Not much of a workout day

Today the family and I went to the Naval Academy to see the annual spring football game (navy versus navy). This was on recommendation from the senior I met yesterday at the O Course. At the end of the half when we left, (little siblings couldn't handle a whole game) we headed over to the old course and I practiced my over the bar maneuvers. The mid shipman go under the bar and pull themselves all the way around. 

Here is a little video of me doing a couple with as much form as I could muster:
My sister actually completed the rope climb at the end of the course. It is 2 inches thick and 20ft high. She is 5.
After the O Course we headed over to the school where I bought some navy apparel for my birthday.

 What I feel was one of the best purchases was this book shown below. The Naval Academy Candidate Book. I have just started reading it and it seems like it will be an invaluable tool in my application  process. After the store we drove around the campus and checked out all of the buildings and such. It was really cool seeing the fields(like 100 of them) and the buildings like Bancroft hall in person. I am really excited about applying.
I forgot to mention the workout I did this morning. I worked on form for clean and learned the form for sumo-deadlift-highpull. also when doing the O Course I did a couple weighted bens. Strict pull ups with a 3 year-old kid hanging on to your legs. 

All in all it was a great day. 
HOOYAH!
