Yowsers, Rubbish, and Niggles

Yowsers, Rubbish, and Niggles - these are my words of the week. After spending two weeks with a variety of professional triathletes from the UK, these words are now ingrained in my brain. This week I was managing Julie Dibens, Fraser Cartmell, Joel Jameson, Dann Brook, Tom Room, and Georgie Rutherford, and, occasionally, Georgie's father, and Tom's parents.

Today's WOD was Cindy, max rounds in 20 minutes of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. I wanted to go harder on the pull-ups since I have been using the blue band all the time. We now have the pink band (1x harder than blue) and the purple band (2x harder than blue). And, I wanted to do ALL of my push-ups on the toes.

Now watch me use all my words in the same sentence...

When Marc said he wanted me to do the pull-ups with the purple band, I yelled "Rubbish" (but I did it anyway), and when the push-ups got to be so hard I yelled "Yowsers", and now I have a niggle in my back. Yowsers! But it's nothing a little vitamin I won't take care of.

Anyway, I got 11 rounds plus 5 pull-ups.

Yesterday was a very busy day. I was up at 5:30am and Dann Brook was out the door at 6:15am. Wallis was taking him to the airport for his flight back to Manchester, England. Then, I got a lot of work done and ran to the grocery store so that I could make Joel and Fraser a good "last meal" before they left. At 3pm we had Filet Mignon, baked sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, spinach salad, and key lime pie!

Then, I took Fraser to the airport while Lisa took Joel to the airport.

I picked Dawn up at 6pm and we went to XFit for the WOD (5k run). I just ran it with her (I pushed her) and finished in 24:27 and I made the top spot on the board (I wasn't even trying). Then we had our weight management meeting at 7pm. Jay reviewed my journal and my only issue is that he wants me to take in protein not only for meals but also for snacks. We'll be monitoring weight and body fat every two weeks. But I did lose one pound this week! Yowsers!
