Thrusters and burpees
Monday, January 11, 2010 10:57 AM
Today I tackled one of the two extra WODs I need to complete this week as part of the “I Am Crossfit” challenge. I invited Andy to work out with me, since we don’t often get to do that, and we cleared space in the living room after I got home from Kung Fu. I was nice and warmed up after Kung Fu (I reviewed all of the black belt material I’ll be testing on next... Read More...

Welcome 2010
Friday, January 01, 2010 8:19 PM
I keep wondering if I should make a bunch of New Year's resolutions. I don't have anything against them, like some people do. In the past, I've usually set one or two resolutions, and generally I'm pretty successful at achieving them, because they aren't vague or wispy and I decided long ago that setting a resolution to lose weight was really stupid. Still, I... Read More...

Back to the gym -- team workout
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:57 AM
Yay for going back to the gym this morning! The coaches are hosting a number of free holiday workouts this week, and I signed up for Tuesday and Thursday morning. We were supposed to bring a friend. I could only find one person who could go to the Thursday class with me. Ooops. I guess no one else wants to get up that early. It was cold, but not too cold, and... Read More...

3 cheers
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 6:41 AM
I'm feeling a lot of different emotions right now as I write this post about this morning's WOD: pride, shock, modesty, gratitude, joy... where to begin? WOD (M #95 / F #65) 400m run / 21 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls 400m run / 21 Push Jerk 400m run / 21 Thrusters We actually used the bar to practice these moves instead of the PVC pipe, since all of us had done them...

Revisiting "Fran" -- Benchmark Challenge 2009 Part 2
Saturday, November 14, 2009 12:30 PM
Today was the final workout in my gym's benchmark challenge. I really wanted to do well this morning, so I made sure to eat well and get plenty of sleep the night before. Still, I did not feel as good this morning as I did the first time. I have my suspicions of what it was. Needless to say, I was exhausted after 9 hours of sleep and feeling a little puny. However...

"Jackie"
Thursday, October 22, 2009 7:35 PM
Today was my last benchmark workout for October, although the benchmark challenge continues and I'll encounter Fran again next month. It was raining this morning, and the WOD worked out perfectly. "Jackie" For time: 1000m row 50 barbell thrusters 30 pullups Instead of a run, we celebrated a birthday with 31 burpees. We did this in two heats, and I jumped into... Read More...

"Frantastic" workout -- Benchmark Challenge 2009 Part 1
Saturday, October 10, 2009 11:00 AM
"Fran," the workout, is a deceptive workout. It seems like it's not too bad when you see it written down: 21-15-9 Thrusters Pullups But once you get into it, you understand why some dread Fran. I read a really interesting Crossfit Journal article about how Fran works all major muscle groups -- squatting, pressing and pulling. Crossfit Central made Fran the highlight... Read More...

Barbell AMRAP
Thursday, September 17, 2009 7:00 PM
Argh. Today's WOD was really hard, and I'm not all that happy with my performance. AMRAP 20 minutes 5 Thrusters 7 Hang Power Cleans 10 Sumo Deadlift High PUlls I did 6 rounds and 5 Thrusters at 50 pounds. Ick. I felt wore out as soon as I finished the first round of thrusters. I had a tough time getting any momentum, and when I did, I couldn't stick... Read More...
