My brother and his wife were visiting, her first trip to MT! So we did the ultimate tourist thing, water rafting! I hadn't done this before, it was so much fun!!! I am in the purple on the right, Kimberly is across from me and Michael right behind her.

10 Rounds for time
200m Run
8 "Heavy" KB Swings 24KG
10 Wall Ball 14#/10 ft target

26:50

bleeeeeeeeeeeeech! I did this at 6:30pm on a 90 something degree day. As you may know, I am not fond of running. I also have no endurance during wallballs, or in general. KB's I just don't like because they are always hard 8 or 80, 24kg or 12kg they suck the life force from me so I can't do anything else.


The first picture is the reason for the second picture. Classy!

5 Rounds for time10 Pistols
5 HSPU20 Situps

10:21

Used 20" box for pistols. Right leg rocks at pistols, left leg is stiff and feels like a bag of gravel instead of muscle, at least during pistols. There is some angry tissue in there. HSPU i can't seem to get the bottom inch without a kip so I used no abmat and tried to kip as little as possible. By round 5 I used an abmat for my last 2, I just couldn't get past them. Next time I am going to use bands and put my hands on weights so I can build strength in the extra range of motion.

10 Rounds for time
10 Push Press 65#
10 Burpees

5:55

I did my first two rounds of push press unbroken. 65# wasn't easy but is one of my strengths, burpees I am not too shabby at either. Next time 75#.

We have a sick sense of humor in my family, even if you marry in, we convince you to publicly take dumb pictures.

Fran and a Rant

I'm still running around busy as usual and not really training. I have been having trouble in my front squats. The right side of my back feels like its about to blow when I hit 195# in sets of three. The first one goes alright but the next two are frightening. I haven't gone up in weight for fear I will really pull something. Plus its really hard! I am pretty sure I have done over 205# for three to five. But I also thought that was on vimeo but I guess that was only like 165# or 175# so maybe I really haven't done sets at 205. Hmmm. I set a max pullup record. Old record was like 11 or 12, got 16 the other day. I think I could have done more if I regripped a little better but I lost it and fell off. I am still horrible at pullups. And finally I attempted "Fran" today (21-15-9 reps of 65# thrusters and pullps for time) I was dreading this. I can't even remember the last time I did this I think it has been over 6 months but I know my time was 6:46. I was hop...

This was AWESOME!

I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself.  Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing.  So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh  I wish I had pointed my toes.  The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop.  You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again....
