Monday, May 31: 2010 Elgin Fox Trot
Well happy Memorial Day and let's all wish Kenny, Shane, Nate and Stacey good luck today because they're all running the Fox Trot 5K in downtown Elgin. I'm still congested and dizzy while up walking so I'm going to pass, but at least no fever today... so far.

On Heavy Helen I felt real good. I ran at a decent clip in the begining and never really pushed until the last round of KBS. I was happy with how things went and made a big improvement from last time. However with a regular Helen you just have to go for broke on the run and recover with your swings. The two of them are differnet animals if you ask me.

Thursday, May 6: Wintersleep
Artist: Wintersleep, Album: New Inheritors
Featured Track: New Inheritors
My personal favorite Wintersleep track is either "Drunk on Aluminum" or "Nerves Normal. Breath Normal"
Drunk On Aluminum lyrics
Oh my, are you the beast again?
Is it the violence you like?
Oh my, I feel it crawling in
Gnawing, reptilian
In the lost, loney night
I wanna know
Cut out the sickness
Cut it in self defense
Cut the yellowing eyes
Skylines, bloody and cancerous
Color the dead patches
Make it white, make it white
Wild eyes, I feel the teeth again
Gnawing and imminent
In the lost, loney night
Oh my, give me the words again
Paint it aluminum
Nerves Normal. Breath Normal lyrics
There were floods
There was violence
Words to God
There was something
I'll be calm
Like an organ
Fading out
Tired of beating
Hurry up
Keep it moving
Am I alive?
Am I still breathing?
Worry not...
Wednesday, May 5: Rosetta
Manday, May 3: Back Home to the Grind
Sunday, May 2: Regionals Final WOD
This one was going to kill me and I knew it. My time for 30 135lb snatches is around 6 minutes so upping the weight to 145lbs and putting at the end of a tough WOD was going to be damn near impossible for me to be competative on, but oh well. I just have to get stronger.
On a side not I can say with total confidence and pride that I was the only guy at regionals to do both sets of my CTB pull-ups unbroken! Not too mention my time on the middle portion of the WOD aside from the snatches was 5:23. So if I could fire out snatches like all those other beasts there I'd be right up there with the rest of them.
Final Event
For time:
10 Snatches, 145lbs
20 CTB Pull-ups
30 Stick Jumps, 24"
40 Ball Slams, 45lbs
30 Stick Jumps, 24"
20 CTB Pull-ups
10 Snatches, 145lbs
Jacob 15:16
It took me 1:45 seconds to do my first 10 snatches, 5:23 to do the 20-30-40-30-20 portion, then 8 minutes to get my last 10 reps. I totally sucked it up on this one! The blog must be acting up I'm unable to post videos of the pull-ups and my clean and jerk... I'll try again later.
