i met keith (coach panda) at my level one course a month ago and just had to get this!
friday was 14.4 - a 14:00 AMRAP chipper that involved rowing for 60 calories, 50 toes to bar, 40 wallballs, 30 power cleans and 20 muscle ups. i was happy to get through the toes to bar - my forearms were fried!! i also managed to get through the wallballs, despite getting no repped at least 8 times for not hitting the wall or not getting it high enough. and then i busted thru 13 power cleans for a total score of 163. i was happy with that, but prolly could have done better if i'd broken up the toes to bar. oh well!
saturday i went into palgrave for a sweeet 90 minute stomp! and yes, we'd had MORE fucking snow, but it was pretty regardless ...
sun peaked out right at the end ...
kool sky ...
i didn't really feel like training on sunday, but i couldn't justify just showing up and going for breakfast 2 weeks in a row. so i went and threw a bit of weight around, did some handstand push-ups, and a few squats, and figured i was good! we even dragged our favorite little asian out - raaaaaaaaaaaaaandy ! hay, wait a minute, now that i think of it, kathy just showed up for breakfast ...
and THIS is the reason jason p looks so tired - her name is erica and she's the first little addition to the puopolo family! congrats to him and adele - she's beautiful!
after breakfast i did a shortie in palgrave. little chilly but it was gorgeous!
well, i've gone and done it again - the emails went like this the other day between me and derrick ...
me: "um, okay, so here's what i did ... don't start yelling ... i put myself on the waitlist for fatdog 100(120) but gave them the option of bumping me down to 70 ...
argh! i HAD to commit to something and this kept coming to me."
D: "...Hahaha….what took you so long??" Just got your other email that you were almost ready to commit to a 70, and then…..BAM! 120 baby! Only 5th on the waiting list. You’ll get into the 120 for sure."
me: "whadoyya mean i'm only 5th on the waiting list???? where the fuck did you see that ???!!! fuck !!!!"
me: "krap! you're lovin this, aren't you ???"
D: "teehee……..yerp!"
me: "you're lucky you live way over there, else i'd come and throw tires at your house"
D: "Haha…truth is, I think you’re loving this too and is exactly what you need right now! You’ll be amazing!"
me: "you know what, i've been sitting on the fence for awhile. i think i needed this. i need a purpose ... thank you for your patience. now let the games begin ...
fek!"
so ya, come august, i'm hoping to be ready to try and run 120 miles through the mountains of british columbia! and naturally i had to try and get my super duper mountain friend leslie to pace me. this conversation went as follows ...
and finally, me and policeman dave decided to redo 14.4 on monday - him wanting to get thru the power cleans, and me just wanting to pace myself better and maybe get a few more reps. when the chalk had settled and i fell on the floor, i had bettered my score by 8 for a grand total of 171! and dave, well holy krap, he managed to squeak out the dirtiest muscle up EVER! no matter though, it counted and he got an impressive 181 ! outstanding!! thanks to everyone who screamed at us and kept us going!!
kathy is crushing it again this year, even with her whining about being out of shape and 30 pounds overweight! she came through with a very impressive score of 186 and currently stands 3rd in the women's 40-44 age category in eastern canada! i thought this outfit was quite appropriate ...
so one more workout and we're done. and i can really focus on fatdog! wahoo!!! oh ya, does anybody have a tractor tire i can borrow ...
