Rest Day.

Daily report

• Body: Sore. 1-10; 7
• Sleep: Enough.
• Nutrition: Poor.
• Notes: Very upset about my regional ranking right now. I'm floating around 100th, and when I look at my scores the weak link is 11.4. I really should have gotten through those muscle ups. Oh well, looking forward to next year. And I'll still give it all I've got next Saturday. Why not?

No Training.

Daily report

• Body: Extremely sore. 1-10; 9
• Sleep: 8 hours.
• Nutrition: Not so great. Enough protein, too much starch.
• Notes: Calves and chest are very sore. I am thinking this is from the box jumps of the 11.2 WOD. Ready to hit it hard again tomorrow.
• Cool link of the day: I'm usually not into videos like this, but this guy is crazy good.

REST

No training today.

Pretty stoked about the announcement of the Crossfit "Open" WOD. I have been working on my double unders for awhile, and 75# for power snatch is something I can move through quickly. That said, I have never paired those two together -- it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Rest

No training today.

Shoulder is finally feeling well. Diet was not so good today, but that will keep me honest in the homestretch.

Will be logging all food intake via FitDay as well as detailed training/recovery notes all week.

3, 2, 1, GO!

• Body: Incredibly sore.
• Sleep: Very little.
• Nutrition: Nothing.
• Notes: Sick all day. Vomiting, fever, stomach pains.. the whole nine yards. My urine is quite dark which makes me think it might be rhabdo, but I'm not sure. In any case, this sucks. Probably wont be training for a few days.

Rest day

No training

Daily report

• Body: Most sore I have been in a long time.
• Sleep: Good.
• Nutrition: Very good.
• Notes: Was thinking about doing J.T. today at the box, but given that every trip up or down the stairs is a mini WOD and the immense difficulty of squatting to sit in a chair.. I will take some much needed rest today.
• Cool link of the day: I've been doing these for the past couple of weeks. These cognition tests from Cambridge Brain Sciences analyze different patterns of one's thinking. I really enjoy the grammatical reasoning test.

• Cool link of the day: I've been following this debate on The Economist. Check it out: Does the language we speak shape our thoughts? Personally, I argue that rather than language constricting our ability to express ideas, there is something ineffable about our ability to express ourselves that make it so that we can never say all there is to say about something. Any idea you can think of, there is an infinite number of ways to express it; you can never say all there is. Anyways, there's some fascinating discussion/debate about this in the link above.
