Excellent trip to WV.
Lots of gear, anchor, systems, rescue practice.
Ideal climbing conditions with only two or three other people in the park.
Climbed many routes, including Junkward Wall, Team Jesus!

Back to CrossFitting this afternoon.

Warmup
400m shuffle
10 KBS, 10 pushups, 10 situps, 10 air squats
10 KBS, 10 pushups, 10 situps, 10 air squats

WOD (for time)
400m shuffle
50 GTO, 95#
40 jumping pullups
30 ball slams (20#)
20 18" box step ups
300 single unders

BUT, every minute on the minute you had to stop and do 4 burpees. Burpees for me have been scaled to an 18" box. Instead of going all the way to the ground and wrestling my way up (which torques my prosthetics kinda oddly), I drop my hands down onto the 18" box, kick out my legs, do the push up, bring my legs in, stand up and hop.

Total Time: 23:39

RX was 105#, pullups, 35# ball, 24" box jump, 100 double unders

Thursday April 19, 2012

Warmup:
3 miles on mountain bike

WOD 1:
1 mile, on foot, for time.
XIV:XXXII (in roman numerals b/c a sun dial was used to time me...)

WOD 2:
5 rounds, for time, of:
20 step ups onto an 18" box
5 strict pullups
7 toes to bar
9 wall balls (20#)

1110:10001

Need to do some research about getting my feet to turn over faster.
The heart and lungs are willing and able to go faster while on foot, but the legs simply will not move any faster. Perhaps five years of only walking has lead to atrophy of the quick twitch fibers. I don't know. Maybe need to speak to a neurosurgeon about it, or trainer, or someone with experience dealing with my surgeries. It is very frustrating to know how fast the legs should turn over and to see how slowly they actually will turn over. Hands turn over just fine, for example can do wind sprints in the pool and the arm cadence is fine, but the feet and legs just won't move any quicker....:ranting2:

CRG Boulder League 12.5
100 flash
200 flash
200 flash
300 flash
400 flash
500 flash
500 flash
600 flash
700 3+
750 3+
800 DNF
900 Didn't even try it.

I came really close to sending the 800 point problem. I just didn't have enough energy to hold on, and fell off the last hold. Of course Steve flashed it, but no one else was even working it. I actually got the 700 point problem quicker than Steve did, and I had to work out the beta for myself. The 750 point problem was awful. It didn't even pretend to flow. If it wasn't part of the comp, I wouldn't have bothered to finish it.

Saturday 4-21-12

Brutal conditions today, a cold mist and a 15mph cold wind out of the north.

4/21 5k in 38:07, 60% shuffling/jogging, 40% walking (alternating 300 "running" steps with 200 walking steps, then alternating 150 "running" steps with 100 walking steps). It's going to be harder to go much faster than 38:00....

4/14 5k in 39:38, 50% shuffling, 50% walking
4/7 5k in 41:05, 60% walking, 40% shuffling
3/31 5k in 43:53, 70% walking, 30% shuffling
3/24 5k in 47:57, 75% walking, 20% shuffling
3/17 5k in 50:00, 90% walking, 10% shuffling

Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

Climbed at the shed with Jeff, Kent, and Steve. Jeff and I both climbed strong, but Steve crushed. He flashed all but 2 of my problems. Strong kid!
