Back to normal.

This cycle was fun. I'm finally over the cold I had, and back to eating Zone pretty much full time.

2008-01-27 - Crossfit Total

Back Squat: 295 lbs (tie for PR)
Got 315 lbs down, then about halfway up, but lost balance and had to put it back down.

Shoulder Press: 130 lbs (PR by 5)

Deadlift: 405 lbs cleanly (tie for PR)
Got 425 90 percent of the way but was losing grip with left hand so I had to put it down.

Next time should be in sight of a double PR.

After that, some running, as I signed up for Grandma's marathon recently and should probably train a little:

Intervals, 6 reps. 2:00 @ 10mph, 2% grade, 2:00 @ 3mph, 0% grade. Practiced some of the Chi-running techniques. I think I'm starting to get it- it makes the fast running much easier. I got some lighter shoes tonight, so we'll see how they work.

2008-01-28 - Cindy

# of rounds in 20 minutes of:
5 pullups
10 pushups
15 squats

16 rounds. 5 off PR, but best form ever for Cindy (real squats, good pushups, etc.) 1 more than last time.

2008-01-29 - Grace
135 pound Clean & Jerk x 30 for time
4:31.37- New PR by 1:19. 25% improvement.

That felt good. It's nice to be back in the "PR's every time" mode with CF. The Zone really works to improve performance- I can literally feel the difference it makes.
