Man makers

We had a very indulgent few days this weekend - with two fancy dinners out, a night in Byron Bay, a lot of red wine and a fantastic visit from Rochey and DJ. Not much exercise unfortunately, other than a surf on Saturday morning. Having lost a fair bit of weight in the last year, I didn't realise how much I had previously relied on body fat for warmth in the water. Usually I'd be fine in just boardies and a wettie top, unless it was seriously cold outside. However, without that extra 5-10kg of insulation that I've stripped back in the last year or so, after 10minutes in the surf, I was shivering and blue like I haven't been in years!

This morning I set us a workout designed to cleanse ourselves from the weekend. Five rounds for time of:
- 5 renegade man makers (I used 12.5kg dumbells, Annabel 2.5kg)
- 10 towel pullups (Annabel used her rubber band to assist)
- 15 thrusters (I used 40kg, Annabel 15kg)
- 20 floor wipers

THEN, 4 sets of 6 reps bench press (Annabel 25kg, Jamie 65kg-75kg on the last three sets).

We had to warm up for a while beforehand to wake up. I skipped and realised that I still have a lot of work to do - I was struggling to get 40 skips out before breaking! The actual WOD took me 18:11, and Annabel 17:51. I was ahead of her the whole way until the last set of thrusters, which almost killed me. My thrusters are definitely improving, but they're still hard.

Annabel was great this morning, despite a very slow start getting out of bed! Her thrusters are looking good and she's getting the hang of the assisted pullups. We're going to have to start dropping the assistance soon!

Less than 2 weeks to go before the City2Surf and I'm a little worried I haven't been doing enough running. Might try to do some hill sprints tonight/tomorrow.
