Some training highs and lows ...

I haven't posted in a while so I'll catch you up quickly.

Week of October 1:

Training low - Monday CrossFit

Quite the humbling experience. I'm typically one of the first in my sessions to finish a WOD or get the most RAP and, in a given day I'm always above the median. Today I was dead last in the WOD and had one of the slowest times of the day. Only redeeming factor is that I held it together. I didn't curse. I didn't scream. I didn't throw anything (although it would have been soooo satisfying to throw a 85 lbs barbell). I didn't cry (thank god). I just kept going and finished. Huh, maybe this is what they call "maturing with age" :P

Training high - Tuesday Speedwork

Finally got outside. 8 x 800m with 1.5 min rest in between.
I averaged 3.30 with my last 800m in 3.21. BAM!

Week of October 8:

Pretty much a total wash. Was travelling internationally to see family I hadn't seen in about 8 years so to make the most of a very short trip, there was no running, biking or swimming. There was a helluva lot of walking and a CrossFit workout at CrossFit Praha (great place, great coach), but that's about it.

After a tough WOD at CrossFit Praha,
I managed to snag a shot with owner Zdenek Weig.

Week of October 15:

Easing back into things this week.
- CrossFit x 3
- 1.5 hr run

I've signed up with the Peak Centre and will be starting a new bike/run program shortly. I decided to switch as they're program also includes a strength portion, nutritional counselling and a facility at which to workout. Looking forward to it, but am a little scared of the VO2 max tests I have to get done to start things off next week. *cringe*
