Resurrecting this from the dead.

I ended up doing more triathlons in 2017 so knocked the CrossFit on the head. Completed Ironman 70.30 Staffordshire last summer and a few smaller triathlons. Keen to give it a real go and lower my triathlon racing next season to 1 or 2 sprints to keep my hand in but see how the crossfit goes. Been back about 2 weeks, so will use this as a log. Will be making a real concentrated effort with nutrition shortly too.

Went to barbell class last night

Warm Up rowing & snatch tech

Build to 1RM snatch balance a measly 30kg as my mobility is awful at the bottom. First time doing these so plenty to work on.

Build to heavy double snatch (power for me) got to 50kg but was roettt burnt out from the snatch balances.

WU was a pvc pipe game where you react to coaches instructions by moving left or right to catch the next pole plus tech work on push press.

5 x 5 push press finished at 50kg

Wod in pairs 1 on 1 off, 12 mins

10 wall balls
8 step ups
6 DB push Press

Got to 7 rounds and felt good, finally starting to feel better and more mobile, managed to touch my toes in a hamstring stretch which I don’t think I’ve done in years!

First time I’ve made 4 in a week, little things but it all adds up.

WU Row + bar only deadlift hang clean and STOH x 2 rounds

WOD in pairs 18 minutes split as you like

Weight was all at 40kg
20 Hang Cleans
20 STOH
20 Cals
30 etc
40 etc
50 etc

Split everything into 5 reps each on the bar and half the calories on rower. Got to 50 round and 20 hang cleans before we hit the time cap.

Deep burner!!
