Just checking in. I am now in England and have some time and connectivity. Everyone is doing great! Probably spend most of today resting and recovering from all of the flying I have been doing lately. Take care.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Since I'm on a 5-on 2-off schedule, I should have rested over the weekend but instead I found myself at the gym on Saturday doing things that my outdoor workouts don't cover:

10 rounds
row 500m
10 jumping pull-ups
30:40
Had to catch my breath a lot on this one.

Sunday I played tennis. Tennis is sort of like resting, isn't it?

Today - 05/11/09
6AM group workout on North Shore

WU: 2 laps along the river

[B]WOD[/B]:

Starting at the bottom of the hill by the river
50 squats - run up the hill and back
50 lunges - run up the hill and back
50 kettlebell DLs - run up the hill and back
50 kettlebell swings - run up the hill and back
50 kettlebell high-pulls - run up the hill and back
50 pop-squats (this KILLED me) - run up the hill and back
50 push-ups (25-10-10-5) - run up the hill and back

Can't judge who was faster than who because we had to share the kettlebells on a couple of rounds.

Post-WOD hill-running relay[/B]:

3 females - 5 laps up and back each
2 males = 6 laps up and back each

Hmm...let's see - the women had to run 15 laps and the men had to run 12 - Gee...I wonder how that turned out? Even though we had a longer rest between laps, there was NO WAY that we could make up a 3-lap differential. We didn't have a prayer but we ran our backsides off anyway.

Did modified "Grace" w/100lbs.
30 full squat clean and jerks for time without dropping the weight.
My time: 16:33
5 minutes slower than the last time I did it. I felt peculiar today. No drive, even after a rest day yesterday.
