Another Class Bites the Dust


<--- My old Iraqi gym before I knew about CrossFit.
Yea haw! I just submitted the last assignment for another college course, which ends today. Three credits closer to my degree - thank goodness! I didn't think this class would ever end. The subject was ok. I just didn't get much from the professor. If I calculated correctly, I think I pulled another "A". Hey, when you only take one class at a time an "A" isn't that hard. Tomorrow, my next class starts - Hooah! (artificial enthusiasm). :-)


Of course, I talked up CrossFit online to my new class already today. Just like my last class, I provided everyone with the CrossFit.com web site. I know... I'm a freak.


Tomorrow, my friend Jake and I are diving @ Mermet Springs, IL. That's if, I can convince my boss to let me skip work. Shhhhh - don't tell anyone. I dived the quarry last year, so I know what's, what for the most part. Quarry diving isn't as exciting as open ocean water, but it keeps the skills in check. They sunk the plane from the movie "U.S. Marshals" in the quarry and they've stocked it with large albino catfish and four to six foot Paddlefish. So if I don't return on Friday for the WOD, I was eaten by a fish or drown. You know... I should be a little worried right about now. SOMEONE! at the gym today was nice enough to point out that one of my tattoos was consider by some to be bad luck. Hmmmm... I'm glad I'm not superstitious.


Today's WOD: 30 handstand push-ups, 40 pull-ups, 50 Kettlebell swings @ 1.5 pood, 60 sit-ups, and 70 burpees. I pulled a time of 36:47. I need to work on my handstand push-ups. Either, I lose some weight or grow muscle. I hate diets, so I guess the latter. Release the "T"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope everyone I know is safe, sound and healthy!
