Tuesday was not a fun workout. As a matter of fact, I almost met "Pukie"... the CrossFit mascot, of sorts.

The Tuesday workout was called "Nate". It involved max rounds in 20 minutes of 2 muscle ups, 4 hand stand push-ups and 8 kettlebell swings. I did jumping muscle ups, hspu's on the box (on the toes, hands on floor), and kb swings at 35#. What made this hard was going from the hspu's where your head is below your heart, to the kettlebell swings. That made me so nauseous. I got 14 rounds plus 2 muscle ups, plus 4 hspu's, plus 2 kb swings.

I made up for this misery by cooking a delicious filet mignon dinner for myself, Tim, and Julie. I bought organic steaks and even Tim noticed the difference... far more moist and tender than usual. They were very, very tasty!

Then I went to the airport to pick up Joel Jameson, another athlete coming in for the 70.3 World Championship. Poor guy was really tired from the jet lag as it was 2am his time (back in the U.K.). I got him settled in at Lisa Kaschak's house and I went home to bed... and slept in, so no CrossFit today.

It's been fun having Julie here... she is so easy going. I got these pictures of her "training".

Here she is, hanging around

on my yoga sling...

... and "racing" through the house on Lisa's

beach cruiser, complete with aero helmet.

Tonight, I tried a couple of new recipes out on Tim, Julie, and Joel. The crabmeat stuffed portabello mushrooms were ok. But the Chicken Bulgar Salad was a definite keeper!! Tim was very pleased with this dish. I had never made bulgar before, but it's no different than cooking rice.

Now I'll be up really late tonight as I pick up Dann Brook at Tampa Airport, and his flight doesn't get in until 11:45pm.... Ugh!!
