I was able to sleep from 8p to 2a with one pee time. I am really having problems sleeping. I fall asleep within minutes of hitting the bed but once I wake up, that’s it. I can’t go back to sleep. I was really tired when I got to Crossfit. I was moving very slow during the warm up, every bone in my body was hurting.
Eric cut his knee yesterday trying a really high box jump so he was moving a bit slow also. His experience confirmed my reasons for not jumping higher than the 6″ box. I simply was not built to launch myself through the air, especially going in the up direction. Perhaps one day I will go wild and try a 12″ jump.
I actually got first place in the WOD. This workout happened to have the right combination of movements and participants that made me a winner. That does not happen often.
Eric and I were going neck to neck. We have comparable times on the rower but Eric is way faster than me on setups. I was able to make up time on the deadlifts. We both used 205 lbs. Tom went a bit lower since this was his first real workout doing deadlifts. Eric and I came out with less than a minute between us so I would say we were well matched in this long workout.

Our WOD’s are not usually over 30 minutes but this one ran long. Thanks Brian for giving us the extra time this morning. It was fun going a bit longer than usual.
I got in 75 more ring dips this morning.
I got the garage door fixed. The spring was broken and I had the cables replaced. It was quite expensive but the guy did it in a few minutes. I could have done it myself but it would have taken at least two years for me to finish it. I have learned that there are just some things I need to bite the bullet on and pay for and get it over with. Keeping the garage door working is one of them.
