Nate @ CFD

Warm-up: rowing, dynamic stretching

Technique: some barbell work. I did cleans and got up to 3 x 95#. A PR?

WOD: Nate
AMRAP in 20:
2 Muscle-ups (very assisted)
4 Handstand Push-ups (fairly shallow)
8 44# (20 kg) Kettlebell swings

I completed 15 rounds.

Weird workout... not sure I got much out of the muscle-up stuff.

I'm back after three days (Sunday - Tuesday) of complete rest. I had a headcold and was feeling generally run-down. Hopefully I'll be good to go now!

Jell-O Arms @ CrossFit Davis

AMRAP in 20 minutes:
15 push-ups
12 dips (hands on bench, feet on box)
9 push presses (65#)

I did 7 rounds. Uf da, this was a tough one! I really had to focus on steering my bike on the way home... my arms are worn out!

Tabata Something Else

4 tabatas:
Burpees: 7 6 6 6 6 6 7 6 = 50
Push-ups: 7 7 8 8 8 8 9 9 = 64
Sit-ups: 7 7 8 8 8 9 8 9 = 64
Squats: 17 17 17 19 20 18 20 20 = 148

I tried to pace myself on these and to go for consistency instead of killing myself on the first 2-3 sets. I got higher scores on push-ups and squats than in the past, but I should have pushed harder on sit-ups.

Some tossing with Scott & Bethany before & after the workout.

Night Train

Night Train practice. For some reason, I was really tired, mentally & physically. Maybe Potlatch is finally catching up to me? I felt like I was lumbering, not sprinting, and playing defense was very very difficult.

Night Train

Great practice tonight. I felt like I was really able to play for the first time in over a week. Not many subs, so I got lots of running in. Fun!

Potlatch Day 3

My body felt good enouch to play, so I borrowed some teammates' cleats and played a few points in both of our games. We lost both times (sigh), but I'm glad I finally got to play.

Before our second game, we had a little acrobatics-off with the other team. Scott and I demonstrated our acroyoga moves (stacked push-ups, etc.), and they demonstrated their gymnastics moves (handstands, walkovers, etc.). Super fun! Ultimate players are so great.

Potlatch Day 2

I did 200 push-ups on the sidelines, and plenty of dancing in a banana costume otherwise.
