6/17/10 5:30pm @ Tribe

2K Row - 8:35

Last time I did this was on 12/30/2009 and got 9:35. Am pretty happy with a 1 minute PR. A few notes:
Focused on pulling slow and hard through my legs. Tried to keep my hands really loose so I wasn't pulling with my arms but I must have been near the end because my wrists were fatigued. Erin said my back was rounding, not sure if that happened just near the end or the whole time, no one said anything early on. I killed the first 1000m in 4:02 and was barely winded, honestly, but I hit the wall suddenly and it really started to suck at the 1000m mark. Also, the damper was wacked out. Flat on the ground for a good ten minutes after this. BCAAs before, oats&whey after. A few bites of Angel's chicken strips when I got home, nothing major.

6/18/10 6am @ CFCC
Single arm dumbbell press/push press, 3R peak set
Worked up to 30# press and 45# PP. Neither of which are maxes for me but I ran out of time. Alternated with recoiled medball throws and, oops, just remembered I never did perfect pullups. Haha.

Metcon: AMRAP in 12 minutes of 10 sec HS hold/8 ring row/12 single leg squats (6/leg)
1. Kicking up into a handstand sometimes irritates my adductor. I got mad when it did it today. Will walk up from now on I guess.
2. Had to leave and cut this short at 5 minutes so I only got 4 rounds.
3. Couldn't focus, kept thinking that I had to go to work. Ugh.

-Adductor report: I have been icing daily. Going for 5 times but haven't gotten consistent yet. I need to put a reminder on my phone or something. I've been using a frozen water bottle but can't quite hit the sore spot all the time, it's weird. so I keep the general area cold which is....comfy, lol....and hope for the best. Also been taking extra fish oil (4.5 grams/day) to bring down any inflammation. But this thing is not healing like I want it to and unless some miracle occurs I will be making a doctor's appt as soon as my health insurance kicks in to get this fixed once and for all.
