Training has been light and this past week not at all.

You see, I REALLY want to compete in San Jose this weekend. So I have been hesitating to get back into the gym and blow my wad. Unfortunately, adult financial responsibilities tell me that's not happening. My training hasn't been so hot with events the past month but I can still be competitive. This competition is one of my last realistic opportunities to qualify for nationals which then opens up the next issue of competing on The Girl's Birthday which would be bad. San Jose is also a direct qualifier for Arnolds which is cool.

Moral of the story, my body is ready to compete as best as it can be on yet again with inconsistent training and short notice. Now I just need to move heaven and earth working for a miracle so I can go. In the end if I don't go, I guess it's my big nudge to get back on board and accomplish the final few things on my grip list and hold out on strongman for another year. My clock is ticking so this all is very inconvenient.

If I am not out of here on Friday by 6:00 am, it isnt' happening. Until then I will act and prepare like I am competing.
