TriTraining -Bike

Nicole and I hitting the veloway on a bike for the first time in a long, long time... say when my age was in single digits... I'm excited about this goal of doing the Danskin. Run, bike swim... and CrossFit. Did a light ride then back to the CrossFit Central gym for some kettlebell torture thanks to Big Mike... can't lift arms today.

Check a goal off my list for '08 - the Cap 10k. Longest run yet - just over an hour (1.09). Goal was to never stop - never did. Whooooop! Now onto the Danskin Tri Training... CrossFit makes it all possible...

Last Tuesday noon work out - 10, 9, 8... reps count down of thrusters and 1, 2, 3... reps with the much dreaded ab roller - then throw in some 400 meter runs in between sets of 3. Easier than I can explain, but regardless, it put me on the ground afterward. Thanks to Carey for taking this shot - peace, love and CrossFit baby!

Family Affair

Uncle Jeremy giving two giggling toddlers a ride -- or it is 50lb squats? All in good fun before a much tougher Thursday afternoon CrossFit work out...

Second of the fittest games challenges was an amazing experience - watching Crossfitters of all levels push themselves to be their best. The CrossFit community has changed my life and I count myself lucky to have this set of friends who are way cool - I appreciate them letting me hang around - Crystal, Nicole and Carey.

Motivation

Here are a few photos of my pals who motivate me every day to do better, push harder and keep it fun. Carla, our award winning Irish dancer, has been in BC for about a year now, and rarely misses a class. Chrissy and Amy, and the team today (missing a few faces... Irene, Sarah, Karen, Carrie.... )

Since Feb 07, I've been a boot camper. Added CrossFit gym workouts in January with Carey who is teaching me a new respect for concentration and making me comtemplate form and weight load over speed. Yes, she's a tough cookie, though this photo may not reflect it. It does if you know her. However, if she demos another kipping pull-up for me in her current condition, I'm going to have to call and report it to her obgyn.
