WOD: 12.59 R'xd
ReplyDeleteMy name won't be on the board, but I didn't break the pull up bar today, so that is a bonus!
WOD: 12.48 Rxd
ReplyDelete(Previos was 14.37) So an improvement of 1.49. Still plenty of wriggle room for improvement.
All KB's unbroken.
Helen came to us almost 4 months to the day, & her main focus was to get fit enough to pass the Navy Physical Fitness Test. She had been doing some long slow distance stuff & was still no where close to passing things like the beep test etc.. I still remember her email & my call to her. She lives a fair way from CFP & said she might be able to make it once a fortnight or so. She wanted to pretty much learn the fundamentals and pop in every now & then.
ReplyDeleteAfter her first "Essentials" then joing the group she was hooked. I give her credit for making it down religiously twice a week since. Since then she has represented CFP proudly in 2 games days.
Just recently she passed her Physical with flying colours & will be heading off for a new chapter in her life.Her transformation has been nothing short of amazing. I wish her all the best & im sure we will see her again whenever she is in town.
Congratulations Helen and all the best for your new venture !!!!

Helen, sorry I couldn't be there for your last WOD tonight. I wish you every success for whatever life or the Navy throws at you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes in your new career Helen! Though we didn't cross paths very often at CF, I know through Facebook that we have one thing in common (hehe!)!!!
ReplyDeleteI did PT with Glenn this arvo focussing on core, balance, agility and mobility. I reckon 5 rounds of jumping squats hurts way more than front squats with a barbell !!!
Fair dinkum - if I trained 5 hours every day I still wouldn't be able to cover all the aspects of fitness I want to develop.
All the best Helen it was a pleasure team training with you oxoxoxoxoxox Thank you for your encouragement throughout my cf journey. May catch up with you in a melb box
ReplyDeleteWOD 14:50 2 x yellow bands. Pull ups for some reason tonight were horrible. Ended up using 2 yellow bands not 1 :(
ReplyDeleteAll the best Helen, you are an awesome CFP'er and its sad to see you go! Have fun in the navy and at the other boxes in Melb (but dont forget about us!!! hehehe) Keep in contact!! :) xxx
WOD: 12.03 (Blue band pullups)

Helen i wish you all the best for you new adventure with the navy, your team spirit & presents at the box will be missed. Take care & hope you seen you back one day at the box for a WOD :D

First time doing HELEN. Was really happy with my first round with unbroken KB Swing & Pull ups but just could keep it up for the other 2 rounds. But i know next time it comes up i would have improved my kipping pull ups. Awesome work tonight by Courts, Mitch & Dan. You guys were amazing :D
WOD: 8:40

ReplyDeleteHELEN: 8:07 RXD yieoooowwwww ;)
thanks everyone for your encouragement really appreciate it :D
Helen have fun and good luck :)
WOD: 15:20 (two red bands)
ReplyDeleteOuch! My namesake hurt like hell and was the closest I came to being on pukie board, that would have been a way to go! :)
I don't have enough space to praise the wonders of CFP, and that isn't just the endorphins and the malteser cake talking (thanks Gab!)
It has been an absolute pleasure training with you all and having such fantastic coaches in Glenn and Jody. It has been ugly, uncomfortable, amazing and exhilirating being part of this team. I have never been an athlete before and never thought I could be, I feel like I was particularly lucky that Penrith was the closest box to me. I can't imagine a better group of people.
I will see you all again in December and wish you fantastic training til then.
Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome!

ReplyDelete8:38 as RXD
I have been lazy with my running and I felt it on this one. My last HELEN time was 11:47 so happy to have taken just over 3 minutes of that. Gotta hit the pavement and try to get under 8 mins next time around. Getting the butterfly pullups going will help also
