Still kicking it in Sydney, working out under the harbour bridge. I've yet to hook up with Crossfit Sydney but that will all come in due time, this weekend to be exact, should be fun. My WOD's haven't been much lately as my left knee has been giving me major problems as of late. I first noticed it when I stepped off of the ferry off of KI and from there it's been giving me problems on a near daily basis. In Adelaide, the only times I really noticed it was first thing in the morning but as the day progressed it would loosen up and be fine. I didn't really notice it too much when I got to Sydney but after a couple day's in town, walking around the city covering like 10km and then doing a 10km run, things did not feel right at all and I've been walking with a bit of a hop since then. So I've been avoiding exercises to do with my knee, which has been extremely tough as I don't have much equipment but yet again I've somehow managed. All my pull-ups that I've been doing as of late have been off a tree branch and not a very good one at that. I found a rock the other day have been doing some swings with it, the rocks probably only weights in at around 30lbs, if that but it's tough as hell to get a grip on so it ends up feeling like 45lbs.

Not my best time but comparing that I was using a jagged rock, a tree branch for pull-ups and my knee don't quite feel right, I'd say I did an alright job. My knee is feeling quite a bit better. When I wake up it hurts to walk but after I stretch it out and get it moving it feels good. I managed to do squats today so that says a lot. I only hope that I can be able to run my the weekend for some Suffer in Sydney action.

Used a rock that was about 30lbs, I think. Hard as hell to get a grip on it though and I ended up cutting the hell out of my hands and rists on it so props to me.

Sydney, NSW
Run 10km

I used my pedometer to track my distance and I think I did over 10km and under 50 minutes. There were lots of steps and unlevel terrain that I don't think my pedometer tracks all that well plus I was stopped at like the longest red light in the world. I'd be really interested to do 10km on a 400m track.
