it is hard to explain why I love the water and the ocean; maybe its my attraction from my upbringings and the harshness of it on the east coast, who knows...what I do know is this; taking time for reflection is imperative(Hannah and I mixing shadows at Laguna Beach today)

OPT,
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of water in Vancouver for you. Housing prices are a little out of whack but there is lots of ocean. Alberta snow storm in May.. life is too short.
See you in a few weeks.
Jason "Rumble"
OPT I dont know why you said that about reflection, but it is just what I needed to hear!
ReplyDeleteThe stresses of work, family and still having to train through does take its toll!
Also, just to let you know I am working hard in my little barn full of home made equipment up here in the Highlands of Scotland, following your wods on my own day in day out....thank you!
Littleredhead- these little barns full of homeade equipment out in the country and quiet areas are producing monsters of fitness with this programming...its scary to see what "monster" will be showing up to the games this year, that was training out of a little barn filled with homeade equipment....that is why i love this sport...

completed the row in 9:25. not a good idea to do w/ 10 mins rest but that was the only way for me to get it done today.

That is a power clean PR for me so I am very happy with that - my Split still needs a lot of work, having a 7'1" wingspan on a 6'2 body is awkward for jerking. I end up getting it within like 3-4inches of lockout and pressing the rest, makes consecutive reps very difficult.

notes on part 1:
-1 rep away from 6 rounds on pc,sj wod, need to bend back leg more.
-i was very happy with 50 reps on pistols, right hip much more flexable and stronger since last time doing these, therapy is helping.
-burpee, pullups, fast easy, not even gassed.
-500m row, strong for only 10 min rest.
Haha thanks lisa!

Still a little tentative with the knee on the spit jerks and had to go really slow with the pistols but felt ok it is now aching so i will go ice and take my supplements and rest up for the row. And friggin pecs are killing me from my stellar bench pressing yesterday - but totally worth it!!
Keep pushing Nathan you ROCK!!

ReplyDeleteCrash n burned on last part. Worked hard, though.
Give 'em hell this weekend, Dawgs!!
My word is 'incal' which is where all the action is!
Lisa M -
ReplyDeleteBIG congrats on your 170# BP - thats insane! Nice work.
I was lucky to get home just in time to watch Joey's performance with Barber on his right. I'm not sure what the rules are for that floater but he beat Barber by like 5-10 seconds. Keep it up dawgs!

ReplyDeleteI skipped the C&J. I tried a few and my left shoulder was on FIRE.Think I may have tweaked it from Bench press and all the shoulders stuff last week. I did not want to really injure it so I pulled the plug, glad I did. Pistols felt good:) and burpee pullups were fine.
1 hr rest before part 2:
11:27
Did not do this properly at all, thanks for the help Mizar, next time I will be on the ball. I felt good at the end and at least I got a new PR for my 500m row which was my 100% row at the very end, haha. Did it in 2min 08 sec, old pr was 2min 14 sec. Will be cool to see what it is without 2000m done before.
Melissa C,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you wrote me to ask to train together :( My friend told me at training today, I did not look back at the blog after I wrote on it the other day so I must have missed it, so sad. Next time you are in Montreal or Ottawa we will train forsure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep it going Joey & Nathan. Colin, don't let up. Things can change in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteDay one here in Sweden at the European Regionals is over and from the staffs point of view I got to see some Dawgs compete.
ReplyDeleteCorbin sits at 17th after the first 3 events after having a tough time with third WOD involving 10x10m 80kg overhead carry, and Jenny Jacobsen is in 6th, battling back after a hard first event (2,4km run).

37 Reps

Notes:
VERY happy with part 1. Wanted 8 rounds and thought I was shooting high but ended up with 10! Did 2 rounds in a row then 5 breaths before putting my hands on the bar again, then single rounds with 5 breaths.
FIRST PISTOLS EVER! Never been able to do pistols before and finally got them today! I was nice and warm so I think that played a large factor. Anyways, would have been happy with just 2 reps. Right leg is stronger for sure. Failed about 5 times on my left.
Wanted 7 rounds but I'm ok with 6.
Diet has changed over this past week and I'm certain it has lead to this results, very happy. Part 2 later tonight.

Super happy with today. I unfortunately had to take a week off because I had gotten sick and then this week I was working 2 jobs and not at home from 6am to 10pm. I think that was good though.. I was just itching to get back to the gym.
110# was my 1RM for split jerk, and I managed 5 rounds at 110! I'm ecstatic.
I have always done pistols to a target because I don't have control at the bottom and today they were all full ROM, ass to ankles, no target. yes!
I struggled a little with gauging my efforts on the rower.. I dislike the rower greatly and for some reason always feels like a lot of effort (haw-haw).. probably underestimated today.
sorry for the long post but I needed to happy dance. thanks Coach!

your floater wod time that you put up here is great but not posted at the games. what's up? kill it tomorrow man. just go kill it.
Looks like today was my turn to feel like crap :( Never felt like this before and it's really not a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteI started the first part of the workout and stopped after only 4 minutes (did 4 sets). Had no energy, wasn't there mentally and I was not able to concentrate.
I felt the same way at work during the last week. I hope next week will be better!
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend!

The 2nd 90% sucked, definitely wasn't 90%. Last 500 felt decent, really push hard though the last 250m.
Ken c,
ReplyDeleteI think theyre inputting scores backwards. And because I was in the first heat my score is being inputted last lol. Lame. I think ill be in 12th overall.
No part 2
ReplyDeleteHaven't been eating and sleeping well last couple days no energy for part 2 today. Need to get things in order.
I just want to say that Colin Jenkins, Joey Warren, and Nathan Holiday all kicked some serious butt today. It was fun to watch the big dawgs compete against such a talented crew of CrossFitters from Cali. Nathan had the words "unbroken" written in huge letters across his back which looked pretty mean. Not sure of their overall finish bc I think they are still uploading times. Here is the link however to the scores. http://scores2010.crossfit.com/scoring/p/127/
