I'm breathing right and I'm focusing on proper form. *shrug* I hadn't eaten a lot on Monday (I go through periods of higher and lower food interest and I try to give my body what it wants most of the time) so that could definitely be part of it.

I did 25 KB swings @ 25# and some ab-torture in the form of alternating cross-crunches, hanging leg lifts, jack-knife style sit ups, and head stands. I had a TON of energy, but it felt more ballistic, like I wanted to run an obstacle course instead of weight lifting.

I plan to go back tomorrow and do some climbing and a couple quick sets of lifts.

I found a dirt/wood chip field near my house that could potentially serve as a nice place to practice throwin'. I have a suitable practice stone and a LWD weight. I have a fork that needs to be prepped, and I need a sheaf, but I could theoretically start practicing that soon, too.

It occurs to me I could grab a 30lb kettlebell and use that as a WOB practice weight. It's only 2lbs too heavy, right? Hmmm...
I've pulled all the other cabers off, but "your" caber is still out at the field. It may be joined in a few weeks by the VERY cut-down, Cardinal Caber. That thing will feel very much like the caber you had at Ventura...short but very heavy. It used to be 16 feet, it's now 11 feet, as I cut off the cracked part. I'll get some fiberglass tape around the big end and leave it out there this winter for you to bust a gut with.
