BOA Climb this weekend, ready or not…
Well the time has come to climb the tallest building in Downtown Tampa.. ugh! Why did I sign up for this? In December I did the tallest building in St Pete, then I had only trained on the stair master..but I felt better prepared then right now. And that was only 28 floors this is 42! I have been training off and on since december. I did 27 floors with a friend of mine twice on two Saturdays in December, then I received a weighted vest for Christmas..and about 3 times in January I did the 27 floors once with 12.5 pound and then again without it. I felt like I was going to die everytime it did not get easier and I dreaded it. I was getting ready to increase the weight to 15 pounds..when I had a tightness come up in my hip..and I had to take two weeks off. Last weekend I did the 27 floors 3 times, without the weighted vest, didn’t want to push the hip to far..as I’m already in physical therapy for it. On top of this training, I was doing my normal cardio..and weight training.. increasing the step type training on legs. And my obstacle course training..since the hip injury about 3 weeks ago I’ve had to cut way back ..I did start indoor rock climbing ..which has been fun…but won’t really help me much on the stairs. Hopefully things will go well and the days of training and feeling like I am going to die will help me get to the top of the BOA with a respectable time. Since I’m injured, I’m not going to go crazy..and hope for a repeat performance of December (3rd in my age group) but I will do the best that I can. Ready or not.. its time!
