After almost a week’s absence due to illness I was back at Crossfit this morning at 6AM after a good nights sleep. Did not get up once from 9PM to 4:30 AM. That is almost a record.
On Thursday I thought I was over the cold and might even try a Friday workout but as the day went on I crashed again. Got a severe sore throat, like little razor blades ripping the flesh of my throat with every swallow. That lasted through Saturday and then a miracle occurred and Sunday morning the throat was better.

It was nice to be back with everyone again this morning. As I went through the workout I could tell my strength and endurance was down. Felt very sick to my stomach during much of the WOD and had to really push to complete, coming in dead last. Hopefully things will improve over the week.
The NEO Crossfit Challenge is next Saturday so I want to be in good shape for that event.

On Saturday Charlie did the Last Chance Online Qualifier WOD’s for the 2009 Crossfit Games. You can read the details of the Last Chance Online Qualifier here. Below are his three attempts.
In WOD number 1 Charlie does double unders. I have watched several other videos of this workout and Charlie is truly the King of the Double Unders. I am still working on getting 1 in a row.

Eating—Scale showed me up again to 258. Going to try getting back on plan again today. It’s clear I am having an eating mental breakdown.
What hurts today—Ache and pain wise I feel good. Still some aching in the left shoulder/arm but the rest has been good for me. The real test will be how I feel tomorrow.
Good to see you up and at it again. You are such an inspiration.
Those darn flu bugs are nasty! Glad you are feeling better. Hope the car turned out well
