This one was brutal for me physically – shoulder tweak in round one caused me to switch to pushups. I also had some mental gremlins but I fought them off, crashed the car in the last round, then crashed the car practicing Ride of the Valkyries on trombone. Thanks to CFF I’m a better trombonist!:-)

Well then, WOD. Well then, blog. Erika says Hi! She thinks I’ve “been on the blog for 40 minutes.” Word.

FS: 55kg, ran out of time! Goal is to break 60 kg next time!
WOD: 8:31…started out at 40kg and then a couple of clowns changed my weight without me even knowing it! 35kg was dandy. Dandy like Mandy.

Those damn handstand push ups were tough and killed my pace.

Two big things though: all signed up for the Garage Games in Providence, scaled of course! And, got 3 deadhang pull ups. Whoot.

FS: 85kg (PR by 5)

WOD: 11:58 RX. Erica has hooked me on the 24kg KB. FS were unbroken. First round of HSPU were unbroken and unkipped. They were a mess thereafter. Need to practice these!

FS – 135kg

WOD – 9:59 @60kg and 1 then 2 ab mats. First round burn out seems to be the theme for today’s posts. I’m no exception.

Awesome! I bet I know her, and I bet she is unusually good at getting a heavy object from the floor to an overhead shelf. It’s a surprisingly physical job, except for the times when you end up writing metadata for eight hours at a go.

You know, when I read this blog entry, I SWORE that Mandy wrote it purely in response to my occasional whining on the blog about my performance during lifts/WODs. She denied it.. but I’m not soooo sure.

FS: 105Kg
WOD: 12:09 @60kg – Scaled HSPUs. But I did learn a very important thing: hand placement on HSPUs is absolutely CRITICAL. After going through my first round unbroken, the second round felt impossible. But I figured out that my hands were much too close to the wall. An adjustment make the HSPUs feel much, much better.

I’m also an idiot, since for rounds 2 and 3, I did 15 front squats instead of the prescribed 12. Pay attention!
