Where did the weekend go?





This weekend has gone by way too fast. This is the first moments I've had to sit down and relax...and it's 7:30 on Sunday night! :( Lame. Maybe this blizzard we are supposed to have will make work close and I'll have a day off...I can only hope. Even though it was a busy weekend it was a bunch of fun.

Saturday started off with Oly lifting and K-Tuck and I decided to work on the clean and jerk. I was really looking to get a good PR since I haven't worked these movements in awhile. So I started off light working on form and trying to get low on the split jerk. I have a tendency to have a very shallow split so I need to work on that. My final attempts for a PR was 55kg. The first 2 I completed the clean, but couldn't get the Jerk over head. I went for one last try and successfully complete the clean and Jerk. I was pretty happy with a 3 kg PR.


Then we moved onto Team Saturday and I was teamed up with Ryan Fain and Kim. The workout was:

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Burpees Body Rows
Rest (start 1:00 after the slowest team)
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Ball Slams Sit ups

I don't remember our times exactly, but I remember we did pretty well. Kim and Ryan were great partners to work with. I really tried to go with some major intensity throughout all the movements. I went unbroken for all the movements and really gave it my all. I'm glad this team Saturday wasn't a complete killer, my body needed a little break.

After team Saturday was our Paleo Breakfast. I love when we have these gatherings so I can see everyone and have more time to talk with everyone. Or see people I normally don't get a chance to see. I helped make the eggs and then finally got a chance to eat and I consumed a lot. haha. Then I decided to make an attempt at the 100m row and PR on that, I came out with an 18.8 second row...I think if I wasn't full of so much food I could go a little faster...maybe I'll make an attempt this week.


Last night I went out with Jer and his family for his birthday. Went to Outback for dinner and I got a nice 12oz prime rib with a sweet potato and veggies. Then we went to the Rockford Icehogs game. I love sports, so it was nice to go to a game, even though it wasn't the Blackhawks!


Today we went out to CrossFit Carbon's grand opening event. I decided not to WOD it up today to give my body rest. So I just counted for a lot a people and that just wore me out. It was nice to see a bunch of people from different boxes and see how everyone matches up. Gets me excited for some Games competitions! :) Anyway, food wasn't terrible this weekend, but not great. More paleo treats than necessary so a bit of a carb overload and I'm kind of feeling it now. So back on track tomorrow! Night loves!
