Double WOD Saturday

So it was Saturday the 9th of June 2012, off for a Saturday morning session then head up to Sumner to watch the crew compete at Ironskull for a few hours.
We did a pretty awesome 2 man team WOD, box jumps, push ups, rowing, burpees etc.
So after the WOD had a shower, got changed etc, then jumped in the car, filled up with fuel, grabbed a nut bar and a spinach ricotta pastry.
Off to Sumner, when I got there Coach says, are you gonna join in? it's an easy one, do it c'mon.
So yes I put my name down.  And off all things the WOD was Fight Gone Bad! now this was a shortened version for the competition day.  Only 3 rounds of misery. 1 minute AMRAP of the following: Wall Ball @ 10kg must reach 10 feet marker on wall, SDLHP @ 40kg, box jumps @ 36 inches, push press @ 40kg, burpees! with 30 seconds rest between rounds.
Yuck! that was an experience, I was damn nearly dead by the end and completed 191 reps in total, pretty sure I only got about 5 reps on the wall ball on the last round.

Time flies - even if you aren't having fun

It has been a few weeks already I think.
Weeks full of training, eating, having fun and all the rest of it.
Have been stepping up training the last few weeks, 4 times a week, usually back to back.
Keeping up the supplements, namely Syntec Synabol and Syntec Synthesis protein complex.  Great stuff, does a great job with muscle repair and everything else in the body that uses proteins as building blocks.
Climbed to a new milestone during Monday morning training with Deadlift, did 2 sets of 5 reps @ 120kg and 1 rep @ 130kg and 1 rep @ 140kg.

On the food front, we went to Tian Ran the other week for dinner, had a nice feast.
Taboon in Robina for lunch yesterday, fantastic.
Signature Dish in Varsity Lakes for breakfast on Sunday was wonderful, the Chef made something not on the menu.
Food, I love it.
