Before this triple started I was praying that is was going to be a hard as hell 3 WODs. The last 3 hurt me good but not enough. I wanted to be gasping for breath with pain, muscle sorness, calluses, blood, chalk, sweat and the wonderful nauseous feeling after a WOD and the comfort of the floor afterwards. I wasn't disappointed but I want more.27/02/07BW 156*10 sprints of:125m row - drag 20:26.0@370:26.3@360:26.3@360:25.6@380:32.9@27 - fell off the seat0:25.9@370:25.9@370:25.8@390:26.0@390:26.3@39-Pistols 7x3 each leg-Cleans 5x3-95/105/105/115/115-MP 5x5-75/75/85/85/8526/02/07BW 156-Row 2000m = 8:23.5@21 - PR*"Josh"For time:21 OHS, 65lbs - 16/542 Pull-ups15 OHS, 65lbs - 10/530 Pull-ups9 OHS, 65lbs - 918 Pull-upsTime 12:53Felt pretty good on this one.

Yesterday's WOD was such a shit show that it really made me realize I should go back to the basics. The pull-ups were overhand grip, which is something I need to work on. I figure since my kipping pull-ups suck so bad and that I'm pretty much having to relearn them, I might as well start them off right.*DL 7x1-225/255/265/275/285/300/275I'm pleased with 300...for now.-Ring Dips 3x5-Jack Knives 4x8-Windmill 5x3-15/20/20/20/20OMG, why haven't I been doing these before?

Alright, here we go. Home sorta sweet home. Much to my confusion all weights are in pounds from here on in. It's been a great couple days back at it with some interesting results. My pull-ups suck and I have practically nothing of a kip, strength is way down but I'm just going thru the motions as sub max weights to get the feeling back, endurance is not too bad to start off with. It seems my strength and muscle endurance gives out on me before my lungs do so that's a plus. My recovery level and work capacity seem to be decent, I'm a bit sore but nothing debilitating and I feel fresh a couple hours after the WOD and a shot of espresso. Diets been good and have stayed within my guide lines and already I can see and feel a difference. The only thing that I worry about now is how fast my body weight has dropped over the past week. All in all I feel good. Feeling the way that I am with a healthy dose of Crossfit makes coming back home to this redneck filled frozen land makes it just much easier.02/09/07BW 153 - Post WODWOD Run 10k5k row = 22:08.0@203k run = 17:022k row = 8:47.8@19+ approx 5 min rest total between sets52:57.8I just wanted to get 10k done anyway any how.

Well this is it, this is the end of Crossfit Anywhere. After 15 months on the road I'm back home, fat and weak but hungry. Very Hungry. These last 15 months have been great and I've learned a hell of a lot about life and surprisingly a lot about fitness (thanks Andy) but now I'm home and am eager and looking forward to getting to go to a gym consistently and at all and putting into effect all that I'll learnt.29/01/07Novotel Gym, Beijing ChinaBW 72.1 - ouch500m rows with 5 drag - first time I've hit the rower in 3 months2:04.1@222:01.8@232:00.0@242:00.4@24Shoulder Press 7x3With DB's 20/25/25/30/35/40/40DB DL 50 - 4x1030-25-20-15-10-5 of:Back ext.Sit-ups26/01/07Paddy's Sport Center, Phnom Penh, Cambodia"Elizabeth"21-15-9Cleans 45kgRegular DipsTime 9:20Military Press 30 - 3 x 5Kipping Pull-ups 4 x 1025/01/07Paddy's Sport Center, Phnom Penh, CambodiaAs Few sets possible of:95lbs OHS, 75 reps5 sets of 15 with 65lbsForm and technique definitely is one of the first things to go after a long lay off as written in one of the journals.24/01/07Paddy's Sport Center, Phnom Penh, Cambodia"Diane"21-15-9DL - 90kgHSPUTime 9:20At least I beat 10 but it was with only 90kg.Back Squat 60 - 5x5Deadhang pull-ups neutral grip 7/6/5/4/3/2/1/2/3/4/5/6/7Paddy's Sport Center, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
