Hurt Locker, rainy run and Monday

I won't have much time to blog this week due to work. A quick summary of the weekend in Sydney:

Saturday
I went to Keith's gym for a workout with Annabel. It was great! The session was a Games WOD:

Pullups, 100 reps
Kettlebell swings 24kg, 100 reps
Double unders, 100 reps (I did 300 skips)
Overhead squat 40kg, 100 reps (I only did 30kg)

My time was a bit of 32mins. I finished 1 second behind a girl who had done the same OHS weight as me (but lower KBS)!! I clearly have work to do. I thought it was a good workout and I learned a lot, including how to properly do a kettlebell swing! Apparently I've been going too far down and not using my hips enough. Keith also showed me some muscle-up progressions, which I'm going to practice.

Sunday
I picked up my new Suunto Quest from Northside on Saturday, so took Bo for a run to test it out. It was pouring with rain but we met Rochey for the 12km Seaforth loop. Had a great run despite the wet - Bo was fantastic and Rochey and I were going at a really good talking pace. The Suunto said 12.5km so I need to calibrate it for that 400m gain. Total of 54minutes (approx. 4:30min/km pace), including warmup and cleaning up after Bo!!

Monday
Back to Brisbane last night for what is set to be a hectic week at work. I did a modified WOD as follows:

21-15-9 reps of
Power clean 60kg (it was meant to be bodyweight, but I'm not up to that yet)
Ring dips
Burpees

I'm very glad that I got the cleans out. They weren't overly pretty, and I need to get under the bar more, but I still got em out! I did 4 sets of 10 toes-to-bar afterwards, as well as some muscle-up progression practice.

I also confirmed that I'm getting better at skipping! I think I'll try to start each session with skipping / DUBs practice and end with MU progressions until I get it right!

Back to work now.
