And…
I have joined the Indigo 3 team.
I’ll still keep my training log here, along with more specific I3G stuff in the I3G log.
You can find that log here: http://tnation.T-Nation.com/hub/2busy#myForums/thread/4913421/

I have been battling the body recomp in the middle of me for a long, long time.
I’ve read through the changes and effects on others and am taking this rebuilding after surgery to change the game.
Definitely let us know how the Indigo stuff goes. Is it supposed to work even if your training is limited?

Saturday - 11/26
I played hockey tonight with my team in one of the amateur leagues in town.
We ended up with a 1-1 tie.
I felt ok skating, had only one moment of pain when I was fighting over the puck with a defenseman.
I have lost some cardio endurance.
Did have several comments on how fast I skated and control I had.
Had one good chance to score on my first shift, didn’t lift the puck enough and it got caught up on the goalie’s jersey on his shoulder.
