25 mile bike ride in morning. Great weather, light wind and lots of sun. Good solid pace.



I was reading this morning on the Internet news of 10 ways to save money. One of the suggestions was to not join a heath club or gym that requires a contract for a year. 80% of people who use gyms, only use the facilities infrequently or only a few times in a year and still pay for a years membership. So if you join a gym make sure you can pay as you go or don't buy in because you are supporting a gym that a few members are benefiting. This is the norm. Besides, most people who use gyms don't get the results the owners claim you can achieve anyway. If you don't believe me, just look at the members and see how members look and act fit. Case closed.

July 11th

July11th. sat.


WO du jour:
heavy bag warm up. Stretch bands, Indian clubs and overhead squats


CrossFit "Randy" WOD. That workout is to remember a SWAT operator killed on the job.

75 barbell snatches. AFAP. I have seen it done on the Main site in just under 3 min. However, it was a great session, and high metabolic rate, but it was a little slack on form with the starting position. I decided to do full snatches with full leg depth, which is a little slower but does what is designed to do.


75 good reps in 6 min. 14 sec. it was a great session.


20 mile bike ride after the Randy session. Felt good and not tired. Legs felt strong on the hills.
