Still not sure if I'm just tired from not coming to RFM regularly or if the WOD's this week are just kicking my ass but we've have some humdingers lately.
(Yes thank you that was my first attempt at using the word "humdingers", I think it worked.)
Yesterday was another simple but terrible four rounds of the 400 meter run followed by 15 toes to bar.
Oh yes, we had a one minute rest in between rounds.
See, this is where sometimes in Crossfit you get to involve some strategy.
I figured, just go all out on the first 400 meter run. After that you're golden because no matter what time you come in everyone has to wait one minute. I'll always be a minute ahead of everyone.
Which was absolutely correct. I think the first two rounds I was way ahead of everyone.
Then came Shauna. Damn it.
She was doing her T to B's pretty quick and she's a good steady runner. Not really super fast but just maintaining the same speed for all four runs.
That's hard to do, especially for me although yesterday was better than most. My back didn't start tightening up until the 3rd round and that's where she passed me.
I think our times ended up being three seconds apart, with her ahead of me.
Grrrrr...
Okay, today we're doing push-presses followed by double unders. Hopefully this goes better today for me.
On another note.
So, a while back I posted a link to a 60 Minute story about how sugar and corn syrup are basically killing us.
Yep. Bottom line is, get your sweets from fruits or not at all.
They did a follow up this past Sunday: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57481946/is-sugar-toxic/?tag=contentMain;cbsCarousel
From what I could tell, a portion of the new information in the latest report is that glucose attaches itself to cancer cells and FEEDS IT.
That is messed up. Open up your fridge and look inside. See that cake? It's evil. That ice cream? Toxic.
That Komoda Bakery cream puff? That's Satan himself waiting to kill you from the inside with his pitchfork.
This makes me sad because some of my favorite foods involve sugar: guri guri, cookies and cream, blueberry cheesecake, that fancy dessert at Hy's Restaurant in Honolulu where they drizzle fresh fruit with melted chocolate . . .
No more. No more.
But how do I stop my son from eating sugar? That's the tough one.
That and how bad do I feel for HC&S? They're growing acres and acres and acres of sugar and now this report comes out. I wonder if this has affected their operations or profit margin.
I can't help it, I'm a Paia boy. The sugar industry raised my family and put food on the table for my mom and my aunts and uncles.
Sigh. Getting off point here a little, sorry folks.
See ya at the box,
Rod
