Been a while here's the update:

Knee is starting to feel better but I'm going to give it some more time and get it back to up to speed. I was planning on rock climbing but Raj has to work so I'm going to do an actual crossfit work out(between Adventure racing, Krav and Rockclimbing its been a while). It has been good to do some other things, AR has proven to me that I'm much more well rounded than most. I'm starting to get into the 3~4 hour endurance level and going strong. My short to mid term goal is to make the 18~24 hour endurance events and finish strong. My mid to long term goal is to climb at least two +14,000ft peaks next year. I'm trying to build the skill sets as well as I can in Houston:

Rock Climbing: I have started climbing regularly including learning to lead. I can already see a marked improvment. I want to hit up Enchanted rock before the end of summer and Hueco Tanks in the fall

Treking: I've started rucking by increasing distance, speed and amount of weight carried. (My favorite is what I call the Man's Triathlon 3 mile run with day pack 10~15 lbs of weight including water, 2 mile swim, & 6 mile ruck with 50% body weight roughly 100lbs) I'm going to start increasing distance and including land navigation(using UTM plotter, GPS points, & pace counting)

Camping: This I need to really step up, I either need to find someone who like the outdoors or start going out on my own. Jeanna is awesome at everything but she is super busy and definately more of a hilton camper than a sleep underneath the stars camper. I think I'm going to take a couple of extra days off when we go to the Frio river and camp out at Lost Maples.

It looks like Ben and Shane wrote this one for me

2x

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 Strict chest-to-bar pull ups. Do not kip. If you can't quite get the movement, use assistance with bands. Full recovery between attempts.

Then:

Tabata plyo push ups

Tabata sit ups

Tabata push press 45/33# barbell

Score is the lowest number of reps in a set for each exercise
