Woke up feeling nauseous. I dropped Doug a text to say I’d be skipping training this morning, dropped Claire and Fee off and headed into work with the intention of making some headway on the iPhone apps design review.
Work was nothing but seasickness. ‘I’m going home right after I [insert task here]‘ until 1pm, then [...]

Notes
Not an easy one by a long shot, but it felt manageable. Doug gave it everything and breakfast threaten to come back at him. My efforts encourage and cue [...]

Saturday & Sunday: Rest.
Monday: Giardia!
Tuesday: Fixed, thanks to nuclear powered antibiotics. I now have an awful taste in the back of my mouth.

“Karen”
150 dumbbell thrusters @ 10 kg DBs (Rx: wall ball @ 9kg ball)
Time: 11:32
Notes
Went for DB thrusters at 10kg each with the idea that it would make it more like throwing and catching. It didn’t. Shoulder burn-out kept things from getting overly metabolic and the legs were fine the whole time. BB thrusters still seem [...]

Notes
Hard to know exactly how to pace early on. It’s easy to look at the notation for these workouts and think they’ll be very quick, and they are compared to a lot of [...]

Notes
Perhaps the ‘easiest’ Crossfit workout ever. The double unders keep things moving, but even at a sprint there’s a rythm that keeps it managable. Situps are the rest, and there’s more rest [...]

Bike
After a week off…
TT to Neil’s house and back
CFE: 40km time trial.
Notes
My place to Neils – and back – route as prescribed by the Garmin. Crazy back roads on the way there. Crazy misdirection and second guessing the machine on the way home. Possibly themost convoluted route ever, and because of the backtracking and slowing [...]

Feeing pretty drained from the race, the carb binge and the interrupted sleep. Claire is getting her canine teeth and waking up about 20 minutes after we go to bed (no matter when that is), and somewhere between 4:30 and 6am, without any intent of returning to sleep until morning nap time.
The contrast between the [...]
