reverse cotton row 10k, but this was the easy part of the workout.  afterward, after seeing juliec upping the ante on the plank, i tried a straight-armed plank.  i managed 5:10, then collapsed into a heaving, sweating, panting pile of pathetic.

my arms are still a little shaky four hours later...

This seems like fun and the potential to be my first ultra:

I think the most appealing thing is never being more than .5 miles from an aid station!

looks good to me, but one thing of which to be wary is the potential monotony of a loop course as well as the ever-present temptation to succumb to the call of the car.

that being said, there are plenty of folks that love loop courses and do really well on them (my 100 mile PR is on a 1-mile loop course), but some really have trouble with them.

i say go for it...

I can confirm the arm shaking. I spoke to Nevels shortly after his achievement was unlocked... I could hear the phone rattling.

5:10 for a straight-arm plank, wow! Nevels, you truly thrive under pain!

i think you need to let lynn sit on your back when you do it tonight. when my bro used to try and get in shape for football, he would do pushups with me on his back. i would also like a youtube video of this. i see lots of laughing...

I second this motion. I also second the idea of lynn on your back whilst performing said plank.

What's a straight-armed plank?

I still am in awe with the 5+ minutes and with straight arms to boot. WOW, you better have collapsed into a pile of pathetic after that!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
