Apr 27 - Crossfit Swimming!! FUN

Eeek...my swimming technique has gone to shit! Very inefficient in the water. I will definitely do a lot more swimming WODs.  My heart-rate averaged 151. Water is still pretty chilly, but you get used to it pretty fast. Once the WOD ends, though, not really too fun to just hang out in the water..got cold fast.  It's nice to have whole pool to myself, though.

Take that you stupid legs!  I was pretty sore from the deadlifts two days ago, so I wasn't sure how this morning would go. Legs actually feel better than when I showed up, which is a nice surprise.

Man, i've been on my feet all day. I'm sacked and my feet are very tired! We did a meet and greet at Petco with the Austin German Shepherd Rescue - our foster Mia made a LOT of new friends.  Then we had to go shopping, clean house etc. I should have worked out early, but didn't. Now I have company coming...oh well, I can double down tomorrow!

The thing with using old computers that used to be for work rather than buying a new one is that they often suck! Anyway, I have the machine back up and running. Blogging from my phone is a pain, so forget that!  I'll just post the pertintet things over the last few days...

Apr 6 - Exposed weakness

Exposing a weakness in your fitness game is something that CrossFit WODs sure are happy to do for you. I would imagine everyone has one. Some of us more than one (a lot more). One of things I dread seeing on the white-board is overhead squats (OHS).  I know any time I see them that it's going to be a long day. I don't dread them like burpees or rounds of running, but because I have such a hard time with it due to my lack of flexibility, which is frustrating to say the least.  I just have to work on it more....can't ignore things and hope they improve, right?

Apr 2-4 - A crazy busy weekend. How will this week go?

This is how you have to "dress" to comfortably dive in water that is just barely in the 50s. It sure is a lot of extra gear, work, and so on, but diving cold isn't any fun at all.  I'm definitely looking forward to summer's higher water temps. That said, the "good" viz is when the water is colder... what would you prefer: cold and better viz or warm and less viz?
