Training began in earnest for the British Open, and I wrote something for Fightlinker.
I did my first ever proper fitness type thing the other day.
Down by the beach, a set went like this:
Run up loads of steps and back down.
Do clean and jerks with 16kg kettlebells.
Hobble up loads of steps and back down.
Do some kind of lifty swingy thing with the kettlebells.
Crawl up loads of steps, flop back down.
Do some more lifty stuff.
A minute’s plank, sixty sit ups, fifty hip thrusts with 20kg kettlebell on abdomen, side planks.
Holy mother of a constipated lamb, that was hard. I did two sets with A then gave up. Next time, aiming for three!

And I got my t-shirts from Ide-san at OJJ. Here I am modelling one of them and channeling the power of the British countryside (and cows) to send back to Japan.

Toodle pip.
I feel a disturbance in the force… like a million British countryside cows mooing all at once.
Yss! It worked!
