I watched some of it. Patrick Vellner is amazing. 31 years old and still killing it. I loved the Bayside Chipper WOD. I hope they program that at our gym one day. It looks awesome.

nice little session this morning

i actually PB'd on push press unexpectedly which was nice. hopefully can do it again next week going for a 1RM

didnt go home and throw up after the metcon which is a relief. been running again on off days so hopefully back into it all now and can focus on getting consistent and making some progress

 

[revival_mode]

metcons this week have been awesome. just a bunch of my favorite moves

tonight's is just run and row. wont be surprised if I'm the only one who turns up lol

 

[raskolnikov]

Did Murph again on the weekend. Because of a sore shoulder I only did ring rows rather than pull ups though.

A friend of mine has made it to the CrossFit Games in the teams division. Stoked for her. She's worked so hard.

I changed boxes recently. A few months ago the owner of the one I was going to sacked the head coach in order to cut costs and took on the coaching himself. The head coach was a popular guy and good coach, whereas the owner is not in that great a shape. Quite a few people left and went to the rival box immediately. But since then there has been a steady stream of people changing over until there is hardly anyone left at the old one and my current one is full to the brim. I feel sorry for the owner of the old box. He's not a bad guy. In fact I'd say he's a really nice guy. But he made a terrible decision that's probably going to cost him his business.

yeah look they might get someone good in which would be great
theres only one CF gym in my town unfortunately. i used to go to the one the next town over - half hour drive each way though which is owned/run by the same people and was a great set up so thats always an option as well i guess
the one here is a lot smaller and tbh i dont know how its going business wise but the other trainer is super new and not that great yet

Was meant to do a qualifying comp for the mixed pairs division in The Masters Games this weekend. But unfortunately I was struck down with the dreaded virus this week and had to withdraw. Disappointing and hated letting my partner down. She was very good about it though.

 

[raskolnikov]

Had my first workout today after 3 weeks off with covid. Surprisingly went OK.

Pretty much. I don't think the workouts on the last day suited his strengths. I also think his tank was completely empty. The Russian guy, Roman Khrennikov, is a beast.
