbye to our good friend Jimmy this morning.  With a great opportunity, Jimmy and his family are moving for a year.

I have known Jimmy for 40 years and I feel lucky to call him a friend.  He was once my assistant as projectionist in 5th grade.  Since then, Jimmy has been both an assistant and a mentor, a leader and a follower.  He is a true friend and we will all miss him very much.

Cheers Jimmy!

1000 Pushups-SealFit Challenge

KOKORO 30 - 080.jpg

“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them. But do not let them master you.”
— Helen Keller”

 


SealFit offers monthly challenges that we like to schedule.  These are both physically and mentally challenging.

 

I have selected 12 challenges to be a part of our training for Selection.  Yesterday was the first one.

1000 pushups for time

This took Michael Miller 65 minutes to complete.  he was the first one of us to go.  The first one to try a workout or challenge has no goal in mind, rather just to complete.  The next few to go have a major advantage and can target a certain time.

I was able to finish 1000 pushups in 42:37 by doing sets of 20 for the entire 1000. 

Future challenges include:


• 1,000 sit-ups
• 1,000 pull-ups
 -All night ruck with PT throughout.  The worst things we can think of.
• 1 mile walking lunge wearing a 45 pound ruck
-1 mile burpee broad jump with ruck
-1 mile low crawl with ruck
-Run Burpee Run with ruck
-Quad Murph with ruck

Stay tuned for results

Books worth reading

I just finished this one:

With Selection coming up fast, I have been searching out books on mental toughness, mental preparation and mental training.  This was a great one. 

I listened to this one while driving mostly but also on a long row.  It was full of stories from Olympic champions and other athletes that could help any athlete, regardless of level.  I fully intend on getting my kids to listen to this book as well.

With some books, the narrator can enhance or spoil, entirely, the experience for you.  The narrator in this audio did a great job and carried the story nicely.

I think that listening to one or 2 chapters at a time is probably the best way to fully digest the information rather than doing a marathon session.  Tons of great quotes are littered through this book and there are take away lessons for just about anyone; athlete or not.

I particularly liked the section on injuries and setbacks as I am going through one of my own currently.  So many amazing stories were recounted of athletes experiencing serious injury at their peak, but staying mentally strong and coming back 4 years later to win a gold medal.  These athletes used a disadvantage and made it an advantage, which has always been something that I encourage and have experienced in my own life.  Combined with extreme patience, they were able to make their dream a reality.

These stories provide motivation and inspiration to anyone experiencing any kind of obstacles in their lives or striving to reach a goal.

The one big takeaway for me in this book was something that the author went back to continually.  If you can see or admire greatness in someone else, you are only able to do that if you, too, have some of that same trait within yourself.  Interesting...

If you like these kind of books, check this one out.

CrossFit and SealFit both honor fallen heroes by naming workouts after them.  Usually, these workouts are longer in duration than most and often very difficult.  I am looking for longer duration workouts and the Hero workouts are often perfect for our training. 

While I enjoy a difficult workout, it is also important to take a moment to reflect on the the purpose of naming a workout after someone who has given their life for the rest of us.  It is important that we give these workouts our best effort and to not forget their meaning. 

Today's workout is called RJ and it is accompanied by the following description on the CrossFit website.  Hooyah! to RJ and his family.

Robert Cottle  | Age 45

Veteran LAPD officer and United States Marine Corps Reservist Sergeant Major Robert J Cottle, 45, was killed by an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, March 24, 2010. RJ joined the Marines at age 18, and the LAPD in 1990. His various LAPD assignments included Hollywood Vice, Southeast Area, LAPD Dive Team and, most recently, SWAT. He is survived by his wife Emily and 9 month old daughter Kaila. The LAPD established a trust fund for them.

Today's workout was fantastic.  Selection will require a ton of grip strength.  We will carry stuff, hold stuff pull, push, and everything else imaginable.  I have always been a believer in grip strength since being a wrestler.  I never use straps in lifting and do some accessory work occasionally like pinch grips holds to increase grip strength.  Your grip can never be strong enough.

This workout was grip intensive.  I rowed rather than run which made it even more intensive.  Good luck with this one if you try it.  If so, post times and comments.

As I am still nursing a healing calf muscle, I laid off the running again today.  While I am not running, it is crucial to get some LSD (long slow distance) to increase my overall volume in preparation for Selection.  I know that I should be running 10-12 miles today, but if I dont let this calf heal properly, it will be a nagging, frustrating injury that will prevent proper training and probably resurface in Selection.

Believe me, I would rather run 10 miles than do a 15,000 meter row.

At any rate, I gave the guys a choice today and Trevor, Clay and I chose the full 15,000 while Robert and Blythe also stayed back for a long row.   Keith, Jay, Will, Justin and Turner ran and the 7.12 mile, 4 bridges course was completed within 1-2 minutes of the 15,000 m row.  Interesting.

I rowed 15,000 meters in 1:03:00 and Trevor came in at 1:00:17, Clay 1:06:00.  For me, I had a goal of keeping my splits under 2:10 for the entire row.  I saw 2:11 a couple of times as I lost concentration but was able to bring it back down.  Mostly I was around 2:02 but my overall average split was 2:05.6.  I am sure that I could improve on my technique alot.

Sweat index on this one was a 9.7 and I was completely soaked.

Jordan Does SealFit 20x

Jordan Gallup has been coming to the RRL for over 2 years.  He stays in good shape...good enough to take on the SealFit 20x Challenge at the last minute.  I asked Jordan a few questions about his experience and he was nice enough to share some insight.  If you are considering taking your training and your life to the next level, 20x is a great step.

Jordan in the mud pit during the last few hours of SealFit 20x

Jordan in the mud pit during the last few hours of SealFit 20x

TR:  Hey Jordan.  I heard you recently did a SealFit 20x Challenge.  What is it?

JG: SealFit 20x Challenge is a 12-14 hour event taught by Former Navy SEALs and SealFit coaches. It's called 20x because it shows you that you can do 20 times more than you think you can.


TR: How did you prepare for it?

JG: I only found out about it a few days before the event and really didn't know what I was getting in to. But I have been doing CrossFit and SealFit workouts for a little over two years now. I also memorized the SEAL Code and Invictus, which saved my team from punishment later.


TR: Were you well prepared?

JG: I think it's impossible to be fully prepared, because when it's 42 degrees out at 6am and smoke grenades, flares, and sirens start going off and you have to fully submerge in an ice bath and go through a muddy trench, it's a lot different from any other CrossFit workout you've ever done.


TR: What did you learn?

JG: I really enjoyed hearing from Coach Brad McLeod during the short classroom session. He went over the SEAL Code and what it means to have a Code for your own life. We also learned the importance of having a "why." Having a "why" helps keep you mentally focused to get through SealFit, but also applies to everyday life to see the bigger picture. "Why" am I doing the 20x Challenge? "Why" am I working at my current job. "Why" am I volunteering at my church? etc.


TR: How did this experience effect you?

JG: It has really helped my normal workouts. I had never worked out for 13+ hours in a row before or anywhere close to that number, so it really puts things into perspective while getting through a tough 45 minute SealFit workout.

Pushing them out under pressure

Pushing them out under pressure


TR: Any special gear?

JG: I brought all the things that SealFit recommends, such as camo/tactical pants, boots, two white shirts with last name stenciled on front and back, rucksack, etc. I'm on a gluten free diet and was thankful I brought my own snacks for lunch. Apple, orange, banana, and protein bar. I also put on sunscreen at 5:30am because you are not going to be able to do it later.


TR: What advice would you give someone who would like to try a 20x?

JG: "Attention to detail" If they say to stencil your last name in black on the front and back of a white t-shirt, do it. If you are the only one wearing a hat, take it off. Try not to stand out in a bad way.

"Nothing Lasts Forever" Try to make small goals for yourself throughout the day. It's hard not to think about the next 12-14 hours when you first get soaked with ice cold water. You start thinking, "I could get back to the wife and kids before they wake up, have a nice little Saturday, go to Home Depot, maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, if we have time." Instead, start thinking, "just get through this evolution, I can do this part." Stop thinking about yourself and look at the people around you going through the same workout you are.

"Never Quit" One evolution had us find a rock of our choice that we were going to hike with. You didn't want to pick a small rock because of the consequences that might come with it, but you didn't want to pick one up that would be impossible to hike with. We were only told, "do not let your rock ever touch the ground." We'd already been hiking the mountain, with our weapon and 35 lb rucksack for over 5 miles, and had no idea how long this part would be. As the rock became harder and harder to carry, I pictured myself carrying my 11 month old daughter, and how I would do anything to keep holding her. Just changing the uncomfortable heavy rock to something that gave me strength, helped me to push through the pain.

TR: How would you describe the overall experience?  Fun or not?

JG: The overall experience was great and I highly recommend it. Fun or not? It was a lot of fun, but it took a little while to figure that out. The more the group of individuals started to become a team, the more fun it became for everyone. You need to be able to have a positive attitude throughout and the more you can smile and encourage your teammates, the better experience you will have.

 

TR: What did you take from this experience and apply to your daily life?

JG: ”Do Today What Others Won't, Do Tomorrow What Others Can't"
The SEALs use this phrase to apply to going to war and other missions, but I've also applied it personally to my job and my professional future. Whether you are saving your money to buy your dream house or to take your family to DisneyWorld, whether you are spending money to go to a convention to make professional connections, or whether you are getting up at 4:45am to go workout and be a healthier person, the things you do today will affect the things you do in the future.

HOOYAH!

TR: Thanks Jordan...great job!

In preparation for Selection, we are moving towards more volume.  Jackie x 3 was a good one for us today.  My total time was 25:30.  This workout accomplished a couple of things.  First and foremost, it was a challenging workout that I could do and not do any harm to my healing calf.  Second, it was light and long in duration, but there were times when you were close to failure.  Third and maybe most important in preparation for an event like Selection, is the mental aspect.  Staring down 3 rounds of 1000 m row, 50 thrusters and 30 pullups is a daunting task.  Its boring, long, intimidating and painful.  Getting through that one is a mental victory.

I found myself getting through this workout by staying right in the moment.  I mean, I focused on small things right in front of me like a set of 5 thrusters rather than looking at 150 thrusters and the rest of the workload. 

If you break anything down into smaller bits, it becomes a possibility.  Looking at the whole often results in failure, submission to groupthink or simply quitting.  This can be applied to any area of your life.

Physical training like this is so important to my life because it constantly reminds me of lessons like this, thereby "sharpening the sword' daily.  When an intimidating or daunting task is set before me in business, personal life or in a workout like this, I am practiced and comfortable in the uncomfortable. 

Lately, we have been spending more time on focused quiet time together.  This time has helped me far more than the workouts for the body.  I find myself more focused, less fatigued and operating in a clear manner throughout my life.  We will certainly continue.
