This was us, not pointed at home and visiting Kitchener…
I am so happy to be back home! I think…
I met some really awesome folks, had some
great times (relearned how to 5-pin bowl, @LeighNaturkach would be proud),
pulled my glute playing badminton (it’s hard work being a winner) and had the
worst customer service (provided by @AirCanada). Thanks to Everyone we got to
visit, to those that we stayed with (Thank You), those we partied with and
those that I got to meet for the very first time (and I think the West liked
me!).

I did miss my bed and somehow I managed to
forget one of the big lessons from @CrossFitCanuck, don’t miss WODs for 10 days
in a row (followed closely by birthday WODs will be the death of me). I tried
to find time to hit up a box in Calgary, but scheduling didn’t work out. So
tonight it was back to work…

Warm-up
3 Rounds of
4 Twisting Lunges
3 Burpees
10m Sprint
MAT Pectoral Activation
MAT Ankle Activation
MAT Lat Activation
Today we started with or Muscle-up work for
12 minutes. I didn’t finish it all before the time ran out, but I got 3×8
Strict Pull-ups (Purple Band), 1×8 Deficit Pull-up and 10 Ring Rows. I was a
little gassed, but looking forward to the next section, because for the first
time since Texas, my knee wasn’t killing me. There were lots of reps again 10,
8, 6, 6 and 6+ and @CADPRO00 and I were teamed up. For the last set I finished
up with 10 reps @170lbs. There were a couple of reps where the knee twinged,
but Coach Z kept and eye on my form and it was ok.

Elizabeth (15 minute CAP)
21 – 15 – 9 Reps of
Squat Cleans (@135lbs)
Ring Dips (Purple)
Now I seem to remember doing Elizabeth (but
I can’t seem to find my time), but for sure I was doing it at 95lbs, not in a
proper Squat Clean and using a Blue Band.
Today I was working at RX weight, in a Squat Clean and down to a Purple
Band. After all of the Squats today, I
was worried. Really worried. We started off and I linked 5 Squat Cleans out of
the gate. They felt really good and I just kept chipping away. Got a handy tip
on my pull and managed to get through this benchmark WOD in 13m32s. BAM!

Now sadly I had to bail on the Cash-out of
Shoulder Walks, but such is the state of my body on Day 1 back. I promise not to make a habit of it,
especially since Tavia is breaking out the calipers on me again in 7 weeks time.
Don’t think it just stops there. The training program is almost complete for my
shot at the Rowing championships. Tavia wants to take 1 full minute off my best
2000m time of 7m06s (post WOD). I can’t wait to get started.
