Wouldn't you know it I woke up with a terrible backache. This morning I made the tough decision to not participate in the TSC. I decided my back is to important to strain, as I always push for the limit. I kept waffling especially after a couple cups of coffee. I decided to go to Bikram Yoga instead and decompress my lower back. After yoga I decided to drop by the TSC as a spectator and watch what I was missing. After watching the deadlifts I knew I made the right decision, theirs always next time. When they announced the pull-ups session my ego got the best of me as my arms didn't hurt. I asked if I could participate in this event only and was given the go ahead. My goal was 15 pull-ups, I counted 11 and failed on 12. The counter gave me credit for 10 to my disappointment as my chin touched the bar but didn't go above the bar. I tied my personal record of 10 pull-ups officially. But thats what goals are for if they were easy it wouldn't be worth while to set goals. So my goal of 15 pull-ups remains. I will re-test in June 2009. The important thing to me is even though I had planned this event in my 2009 Goals. Although I couldn't fully participate my heart was in it and I at least showed up and tried to perform in the only event that would not stress my back.
