8/22/26

I was going to try to get some crossfit in this AM, but I hurt my wrist from a fall hiking yesterday... I don't think it is too serious (i.e. not broken), but definitely was in a bit of pain yesterday and still was today. Got a solid pump instead ... overall enjoyed getting this in.

8/17/26

 Complete Rest 

8/16/26

 Event 2 (1100)

2 RFT:

30/25 Cal Row

30 KBS (70/53#)

-5:28 (event win) … went unbroken on this and took the event ... I went out very hard on the first row and got 10 KBS before anyone else was even off the rower… this helped me a lot and despite slowing down on my second row, got all KBS unbroken. Fun and suprisingly hard workout. 

Event 3 (1300)

5 Minutes to Establish:

1 Snatch + 1 OHS 

-230# (event win) … warmed up to 195# and then opened at 205#, it felt easy so I went up to 230# … subsequently loaded the bar to 240#, but I could see the other guys in my age group were not getting above 220#, so I just relaxed and took the W. 

Event 4 (1500)

600m Run (out and back) 

-I didn’t get the exact time, but I did win this event as well. Another guy had the lead for about 400ish meters and I was right behind him for the first 400. Then another guy tried to pass both of us and I just took off and smoked both of them. It was nice to race and run hard… this really reminded me of my high school track / XC days … always enjoyed those sports and this event was a really good way to tap into that part of myself. 

Event 5 (1645)

For Time (8 minute cap): 

21-15-9

Deadlifts (225#, 275#, 325#) 

5-4-3 

Handstand Complex (1 Wall-Walk + 1 Strict Wall-Facing HSPU on the round of 5, 2 Strict HSPU on the set of 4 and 3 Strict HSPU on the set of 3) 

-Cap + 3 Strict HSPU … made some mistakes here and got no repped on a wall-walk for not touching the forward line with both hands prior to my feet/chest hitting the floor and had to do an extra wall-walk… this really took it out of me and I actually failed a HSPU during one of these sets of 3… resulting in yet another wall-walk to finish that set of 3… rough mistakes that made me take 4th in the event. I got my ass handed to me by this event, but I don’t really train wall-facing HSPU and I was smoke by all the events by the time I got here. 

With a 2,1,1,1,4 (out of 5 men) I took the overall victory for this competition. Our age group was supposed to have 7 men, but two men couldn't make it due to the hurricane. I was happy to win this comp and get to meet some people from the Hawaiian  crossfit scene. Fun day. 

8/15/26

 'The Slam 2026' 

Event 1 (8:40 pm) 

A.

For time (20:00 cap) 

150 Double-Unders 

25 Toes-to-Bar

25 Thrusters (75/55#)

25 C2B Pull-ups

25 Thrusters (75/55#)

25 Toes-to-Bar

25 Thrusters (75/55#)

25 C2B Pull-ups

25 Thrusters (75/55#)

150 Double-Unders 

-Finished 18 of the 25 last set of thrusters (Cap + 157 reps) ... ROUGH ... this was done in a very hot/steamy gym right before a hurricane was getting close to Oahu... this was the most hot/humid temperature I've experienced while working out in a very long time... I thought this score was going to be much worse, but I ended up getting 2nd in my age group. When I practiced this workout a few weeks ago I got into 60 double-unders... I gassed out really hard during the BJO and generally just went super slow during that second half... this is a very tough workout and a solid aerobic crossfit test. I was a bit mentally defeated after this one... I have been out of my routine and the stress of moving / new job etc. has been a lot... but this was a Saturday night event and I know there will be more events tomorrow. 

8/13 & 8/14/26

8/11/26

AM Workout (0500)
