Metcon

For time:

I did the full 3 miles (out the back door, four inside loops and back in the front door) and finished in about 55 minutes (well above the 45 minute cap).  Roughly 11 minute miles.

I did the 75# barbell as singles, but they were not fast.  I needed time to get set and my back is still tight.

The push-ups went really well and I could shake out during the run.

Finished with some pigeon stretch, hammy stretch, down dog and cobra

Core Progression Elite Personal Training

Core Progression

1030 - 12 of us in the class

Warm Up

high knees
butt kicks
arm circles
hip circles
air squats
lunges

Work Out

The workout was broken into 3 sections.  Section 1 was metabolic conditioning, Section 2 was strength and Section 3 was core focused.  All of the sections were designed to be 40 seconds off 20 seconds on for 5 or 3 movements.  2 sets of each movement

Section 1
Bear Crawl
KBS
DB squat to OH press
TRX push-ups
Battle Ropes

Section 2
Box step up
Bosu toe taps
TRX jump squats
Treadmill/Ski Erg/Rower
Partner med ball toss

Section 3

Plank toe touchs
Plank partner high five

Total workout 30 minutes.

Kyle was the head trainer and they had about 5-6 other staff helping out.  The facility was fully equipped from Rep Fitness and had a combination of machines, power lifting and functional fitness equipment.

Along with the grand opening, they were also doing a sock drive for The Action Center.

The had a lot of sponsors out and me and the girls all won raffle prizes including:
Belong Designs Hat
240 Union Creative Grill $25 Gift Card
Green Leaf Massage and Sports Therapy 60 Minute Massage
The Recovery Joint 1 Hour Physical Therapy

Fit Foods was on site giving out samples.  Starbucks coffee and Allmax Supplements were also supporting the grand opening.

I did not realize it was a chain until I started this blog post.  I thought the facility was spacious, well organized and clean.  The trainers felt more like cheerleaders than coaches, but that is to be expected with first timers and a grand opening.  1:1 training is a better test of quality trainers.

It was family friendly and the kids had fun.

Three rounds for time of:
Run 400 Meters
8 Front Squats

I scaled this to 135# to compare with last time and finished in 10:58 (2 minute improvement from 4.9.19).  Lacey challenged me to go sub 10:00 and despite being on track after round 1, the slower runs marked my fate.

R1 - 2:07/3:15 (2:07/1:08) 4/4 on front squat
R2 - 5:50/7:00 (2:35/1:10) 4/4 on front squat

1x85
2x82

89% of 1RM based on a 1RM from April of 92kg

Metcon

For time:
Run 400 Meters
40 Kettlebell Swings (24/16 kg)
40 Single-Arm Kettlebell Thrusters (24/16 kg – 20 each side)
40 Kettlebell Swings
Run 400 Meters

I scaled this to a 12kg kettlebell.  The kettlebell thrusters were a new movement for me.  I think I scaled it correctly.  Target time was 10-15 minutes sets of 20 on the KBS and 10 on the KB thrusters and I was able to maintain that.

Run 1 - 2:22
KB - 9:04 (6:48 split)
Run 2 - 12:02 (2:58 split)

Finished with some pull-ups 4-3-3-2

6 Rounds for time of: 
24 Squats 
24 Push-ups 
24 Walking Lunge Steps 
400m Run

In honor of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo, 34, of Houston, TX, was killed on June 24, 2010

I had the pleasure of bringing my 12 year old out to Crossfit Golden for a fun workout.  Lacey and Greg were kind enough to let her participate and she was allowed to do 2 rounds, which was probably a good end point.

I did the 6 rounds and the push-ups were by far the worst part.

R1 - 6:00
R2 - 11:47

I slowed down considerably in rounds 4, 5, and 6 and did not watch my splits.  My first round of push ups was 8-8-8.  By the last set it was 4-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2.  I could get through the squats and lunges without shaking my legs out, but the run definitely slowed to the point, I was walking the uphills.

I finished in 38:42 and was very pleased with myself for finishing and not scaling the rounds.  Although it is a Hero WOD in honoro of Edwardo Loredo, I thought of my Dad and how he would love to be able to see well enough to do something like this.
