Rick Walker Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 The rain kept me from doing my rock walk/farmers walk yesterday. So, after work this am, I drug them out. 230 pound stone-25 yards 210 an arm farmers-25 yards. Conditions: rain soaked yard-muddy, very very soft-boots very sinking in. I love bad conditions-they make you a beast when the conditions are spot on! First run-downward slant grade for stone, uphill for farmers: 40.12 seconds. Yuck. Heals of boots were getting stuck in mud. Didnt warm up at all, just jumped right into it. Second run-upward for stone, downward for farmers: 39.12 seconds. Better-but only by a second. At the end of this one-I fell. Not sure if I tripped or just collapsed. Third run-down-downward for stones, upward for farmers: 34.10 seconds!! YEAH! Despite sinking in the ground I made good time. I would like to get 30 even by contest time. The key is a fast transition from stone to farmers and to quiet that damn voice in your head that is beggin you not to pick up the farmers! Cant wait to see how I perform on flat cement. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 I am on a flood plain brother. Next time you are here chek the 3 foot water mark on my garage walls-thats from the river paying us a visit. That is why the mosquitos are so persistant and the grass is so damn green.
