Crossfit

So, the WOD for today was: Part A: 8 minutes straight of “kipping practice.” Part B: Front squats, 8 x (20 secs on 40 sec rest) Part C: Helen = 3 x (400 run, 21 KBS @ 1 pood, 12 pullups) I wound up being late because not only did I hit the “crazy SUV m …

FRIDAY WOD (today): Part A: 10 Min EMOM 3 Back Squat 120/85KG – no can do this weight. I back squat to a box, think I can do 10k (orange bar) MAYBE 15k (red) 4 Burpee Part B: “Jack” 20 Min AMRAP 10 Push Press 52/35KG – this is 15k for me 10 KBS 1.5/1P …

Okay, SO! I’ve discovered (duh) that the deal with me is that I get all “beat up on myself” when I haven’t been able to get out there and work out. Which is REALLY ridiculous to even TYPE (for me) since I (as per my last blog post) really AM the girl w …

So, as you (the mythical you, since “you” really means “me”) can see, I haven’t blogged in a while. I find that I’m often spinning plates – and then all the plates crash to the ground. H calls me a “gadget freak” and that’s somewhat true. Have you seen …

I have 3 “GiveIt100.com” projects going. I’ve talked about this a lot – it’s a free website where you post 10 seconds of you doing whatever it is that you decide to do as a project, every day for 100 or 365 days. When you get to 100 (or 365) you get to …

My TAR buddy Moddie and I worked yesterday supporting the LLS Team In Training Tri team in their first open water tri. Go Team! The current was SO STRONG in Paradise Park that I wasn’t even able to stay on top of the surf board. Holy cats. I tried, but …

…quitting makes you a quitter. So, another blog post related to the Crossfit Games. (Enough already!) This morning I couldn’t sleep, so read a blog post and responded to it. At length. Before coffee. With typos. Then I went off to do the Crossfit Gam …
