I'm going to struggle

The plan is is to do the WOD's as close to RX as I can.

This will mean that I wont finish many, but it will mean that I will be pushing my body harder.  This will apply to those WODs that are mostly Met Cons (Metabolic Conditioning) plus allowing me to get stronger.

Todays WOD was a good example

AQAP 25 min cut off
- 25 HSPU
- 50 Toes to Bar
- 200m Walking Lunges
- 75 Push Press 35kg
- 150 DU's

I didn't finish - was half way through Push-Press
I did do the HSPU's Rx with a kip.... while many did it scaled from a pike position off a box
I did the Toes to bar

So all good

... and injurered

Played Hockey last night - warmed up and my ankle was feeling fine... But about 10mins in, the top of my hamstring blew up - strained and maybe a small tear - bugger So no Crossfit this morning, and maybe not tomorrow either

13.5 is done and the 2013 Games Open comp is over

Did I have fun - hell yes!!! I learnt a great deal about myself and teh fitness level that I could achieve, even in this old body I scored 44 - One complete round plus 14 Thrusters in 4 minutes. It was tough Started back into it again this morning - another great XF class small warm up then some skill work (Turkish get-ups and DUs) the WOD 20 min cut off - 400m run (I did a 400m row to ease my ankle) - 20 Turkish Get-Ups with 16kg kettle bell - 40 20kg plate thrusters - 50 Push Ups - 60 Sit ups - 90 DU's I DNF'd was into the DU's with attempts and probably got about 12 done...

Another rest day

Ankle swelling is easing, so getting my mobility back...

Swollen bursa under the achilles tendon

This old injury is pissing me off. It feel like the tendon is being gripped as I try to extend my foot and walk. I'm getting a Ultra Scan on Friday to see what tissues are in play...

13.4 done!

So Easter started with doing the 13.4 Games WOD. 7 min of C&J and Toes to Bar ladder (steps of plus 3) I managed 40 reps. Very pleased with my C&J technique which saved my forearms from burning out. No other exercise over Easter. My archilles/ankle is very sore. I'm at the doctor now as I need to start the process of getting it fixed. Need that mobility Good but tough WOD this morning (5 rounds) - 7 MU - 21 SDHP Scaled the MU with 4 rounds of 6 PUs+6 Box Dips So I didn't quite make 3 rounds in the 15min cutoff Feelings little jaded as not much sleep
