KETTLEBELLGUY

Cold, cold, cold this morning. At the gym at 6AM.

Eric, Matt, Kelly, Dave and Ron with Brian and Jerry coaching.

Temp was 44 degrees. The furnace was out and Jerry and Brian were not able to get it started.

Not a problem, I just kept my sweatpants on and we got to work. I wonder what the reaction would be in a big box gym to no heat?

I was stif as a board this morming and the cold was not helping me get moving.

The warm up workout today was

15 Squats
15 Set ups
15 Push ups

3 sets

Then on to the Filthy Frigid Fifty WOD:

50 24″ Box Jumps (I did step ups)
50 Jumping Pullups
50 Kettlebell Swings (35LBS)
50 Walking Lunges
50 Knee to Elbows
50 Push Press
50 Back Extentions
50 Wall Balls
50 Burpees (Brian had me do my modified Burpees or I still might be there doing them)
50 Double Unders (I did 150 jump ropes)

This took me 32 minutes and I was beat to a pulp when it was over.

Ron needed to take off to get to work so he left and the rest of us slowly got ready to go out into the cold. All of a sudden Ron was back. He had managed to place his car into the ditch along side the gym driveway. Some of the guys went out to see if they could get it to move but were unsuccessful. They could not get the car out so I dropped Ron home so he could take his other car to get to work.

There is no end to the excitement you find at a Crossfit workout.

I had noticed the last several days that my downloads seem to be getting slower and slower. Streaming video was breaking up. Did a speed test and my download speed is 10-15 kbps. That’s no good. Called for tech help and they determined that my DSL line has a very week download signal. Repair Tech scheduled to be out tomorrow. Hopefully it’s just something in the outside wiring that can be easily fixed and I will be back in business again.
