20km fast on the bike erg this morning, back in the lycra ( 🤢, though @eleanorbrown91 seems to like it 😏 ), good food. Training training training, starting to break the back of it and feel good! (Apart from 2 day doms in my abs after gymnastics...)
Living room photo mounting update, pretty happy! Just busy painting painting painting and painting now, and the soulless reek of the new-build house is slowly disappearing.
Did too many gym and everything hurts (1000m bike sprints with Thrusters, Snatches, Wall Walls and Double unders today 🤢) but I have the magic spiky mat for my shattered hamstrings. I am in bits. Get one of these if you ever are too.
Every time Hozier releases some b-side/unreleased stuff my soul sings. What a glorious man, he sang me a song once and I'll never forget it, life changing.
Just did CrossFit open 24.2, had to do the scaled version as I don't have double-unders consistently enough, but got my pacing nicely and hit 734 repetitions in the 20min time cap. Disgusting last 5 mins
The workout for those unfamiliar was:
300m row
10 x deadlift (84kg/185lb or 61kg/135lb scaled)
50 x double-unders (single unders scaled) - this is skipping fyi
As Many Reps as possible in 20 mins. So you just do these movements on loop as fast as you can.
Really wanted to Rx as the row and those 84kg deadlifts are fairly easy for me, but the double unders dictated a scale workout! With a fused ankle, super hard maintaining the skipping, broke into 30/20 pretty quickly to give my one working leg a break, but got it unbroken in the last rounds again for a sprint finish.
I'll share the finish in another post later on, it is not dignified...
