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.

15 BJ's
12 Push Presses @ 115#

*** completed 3 rounds + 6 TTB's
Going into the WOD I was sure that I would struggle even finishing the first round since I had never done more than 3 TTB (toes to bar) at any one time.  I hadn't attempted these in 6-8 weeks, so the fact that I did a total of 33 in one WOD was jaw dropping!

Short Interval Run - 32min - 8:15pm
Treadmill
wu: 10min ladder
main: 4 x 400 on 7:30/mile with 2min rests
cd: 4min

Score = total number of sit-ups.  *** mine was 58 (and although my double unders are finally getting better and more consistent, I wasn't able to hit 20 per minute, so all of these sit-ups came in the Odd minutes).
