Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

[Elky Welky]

I'm down 35 lbs since May. Still batting 0 in the elk woods, but at least I look better while I'm out there (you never know where love will find you), and that fancy Sitka gear with it's "athletic fit" actually fits better...

I’ve been to that mountain. It’s a good sight, and a good time. I’ve aged since and have paid closer attention. Hunting at 54 is quite a bit different than it was at 40. I’m not any less successful, but I have all of that plus the knowledge it only goes so far. I’d gladly take my 40 year old legs back though.

I freakin did it! Tonight was the night rowed 14k in an hour. Avg 1,170/5min split and grabbed water at 30min, again at 10k. MPH was consistent close to 9mph, stroke rate increased. Arm endurance has noticeably improved. I’ve been doing cover to cover albums for rowing tunes because it’s easier than stopping to flip through music. Tonight was brought to us by the Real McKenzies.

You know what doesn't get you into shape? Moderate Running, drinking beer, and coaching soccer. And lack of daylight.

scale isn't moving at all, but wife says I look like I've lost a ton of weight and things fit better... so I count that as a win. Plus hiking in and out of the woods seems a lot easier these days

Your wife lies better than mine.

That’s astonishing for a retired person!

Luckily, I’ve done a few endurance events like this before that I 100% did not train enough for so around mile 40 when the cramps started, I knew how to work through them.
Like all the ligaments and tendons in my legs might be torn right now and I can’t get out of the car and I’m not really sure how I’m gonna shower, but I got through the cramps.

I like to swim. It takes me just over an hour to swim a mile (1800 yards).
