Pretty busy schedule the past few days trying to fit in paddle practices, AR training, and laundry!! Laundry will have to be postponed for mid week :(
I spent Saturday night experiencing a Game Changer competition. GC is a high intensity training program using functional and sports specific movements with brief periods of active rest (not rest!!!) between workouts. A competition is a gathering of athletes (from all different sports) with the aim to find the best athlete.
Already fatigued from the past few days of training I forced myself to go by convicing myself that I'd go "easy" . It was pretty inspiring to see so many different athletes gather for this event that I quickly forgot about my aches and pains and decided to put everything into the competition. Wow..the first 2 minutes found me on the ground - my body screaming in pain like never before! What a humbling experience!
Although I'm keenly aware of the injury potential of all this - the minimalistic aspect and serious competition between participants appeals to me. Not sure I'd pick this up as a new sport (gosh... too many of those already!!) but I see the worth in using this to add variety to my training program.
