Matt Lawson did dead hang C2B throughout.  Tough!

 

Ragnar Trail

/

Today is the Ragnar Trail and I am laid up with some sort of funk apparently caught between here and the Bahamas.  I have never had to back out of a race, event or challenge due to sickness.  I have had injuries that prevented me from competing but never sickness. 

I had to leave my team without runners and I feel really bad about it.  However, I feel worse about the congestion in my chest and intense coughing spells.

I hope that my team will rally and have a great time.  I am sorry that I could not be there.

Run/ Nancy

/

Yesterday we did an old favorite and one of the most effective CrossFit benchmark workouts of all time: Nancy

Run 400 m

15 OHS @ 95 pounds

x 5 rounds

I finished within 3 seconds of my PR which was in 2010 on flat ground.  We now run on a big hill.  I found this to be very inspiring for my progress.

12:41 Rx yesterday

Today, we ran 5k and did a max set of pull ups any style.

Our 5k is a little longer than an actual 5k.  I think it comes in at 3.31 miles rather than 3.1

24:11

then max set of deadhangs

15

 

Spring Break

/

I traveled down to the Bahamas last week with the family so I could show them what is cool about flyfishing for bonefish, conch diving and lobster diving.

They saw it pretty clearly

And I managed to catch a tailing Mutton Snapper which was a very cool catch for me since we dont have them in Key West on the flats anymore.

Most of the workouts were wading after these fish, but I did manage to hit up a couple of my favorite travel/beach workouts

#1 Deck of Cards

#2 50 yard suicide sprints with 10 burpees on one side, 10 pushups on the other x 10 rounds

#3 1000 pushups

Then, when I returned last night, I saw this on the board

Morrison

50-40-30-20-10

Wall Balls

Box Jumps

KB Swings @ 53

for time

So I grabbed this guy in the middle

And hit it alone this morning.  It was a wonderful way to get back into the swing (no pun intended) of things and get my body moving heavy stuff again.

I finished in 24:05 but felt as though I might have gone a little faster had I been with friends...those who are in shape and can push me.

Glad to be back...now it is time to hit the turkey hunting!
