CFE Week 2, #1

Here we are, 'together.'

Very interesting workout today.  Kirsten was in Lansing, I was in Houghton, but Kirsten wanted us to run together.  So we kept together by cell phones, using the earphones to go 'hands free.'
I provided the interval timer and Kirsten ran the metronome for cadence.  It worked amazingly well!  We could talk (when we could actually put words together) and hear nearly as well as if we were right next to each other.  Cool!

MotionX-GPS Track: Swedetown: Reaping The 3 Bears

Hello,

Charles White uses MotionX-GPS on the iPhone and is sharing with you the following track:

Mar 3, 2013 2:59 pm, 23F, NNW8, 53%. Pretty fast, esp. icy bits. Beautiful sunny day! Bear Chase competitors out for their last long ski before their taper. I think I saw Paul Lyle. I'm in no way fit enough for racing. Combined with a lazy nature, this has not been my best year for training. Who knows what the future holds?

CFE: Short Intervals

I forgot to take any pictures today.  Here's my Mom doing her WOD at CrossFit Worthy in Mount Pleasant.  She's 81.

CFE Warmup

Drills:
  • Legs only.
  • Hop drill.
  • V1 with 2 poles per side.


WOD: Short Intervals
Repeat :30 on :30 off until form/pace deteriorates.

CW: My form deteriorated on the first interval!  A slight downhill, going fast and I overcommited the leg pushes.  A fall is a sign of bad form, isn't it?  Never mind, I got up and kept going.  7 intervals total.  Here's the data:

166m,  2:58.8/km
170m,  2:53.0/km
138m,  3:33/km
113m,  4:18.8/km
154m,  3:09.0/km
162m,  3:05.2/km
167m,  2:57.6/km

During the last one, I could feel my technique slipping a bit, so that was it.  I'm not worried about the times, the terrain and techniques were quite varied. 20F, Icy crusty snow with 1/4" shavings on top.  Faster but a bit dicey.
