just to let people know rachael had some pretty severe varicose veins but in august this year had an operation to get those sorted.
this involved lasers being fired down her veins/arteries to seal off the unwanted pooling areas of blood and then the now-sealed pools being punctured by needles to drain out the stored blood to prevent it going rancid etc.
this is quite an aggressive and invasive operation and will likely take some time to recover, however it does mean in the long run rachael will be able to do things like walk for a few hours without having leg pains and from there gain improvements in squats deadlifts and fitness overall. not yet though, currently standing up is hard work!
once she is able to again i believe rachael will be starting the 100 reps workout for a few weeks before attempting to hit a strength biased crossfit variation again, we are both looking forward to this
