Comments: Still not entirely sure what I am doing. Bought a measuring wheel so I can be even more descriptive with my training on moving events. Plan for the day was moderate run with frame, speed work with yoke and heavy stone. Frame started off poorly. I was expecting to go like 80' with 720lbs. Not happening, wasting way too much energy to break it off the floor. Got a measly 16'. Dropped it down 100lbs and went over 150'. I wasn't expecting to go that far and it was a hassle getting the frame back to the start. Involved having my dad push while I dragged it with a harness. Did way more sets that I expected with yoke. Idea was to start at around 50% of contest weight and add weight until I couldn't do 50' or more in 10 seconds. One ways was slightly uphill and the other slightly downhill. Getting close to that limit with my last two sets but called it there since it was already eight sets. Had no Spider Tack on hand (mine disappeared in Tunica) so I resorted to using some two year old tacky I keep in reserve. Strange using normal tacky again. No near as good as Spider Tack. Got 385lbs pretty easy but couldn't get 420lbs high enough to lap it. Got to do some more thinking.
