Baseball Season, Wind, and Winded

It was awesome to see some baseball yesterday and got to thinking about what an incredible grind it will be for those players to play 162 games over the coming months. The level of concentration, intensity, and physicality is difficult to comprehend especially when one considers that games in April count just as much as games in September. The only difference is that the mentality of the teams is that there is STILL TIME to improve and makes changes and move up the standings. In a lot of ways, this is what rowing teams face in the early season when the weather is poor and championship racing seems far away.

Also did a brutal quartet today that still has me seeing stars and wheezing - 5 x XX ring push ups, double unders, box jumps, and deadlifts. Finished off with some inversions (headstand, shoulder stand, and then some navasana). I feel much more centered and able to focus on the task at hand today.
