The knee was no better as I began the Survival Workout with 72 push-ups. I hobbled down the trail wondering how long I’d be able to keep it up and was ready to turn back at my third station when I asked myself again ‘what would Lance do?” I kept going. When I hit Clear Creek and found the water up about 3 feet it was my signal that I should turn around. I would normally do some sets beyond the creek, so I worked them in on the now shortened return trip, meaning I had less recovery time and found that I wasn’t doing as many reps...to be expected. When I reached the car, my knee was extremely sore and I was glad the creek had been high and forced me to shorten the course. With a big calorie day on the horizon, I hated cutting anything from the workout, but it was out of my hands.
Savannah, Holly and I sat down for a Thanksgiving episode of ‘Friends’ later that evening. They were sitting in the apartment and doing the ‘write all 50 states in 6 minutes’ challenge, so Savannah went and got some paper so we could do it, too. We all achieved 48 and struggled on until I picked up my 49th and called the game. It’s an interesting challenge.
