This was a solid well rounded workout and I was starving and tired by the end, took me 2-ish hours.  Complexes were great practice.  My shoulders are still pretty tight from the weight vest workout (probably more the push ups than pull ups).  I had a terrible time HS walking in my warm up.  DL's felt solid.  The one minute HS holds were a push, arms are just worn out, and I think the combo with the lever hold was spicy.  EMOMs felt great.  Thanks!

Workout:

Outdoor day

Mountain biking, 3 hours


This was an epic day for me.  I had so many breakthroughs on technical stuff.  I also fueled perfectly and felt great on the climbs.  Best ride of the season thus far.  I'm really learning to maintain my speed through the corners and go over the bigger rocks/roots with ease.  I passed 17 people on the climb and what was better- was passed by no one!  So fun.  Thanks!

Swimming felt great for my sore body.  My glutes and lats are still sore and tight since the ski erg workout and leg day.  I really felt some burning in my right shoulder swimming and lats/shoulder stretch while arms were extended on the kick board.  Flip turns started out pretty funny and uncoordinated but after 5-6 attempts I was able to swim toward the wall, take a big breath, make the turn and take a stroke.  My problem is keeping my nose clear and not end up on the pool floor after I push off.  

The snatch wod was easier than the C and J.  I failed one clean by getting to loose in the bottom.  I did all doubles on the CTB and went unbroken on the HSPUs.  The 10 min amrap was so hard.  Pull ups and push ups with that weight vest blew my mind!  I have so so so much respect for the athletes that did that at the games a few years back.  I could have made my vest lighter I guess, but either way, I'm sure it's hard.  Push ups I had to do as doubles most of the way.  Jogging felt great in the lovely weather.  Feeling good.  Brother unexpectedly is in town this weekend so got this done so I can hang with him tomorrow.  Life is just so busy right now but also very good.  Thank you!

I watched some ski erg technique videos and did my best to mimic them.  I added the video so you could let me know if you see anything I should fix before it becomes a bad habit.  It's a fun new challenge.  I enjoyed it.  I have no idea how fast 'i should' be going and that was kinda liberating.  I did feel some fatigue going into the pull ups and hspu's, not bad though.  The HS walking went great the first round and tough the last round just do to muscle fatigue.  So good to be back on track.  Thanks!

Mountain biking, 2.5 hours



I could describe how derailed the weekend got but I doubt it would be super interesting.  Part of the problem was being up all night at work friday.  But...the good news is- I was recovered and had a great ride on Monday.  Legs felt way stronger than last thursday, as did my lungs.  Looking forward to a good training sesssion this evening.  Thanks!

Workout:

Granite Games Qualifier #5

3 RFT, 15 minute cap:

50 foot HS walk (minimum 5 feet at a time)
18 CTB
50 foot Dbl DB front rack walking lunge with 35's

13:05

Soooo satisfied to have finished this one.  I think the ticket for me was being able to do 5 foot sections on the HS walk.  I didn't even try for 10's, just did quick 5's.  The CTB was where I spent most of my time.  I had the first round done in 3:40.  Thanks!
