So We Begin Again

These new Rowers are AWESOME!

Friday (February 20) – The streak is over!!??!?!!!

For the first time since November 2012, I have ‘no showed’ for a class @CrossFitCanuck. I was trying to make it to the Nooner (which is becoming more and more difficult, stupid work) and I got caught up. I looked up and it was 12:07pm… CRAP! Well that sucks, but at least there was no waiting list and I didn’t keep another Canuck from attending. I promise to not make it a habit. 50 Burpees for me.

Warm-up
Row
Gym Run

First WOD trying to get back on track and I aggrevate this stupid knee right out of the gate. I tried to keep going but had to modify Coach Z’s warm-up. Brutal. I cannot wait until i get back from the cruise to get the MRI and figure out once and for all what’s up. There was a lot of challenge lined up with Wall Walks, but since this is my first WOD at the new box, it was all out. Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes, 3 Wall Walks, 4 Shoulder Touches and ME Handstand Hold. I really wanted to go hard and i had some of my best Wall Walks ever. My shoulders were really gassed at the end of the 10 minutes, but it was fun.

21 Thrusters (@95lbs)
21 Strict Pull-ups
25 Hand Release Push-ups
15 Thrusters
15 Chest 2 Bar
25 Hand Release Push-ups
9 Thrusters
9 Pull-ups

Birthday WODs. Seriously. Well that and the fact that i have not been a regular to work out at the box over the last month.  I have been feeling it. Slow and lethargic. Basically, I feel awful. This one was especially difficult after all the shoulder work. I managed to get through it though and finished in 14m54s. The sweat angel looks a lot like me, doesn’t it?

We’ll see how the recovery time is after this, especially since i’m back to the box tonight to finish up Phase 2. EXCITING! When I get back from the cruise, it’s on to the 3rd and final Phase. The new box is an unbelievable facility. There was something I just couldn’t figure out though…

If this isn’t a door, what the heck is it?
With the Open coming, the Throwdown is on deck. @WeLift hosted the Battle of the Pairs 4N4 and I had the honour of judging. It was a long day on my feet, but what a great experience. After a full day, Tavia even have me try the Castro Challenge of the Day. ME Calorie Row for 2 minutes. The benchmark was Jason Khalipa with 78 calories. I came out of the gate and had a perfect first 45 seconds, but it was too fast and i was too zonked from the day, 63 calories in 2 minutes.
