About Me

My photo
43yo father of two. Type A, loves to plan, make "todo" lists, and stack things. My heart is on my sleeve. Both sleeves actually. I'm an open book. I favor symmetry. I can't be late for anything. I hate talking politics and religion. I watched the movie “Jaws” when I was much too young (and yes, it still haunts me). I could leap tall buildings in a single bound had I only done more squats and plyometrics as a teen.(Crossfit has me believing that I will one day). For 21 years I hid my mini-battles with OCD, the weirdest obsession revolving around the number “8”, all of which abruptly ended the night of October 27th, 2004. I've never tried an illegal drug, or cigarettes for that matter. People laugh at this, then call me a liar, but it's true. I say "Happy Holidays", not "Merry Christmas". It's the PCness in me I suppose. I leave out the word "God" when I say the Pledge of Allegiance and have so since the 10th grade. I think it has something to do with Separation of Church and State. I prefer sleeping with a night-light. So what? I have one addiction. No wait, two. Actually, three. Ice cream, Crossfit, and triathlon. Yeah, I know, these don't really work together too well.

1/4/13
Crossfit Reclamation - "VICTORIA"  Hero WOD

Victoria” is a hero wod from fallen teacher Victoria Soto who was a first grade teacher in Newtown. She hid her “angels” as she called her students in a closet behind her during the horror that occurred.

5 Rounds for time:
10 x Thrusters (95# / 75#)
14 x Box Jumps (24" / 20")
12 x SDHP (95# / 75#)
12 x Burpees
27 x ‘American’ KB Swing (53# / 35#)

An extremely difficult WOD, I only had time to complete 3 rounds in 26:26 before I had to scoot out of the Box and get on the road to work.  I did the "scaled" version on the weights, but kept my box jumps at 24".


1/5/13
Open Gym
Since I started my "cleanse", and feeling absolutely horrible (I hadn't replenished or recovered since yesterday's Hero WOD), I was quite sore and lacking energy.  I decided to take it easy, hang with some other crossfitters, and get some pointers on some skills that I had been struggling with.
I rowed 1000m then did about 25min of stretching.  I then worked on Double Unders for about 15min, then did a few wall handstands and some oblique ab stuff for about 5min.

That is my week in review.
