Second week of November and I forgot to track my meals and sleeping hours. Epic fail!
November 9, 2009
Went to the park with plans of completing Murph. Managed to do half of it before I started feeling self-conscious as there was an uncle staring at me doing pull-ups >.< *shy* Note to self: Drag some Crossfit buddies to park whenever I wanna attempt the workouts out of the gym.
WOD 111109
Deadlifts 5-5-5-5-5
then do:-
50 Burpees for time
Results:55 | 60 | 70 | 75 | 80 . 6:42
Deadlifts were awesome! Managed to rock out the 5 sets of 5 reps with very minimal rest in between. Then the burpees bitchslapped me back to earth -____________-” Strength versus cardio. Cardio fail!
WOD 111209
For time of:
350 Rope Skips
15 Double Kettlebell Press @ 24kg(M)/16kg(W)
250 Rope Skips
25 Double Kettlebell Push Press @ 24kg(M)/16kg(W)
150 Rope Skips
35 Double Kettlebell Push Jerk @ 24kg(M)/16kg(W)
Results: 23:48 (12kg)
My right calf was sore for two days after from doing the rope skips! Decided to go light on the kettlebell as I’m still perfecting my form (excuses excuse :p)
WOD 111309

November 15 (Sun)
After a long hiatus from climbing (and an EVEN LONGER one from bouldering), I finally headed over to MadMonkeyz in Wangsa Maju for a bouldering session. It took a while for me to ‘feel’ it again, but after a warm up session of traversing, the techniques came back to me. Kinda like riding a bike, you never really forget how to do it.
Managed to clean 3 routes and lost count on the attempts on 2 others :p One thing for sure, my finger strength isn’t as strong as previously. Understandable as the muscles used for climbing are somewhat different from the Crossfit workouts I’ve been doing. Nevertheless, it felt good. Felt good to reconnect with my first love (bouldering ;p) and it felt good to see part of the old climbing gang. Sure felt like the good ol’ days :)
