Yesterdays WOD not much to write about ...
it was "Ryan" 5 rounds of 7 Muscle ups and 21 Burpees
Scale options made it impossible to get through 5 rounds in the 20min cutoff
So - managed around 70-80 Pullups and similar Box Dips and the Burpees of course
Todays WOD - 7 sets of 3 OH Squats
Got close to a PB - final completed set 55kg (got 2 out of 3 at 60kg... nearly..)
A finisher that I did with 12.5kg DBs..
Weight this morning 87.1 - up due to poor eating yesterday - my bad - so all good stuff today!!!
My journey through the world of CrossFit in pursuit of that lean muscular self that hides beneath

Last week of Jan 2013
The year is flying along already...
Lots to do
Crossfit again this morning (Monday) - survived OK given a gave myself a good workout yesterday...
Yesterday(Sunday) - I decided to try the longer run. Starting from home, ran to the quarry, around the forest track, and then back home. Probably walked a good km of it - it was hot, and much longer than I expected - took about 1hour 20min. I hope to do that next time with less walking/Stops and in about 1 hour 5 ish
Went for a good walk along the beach with M and the pup Lachie - beautiful sunny day
Then straight after played M at squash - 4 games, about 40min
Good eating all day too. Also ate well Saturday. Not soi well Friday as it was M's sons birthday and we had cake and nibbles and drinks etc
Anyway - my weight this morning 86.1kg - A good number to start the week
Todays WOD - "Diane" 21 - 15 - 9 AQAP (9 min cut-off)
- Dead Lift ( I did it with 70kg)
- Hand Stand Push Up (scaled with a 10kg plate under the ab-mat - probably shouldn't have)
My time 7min27

Crossfit 6.00am this morning

- 9 Hang Power Cleans
- 6 Push Jerk
Rx was 70kg !! shit - I did it in 11.53 with 50kg and felt smashed!!! The women's Rx was 55kg - This is a tough WOD - I'm feeling the effect on my shoulders from the power cleans and push jerks already!!
Weight this morning 86.1 !! - Probably lost a lot of water yesterday - but didn't eat too much last night...
