been back in for a couple of sessions since lockdown ended. plus a bunch of manual labor on the weekend. very sore but going tonight becuase i just need to get some consistency happening. have missed it

Two day competition on the weekend. Same sex pairs. 8 workouts over the 2 days. It’s a beachside event so lots of running and swimming. Also a kayak workout which I’ve never done in my life so should be interesting.

 

[raskolnikov]

So, as well as having to deal with kayaking for the first time a colleague told me yesterday that there have been crocodile sightings in that area. FMD. I may just forfeit that workout.

 

[raskolnikov]

Good weekend. The kayak was fun and not particularly strenuous. We had to do a 2km beach run which wasn't fun. I also got a new thruster rm (85kg).

awkward... it's a "stirring the pot" GIF

 

[raskolnikov]

That photo does make me look a bit fat but I think it's just the way I'm arching my back or something. I've actually got visible abs.

This is from the workout description.

Rask the machine!

 

[raskolnikov]

The air bike is the worst thing ever invented. Whoever invented that should be jailed for life.

 

[raskolnikov]

Did this workout today. Was insane. After 5 minutes I was wanting it finished.

 

[raskolnikov]

2 competitions coming up over the next two weekends. The Elite Fitness League in Rockhampton next weekend and The CQ Classic in Gladstone the weekend after . The Elite Fitness League is a same-sex pairs comp. The CQ Classic a mixed-pairs comp.

 

[raskolnikov]

3rd out of 8 teams in the Masters division after day 1. 3 workouts today. The third workout was absolutely brutal. 3 rounds. One minute rest between rounds.

1st rd: 5 minutes - 18 power snatches @ 60 kg between us, 18 pull ups between us, and in the remaining time max synchro burpees over the bar.
2nd rd: 4 minutes - 14 power snatches @ 60 kg between us, 14 pull ups between us, and in the remaining time max synchro burpees over the bar.
3rd rd: 10 power snatches @ 60 kg between us, 10 pull ups between us, and in the remaining time max synchro burpees over the bar.

It's seriously shit doing a minute of burpees, looking up at the clock and seeing that you still have 2 minutes of burpees left.

Did this today.



I did it in 6:09. I did 100 regular Double Unders.

raskolnikov sorry if I have asked this before but my shoes are on the way out - what crossfit shoes do you recommend? I do crossfit 3 or 4 times a week and run between 5 and 10 km most off days as well - prefer just the one set

Did this workout today.



Finished in 33:24. I'm finding that running is the biggest thing I'm struggling with as I get older. Especially in the 10am Central Queensland sun. Took me just under 15 minutes to do the 2.4km. The rough breakdown of the workout was

Row: 11:15
Double Unders 1:35
Run:14:45
Double Unders: 2:15
Bike: 3:35
