Last time we did this I thought I reached the max weight I could use with the equipment I have, well not if you improvise…..

465 straped on

Well I just missed getting it up but at least now I have something to work towards knowing that I haven’t lifted all my garage has to offer!

Oh and yesterday’s Helen, which was in a driving wind the day after a brutal FGB, I wasn’t expecting to break any records but I got 13:03 with unbroken swings and pull-ups. The running did me in.

UGGGHHHHH, man this kicked my a$$ today.  Energy was not an issue, it was purely my inability to breath and consume adequate oxygen to power myself, kinda sounds like energy….  I started off strong actually paced myself to predetermined levels in order to aim for 300, I had quit early on the Wall Ball SDHP and Push Press during the first round.  My row went good but for some reason I started to hit a wall, that 1 minute rest did not allow me to get control of my breathing.   There was an option to sign up as a team, this would be three individuals each doing a single round.  I seriously think if I did this as part of a team I could have gotten close to 150 that first round….

 The day didn’t fair so well for Ann either, after she smoked through the first round getting 113 and keeping close pace on the first 3 exercises of round 2 right before push presses pukie paid her a visit and she was down for the count…  We both look back and use the excuse of recent lack of sleep after our youngest got her tonsils out, but as stated “excuse”. 

Good news was we saw my guy Lou H. there.  Lou and I went to high school together, we didn’t just go to the same school nor were we best friends but we were always cool with each other and hung out on occasion.  So once graduation came and went in ‘94 we never kept in touch.  Funny thing is last year in the spring I was looking for some data on the stairs at a toboggan run by us, swallow cliff, where Ann and I were going to do a workout.  When I googled it I came across this site, Trinity Training Group.  The name of the guy who ran the site sounded familiar so I dropped him an email.  Low and behold it was Lou from back at Providence.  Lou, Ann and I have been having email conversations since.  Today was the first time Lou and I have actually seen each other since graduation in ‘94.  Lou is looking good and it showed in the 284 performance he cranked out today.

Food for the day, not the best but not horrible…

OK the wind was just way too damn cold tonight. I have ran in colder however after yesterdays 50 degrees, it feels worse. I kinda needed the rest though especially with FGB tomorrow on what was a scheduled rest day.

Food for today was a little low. Lenten season makes lunch time a bit harder…

Today was an new WOD for me, I guess it was last done in ‘04 so… The pull-ups surprisingly were not too bad, a little rough after doing the lunges in the rain though. The last 2 sets of lunges were hurting and actually started winding me for some reason, I think I was doing half lunges in double time so I could get out of the rain quicker.
