Fun morning sprint at the Bethel Schools Complex. No real mistakes but a few sub optimal routes. Trickier than it looked. Legs feeling the lifting.

Perfectly timed jaunt in towards work down Whitney, was about 200m in front of a shuttle when my 23 mins was up.
6 PM
Cross Fit 58:53
ahr:115 max:185
Not too tough today - although I guess the max Hr is from the airdyne! 12 minutes of split jerk practice which was fun - I've never really felt them work right before, and they did today. Kept them light up to 55lb. Then a short WOD: 3 sets of 5 heavy push press (55lb), 10 alternate DB snatches (20lb), then 30 seconds on the Airdyne, starting every four minutes. The snatches got easier, which I guess means I was getting better at them. Nice crowd there too, good way to end the week.

Note
(rest day)
I couldn't sleep all night worrying about where some brain tissue was stored (I spent two hours looking for it last night to no avail) and when I came in this morning, George found it in the space of two minutes flat. Labelled very clearly in my handwriting on a shelf I was sure I had looked at. D'oh. I am very happy that it has been found, but feel like shit now. Stress is not good for me. Rest day today I think. I am not making the most of my cross fit dues right now! (Although they probably saved us the fees for a removal company!)

Downloaded for posterity, our route along the waterfalls at Enders State Park today. I need the map for CT A to Z...
Orienteering 23:00 3.38 km (6:49 / km) +81m 6:05 / km
ahr:170 max:186
After going to Enders, we headed over to Charlie and Rhonda's for a lovely lunch and a walk around the woodland. On arrival Charlie handed me the sprint maps from the last relay and I had a bomb round the courses - managed to fit both into my 23 minute time slot. Good fun, legs feeling much better. Really think it was the move affecting me at the weekend.

Lovely day out with Mum & Dad in the Connecticut River Valley. Visited the next state park (a car park by Haddam Bridge) and went to Devil's Hopyard, which looked fantastic with all the autumn colours. Ran the final bit of the walk there. No Cross Fit Endurance today, I'm tired from the weekend.

Cross Fit 49:06
ahr:130 max:181
Oh my god. Warm up and then Cindy. 20 mins cycling through as many sets as possible of 5 pull ups (jumping in my case), 10 strict press ups, 15 air squats. I got 14. It hurt. A lot. You have to do 15 (with jumping pulls up, 8 if strict) to become an intermediate athlete. Pull ups are my downfall.
Running 23:02 5.09 km (4:32 / km) +39m 4:22 / km
ahr:180 max:187
Ran home. It felt good despite Cindy, so I decided to see whether I could make it back in my allotted 23 minutes. I got to the end of the street, which was waaaaay better than I anticipated. Nice. I scared a bunny.

Orienteering 16:01 [4] 2.7 km (5:56 / km) +50m 5:26 / km
Nice to know I can still sprint. I wasn't crazy fast but my tired legs moved fine and I really enjoyed the course. A bit befuddled when the path to 4 disappeared, but other than that pretty clean - a lot cleaner than Iliana in the middle section who was light years faster but running all over the place. Had fun watching the relay and was very proud of acampbell for her fantastic weekend. Good times.
