Large snowstorm Friday night (9"+ is massive for St. Louis), so was kinda snowed in Saturday.

May not get much done outside of the house this weekend! Back to normal schedule finally next week, will swim M/W/Th, CF T/Fr/maybe Sa depending on the workout. Head Senior coach said I would be welcome to do some of the power work that the M/W morning group sometimes does, so that should be fun.
Thursday, 1/10/2019 CrossFit Workout Warmup - airbike, PVC warmup, barbell warmup Strength - A) Power Clean - 135/3, 165/3x5 B1) Seated sled drag - 3x2x ascending weight B2) Wall squat sit - 3x1:00 Conditioning - 5 rounds 8 SDHP 75# 8 TTB 8 OH lunge 75# 3:44 Probably should have gone with 95#.
Workout dump of the first half of the week, with Julian Calendar Christmas with the in-laws sandwiched in between. Usual lack of sleep since they don't believe in window treatments. Sunday, 1/6/2018 Garage Squats Back squat - 45/5, 135/3, 185/3, 225/3, 255/3, 280/3, 265/5, 250/7, 235/10 Got this done in like 15-20 minutes. Time to move up in weight again if I feel good next weekend. Tuesday, 1/8/2018 CrossFit Workout Warmup - stretching, jump rope work Strength - A) Deadlift - 135/5, 225/3, 290/5,5,5 (Start of linear progression cycle) B1) Pullup - 53#/5,5,5 B2) Landmine push press - 3x5 ea arm, didn't count weight Conditioning - AMRAP 7 50 double unders 10 OHS 95# Wednesday, 1/9/2018 Pool Workout 200 fr ez 3:20 150 dr 2:30 200 fr ez 3:20 150 k 3:00 200 fr 80% 8x50 :55 SLOB/fast fr 5x{200 p br 3/4/5/7 3:10 100 1:40 25 sw/50 overkick/25 sw 50 count strokes - decrease by round 1:10} 6x50 dr/sw 1:00 2x{100 IM 1:45 100 fr build 1:45 50 DPS :50} 200 warmdown 4050y Pretty good loosen up workout from being out of the water for a week and sitting in a car most of the day yesterday. I'm now signed up for Ozark Champs 1/26-1/27 to qualify for Sectionals (and just to compete some). It's prelim/finals but I probably won't swim too many finals. I am doing (Sectional Q times in parentheses) 100 fl (53.89), 200 br (2:19.49), 100 fr (48.59) on Saturday; 100 br (1:02.99), 100 bk (55.59), 50 fr (22.29) on Sunday. Not sure what day(s) I'll be going to Sectionals yet so did a variety of things... sprint frees might be a little tough to get, 100 fly could be close - might have to suit up.

Saturday, 1/5/2019 Garage Workout Warmup - barbell warmup, OHS up to working weight 10 supersets - 1 OHS 225# 15 RKBS 53# 10 v-ups Not for time, just moving more or less constantly. Very sore from Tabata yesterday, was tough to get moving but glad I did.
Friday, 1/4/2019 CrossFit Workout Warmup - med ball warmup, stretching, PVC drills Strength - Hang Snatch - 95/2, 115/2, 135/2, 155/2, 175/2, 185/2, 195/2, 205/1+b, 1+f, 2 //Funky finger from Tuesday didn't hurt so that was good. Underpulling on the 205s, even the one I made. Still, most I've snatched in a bit. Conditioning - Tabata sets (:20 on, :10 off for 8 rounds) HSPU - 5,5,4,4,4,4,4,4 Pistols - 10,10,8,8,8,8,8,8 Hand Release PU - 8,10,10,8,8,8,8,8 Jumping lunges - 16,16,16,16,16,16,16,24 Will do some form of dryland workout Saturday and also Sunday morning, then leave for in-laws' Greek Orthodox Christmas the rest of Sunday, plus Monday and Tuesday. Back in water Wednesday. Planning on doing Ozark Sr. Champs the weekend of 1/25 if the club can get me USA-S registered fast enough.
Thursday, 1/3/2019 Pool Workout Still feeling a little beat up, but that's OK - don't need a lot of pop yet at this point in the season. Will sacrifice that for getting a little stronger right now. Just kept moving today, nothing too noteworthy. 3x{100 free 1:30 100 IM 1:40 100 bk drill 1:50 100 k 2:00} 4x{4x50 1:00 1,2 - dr/k 3 - cruise free 4 - build} IMO 3x{4x100 1:45 1 - cruise free 2 - IM 3 - double strong stroke IM no free (back) 4 - double weak stroke IM no free (fly)} 6x50 dr/sw ez 1:00 100 IM fast 200 warmdown 3800y Started looking at pricing for flights/hotels/rental car for Nationals - looks like it would be closing in on $1k... which is a lot to spend for a swim meet. That plus getting the bill for my colonoscopy and being pretty significantly higher than I expected and I'm having some second thoughts about going there. So... my coach mentioned this as a possibility and I'm going to look into it... I may sign up for a USA-S meet in February to qualify for Sectionals (they are at Mizzou which is relatively close!) and do a day or two of them mostly unrested, and then use Ozark SCY Champs the last weekend of March as my taper meet. Gotta decide pretty quick though because February isn't that far away.

I hit the wall after the 3 round 1st fast 100 and only did 100 cruise after that and the 4th round - so my set was 100 less than as written.

Performance is about what you'd expect given that. 25s were good, 50s were OK, everything else was pretty bad.
Tuesday, 12/4/2018 CrossFit Workout Did my first day of coaching Tuesday morning, it was more assistant coaching because the head coach is easing me into it. Getting used to the multitasking between two or three groups of intervals is going to be the tough part but it'll be fun. CF in the evening after work. Stuffy and a little sore from a cold so probably not my optimum effort. Warmup - rowing drills, 2x(10 KB swing, 5 tempo RR, 5 tempo pushups, 10 air squats) Strength - Deadlift (dead stop between reps) - 135/5, 225/5, 275/5, 315/5, 335/5, 355/5 Conditioning - "Christine" 3 rounds 500m row 12 bodyweight DL (190#) 21 box jumps 24" 9:58 Wednesday, 12/5/2018, CrossFit Workout Warmup - plyos, banded stretching, barbell warmup Strength - A) Tempo strict pullups - 5x5 fast concentric, 3 sec hold, 5 sec eccentric B) Tempo overhead squats (same tempo) - 95/5, 135/5, 155/5, 175/5, 185/5 Conditioning - EMOM 9 1 - 45 sec ring plank 2 - 12 reverse lunges 50# DBs 3 - 6/arm 1-arm push press 50# DB
