Today’s workout was done about 20 hours fasted. Gear used: Vibram Five Fingers (KSO); GymBoss timer.

Jog to the Lake Claire park approximately a quarter mile away.

Tabata Sprints (What these are)

Followed up with a mishmash of:

Ten dips on a couple parallel bars on the playground.
Two-armed climb up the support beams of the swing set (Swing set has three bars going from the top to the ground, I climbed up two of these whereby I ratcheted myself up to the top)
A few attempts at handstands
Repeat once.

Finished up with about five pull-ups and then a couple of holds off the playground’s pull-up bar doing a front tuck lever.

Workout thoughts: Not sure if it’s just being out of a workout routine or if it was the 20 hour fast, but the Tabata sprints were absolutely brutal. The first two sprints (there are eight total - 20 seconds sprint, 10 seconds rest) were pretty solid sprints. It deterioriated rapidly from there. I also apparently need a longer park to sprint for 20 seconds.

Will have to do that more.

It was also somewhat awkward working out in a public park. I like the variability that is forced on you by working out in a park with a plaground, but you start feeling a bit out of place when dogwalkers and others come to the park and you’re there doing an intense workout.

Ah whatever.

Went ahead and broke the fast with a half avocado and some homemade yogurt. Dinner is burgundy beef with mushrooms, onions, parsley and a salad. The beef has been on the slow cooker since around 2:00 pm. Mmm …
