Life has been busy, and I haven’t even been cooking much. I have been doing my usual exercise thing, more or less, though. I’ve been doing this Crossfit thing for over 2 years now, and I’m now debating what’s next for me. I’m certainly stronger, but my body shape is … weird. In a good way, I guess. Sort of related, am I the only one to notice that the people who design women’s shirts for the Gap don’t believe you should have any upper body strength or something? Just wondering.
Here is November’s workouts. In a few days, I’ll probably post Decembers. Sorry so late.
Only me and one other guy, Scott, opted for the 5K run. My time is a minute or more slower than the previous test. So, most of my benchmarks are worse. Do what you will with that information.
Again, a slower benchmark. But this time it’s because I stupidly tried to do Fran at 65#. Stupid.
Hmm. Though I can’t remember this one, the presence of DUs leads me to believe it wasn’t an easy one for me.
In the original crossfit open version of this, the weight increased with each increase of reps. Such a bad a idea. I don’t remember this one much, but it looks like I was just slightly lower than some of the strong guys in this class. This was the day I then went on a plane to visit my buddies in Chicago (see previous post). Not a great workout to do right before jumping on a plane.
Yeah.
One of my coaches, Jess, has been great at giving me cues to improve my DUs, and it’s sorta kinda beginning to pay off. I still have trouble, but have been stringing more together lately. The most recent observation she made was to slow down my hands since my feet can’t keep up. You’d think maybe I would have figured that one out myself. I didn’t.
Seems like I didn’t take many photos here. I was also out for a number of days, in my (weak defense).
