Loaded Carries Conditioning Workout on Snowshoes
The day was gorgeous and I felt the itch to get out in the sun for some conditioning. The only drawback was that it was nearly 40 degrees, so the snow was soft and slippery. My snowshoes are excellent though, and provided ample traction to safely complete the session.
First, I needed to get the large stone out of the weather and back in the barn for future workouts. Picking it up from the soft snow and snowshoeing with it took a lot out of me. The carry/jog medley was the first of two sets. The second set was even slower and more painful, but I got it done and then hauled the implements back inside the barn. On the final farmer's carry segment I completed most of it in one run before I had to drop and reset. After I made it back to the barn, one of my hands cramped.
Though it was tiring and uncomfortable, I'm glad I had the opportunity to soak up some sun and play in the snow. My work capacity continues to slowly improve and fortunately my pain tolerance is already good. Later in the day I topped it off with a two-hour skating session and some firewood splitting. That's a good all-around day of "functional fitness"!
