KW says: Working mostly on technique. Will add more weight later.


CFE WOD: 3 x 5 minutes

9/26/2009 practice

Light rain to deal with, but the water was great! I did the CFE warmup mixing skill drills and short sprints; I took too long. I'll spend less time on this next time. WOD: 3 x 5 minute pieces with 3 minute rest in between. Aiming for full intensity with the same distance each time. 2nd piece was farther, 3rd was less; I was so wiped out that I had to pause in the middle of the last piece. I did get a cheat because of stopping for a large boat wake during the first piece.:)

Come workout with us!

A while ago, some friends met at our house on a Sunday for a WOD (workout of the day) called 'Fight Gone Bad.'
If you want to know here's a link: 4.3. Explain Fight Gone Bad.

It was great fun, doing Crossfit in a group. So, I thought we'd have a group over to the house, or to the park and do a Sunday Workout.  So far, no takers.  Too this, too that. Busy, out of shape, out of town... I still have hopes, though.  So I'm picking out the easier, less technical workouts for Sunday and making the invite.

This weekend I've got a big piano move on Sunday, so this weekend the Sunday WOD will be on Saturday.  Here's the blurb:

This week's Sunday WOD (workout of the day) will be on Saturday!
3pm, my house. (Link to Google Maps (hope this works): 404 Frue Ave) We're moving a piano on Sunday.


We're going overhead with 3 kinds of presses:
 - Shoulder press
 - Push press
 - Push jerk

After warming up, we'll do this progression:
 - Learning the movements, no weights. (beginning)
 - Adding weight (intermediate)
 - Working into max weights (advanced)
 - WOD (scaled, beginning - advanced)

Don't worry about not being in shape enough for this;
 - You can jump off the progression at any time. Cheer the others on!
  - If you can stick your arms straight up in the air, you can do this! :)

Plans

Kirsten and I decided to end our racing season with last weekends
victories. So what are our plans?
Some more time for mountain biking.
Rowing on the weekends.
Crossfitting.
Prep for Winter; XC skiing and indoor rowing.
Dryland XC drills.
Baseline 2K erg test.

On the blog, I intend to post on erging and Crossfit. I'm leaning
towards using CFE for erg workouts; CF, 2 interval and 1 time trial or
pace work per week. My goals for CFE:
- results. old 2K record 7:43; goal 7:30.
- variety. workouts change week to week.
- avoiding burnout. Last year, I peaked, then plateaued, then got
sick (twice.)
I'm waiting to hear from my rowing coach; we'll see.

Right now, I've got about 10 of you on a list that sends emails of the
blog to you. I'm thinking that if I keep posting, that will clog up
your inbox with email. So, I'm dropping the email list, except for my
coaches. I'd be happy to keep you on the list, of course. If you
still want to get the blogs sent to your email address, send me an
email to cw2345@hotmail.com and I'll keep you on. There's room for 10
email addresses.

Next post coming right up, an invitation to workout with us!

Ciao,

Charles

Pull-up (assisted) x 15 Reps

CW Time: 13:35
Comments: Buttercup scaling, with 45# thrusters and blue band assisted pullups. For intensity, I give myself a B+. Knees - walked the downhills, ran everything else. Next time, thrusters faster. Form was good.

KW Time: 13:00
35#, full kipping pullups!

Yesterday was dryland XC training with Kristina Owens, Pro with CXC Vertical Limit.  Very cool.

ciao,
