I'm sitting in the Qantas Club lounge on the way back to Brisbane after a fantastic weekend in Sydney. I figure this is as good a time as any to do a bit of catchup blogging!
Friday's WOD was 30-25-20-15-10 reps of:
- Burpees
- Toes to bar
- 60kg deadlift
It took 25:40 and was pretty damn tough! Annabel skipped it as she was feeling sick. I didn't have a lot of time so only did a quick warmup, but my legs have been stiff for the last 2 days so I figure it was a tough enough workout.
Saturday morning I went for a great run with Bobo - the ultimate running partner. We did the standard 10km along the Manly beachfront, to Fairlight along the harbour path and back. It took about 40 mins, and was a firm, not hard, pace. Bo was really good - he started to tire near the end but was very exciteable at the start. It's hilarious how grateful he is after a good run; he couldn't have given me more attention if he'd tried!
Sunday I was meant to take Bo for the pet+owner race on the Bay Run. Unfortunately I drank for 12 hours straight at Donut's bucks yesterday and was in no state to walk this morning, let alone run! I'll have to sweat out the booze tomorrow. I must stop this binge drinking - it cannot be good for the body.
In other news, my brilliant Suunto watch died yesterday. I had the battery replaced a few weeks ago and the guy obviously didn't seal it properly. I was very upset, but Luke at Northside (who may be the best customer-service shop owner in the world) took the watch back to send to Suunto, and has leant me another GPS watch to tide me over. What a champ! He also introduced me to a possible new-favourite website - DC Rainmaker. The site combines two of my favourite things - running and gadgets! It may well lead me to invest in a new gadget for my iPhone - the ANT+ attachment from Wahoo Fitness. Wahoo seems to be a great little company specialising in ANT+ attachments for iPhone. I want to investigate the applicability of Wahoo's cases to surf ski paddling. Could the iPhone be the best new surf ski training partner??
