10:45AM - Skiing at Camelback
- We went skiing for the first time this year and it went pretty well.  We had brand new outfits and my boots were tied tight but by the end of the day they may have been a little to tight.  Do not go to Camelback on a holiday weekend because you will wait 45 minutes for a lift and then hit up a 5-10 min run depending on how slow you go only to wait in the lift lines again.  There were kids, tour groups, and people on cell phones everywhere.  Before lunch everything ran pretty smoothly but then when we came back out the crowd seemed to double.  We had to leave early (around 3:30PM) because I could barely walk in my ski boots that were to tight and Meghan hurt her knee on the last run.  All in all it was a good day because I found out that my boots were to tight before we went skiing in VT for four days and I got out skiing for the first time in 7 years.

- 1/2c Water

10AM - Crossfit
Shoulder Press 1RM 155lb (Old 1RM 125lb)
Bench Press 1RM 195lb (Old 1RM 140lb)
- 5 rounds for time:
5 SDHP - 95lb
5 HSPU - 7 inches
5 Chest to Bar - Red Band
5 Push Press - 95lb

- I was only able to get through 4 rounds because I could no longer do HSPU.  I already knew that I had trouble with HSPU but I have been getting much better at getting up on the wall.  I now know that HSPU are my Achilles heal and they have become my top priority along with double unders.  I will have to work on my core and my shoulder strength.  It sucks because I was on such a high after blowing out my old 1RM for SP and BP.

2PM - Lunch
2 Fullers Bitter Ales
Fish & Chips
1/2 of a meat pie (beef, carrots, celery, peas)
5 hot wings

1c of Steamed Broccoli
1/2c of Butternut Squash

- 5 Push Press 115lb
- 1 round of Cindy (KB swings sub for pull ups)
5 KB Swings 35lb
10 Push ups

2nd WOD - Cindy - 7 rounds 5/2/0
10 minute AMRAP
5 KB Swings 35lb (sub pull ups)
10 Push ups
15 Air Squats

- The first workout was very short and it is my fault because I forgot to repeat Cindy 3x between each round of push presses.  I had to replace the C&J with the Push Press because I did not want to risk dropping the weight on the brand new gym floor.  Also, I had to replace Pull ups with KB Swings because there is no pull up bar.  I definitely could have done 1 more round of Cindy but the trainer at the gym came over to talk to me about my squat form.

7.5oz of Grilled Chicken w/Siracha, Pepper & some BBQ sauce

1.5oz Macallan 18 Year Old Scotch
1.5oz Laphroaig 18 Year Old Scotch
1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream
1/2 Peanut Butter Cookie

- Things could have been much worse at dinner especially with such an incredible menu. I have been to Barclay Prime before and I highly recommend going there for anyone interested in a great steak.  It is over priced considering a steak will cost you $58 minimum and to top it off they have a $95 8 oz filet on the menu.

Day 9 - Wednesday, Jan 12th

Crossfit
- New 1RM for Back Squat is 255lbs, an increase of 30lbs....which is nice.
WOD - Annie
50-40-30-20-10
- Double Unders (I had to do singles)
- Situps
Time - 8:55

- I had to do single jumps because I cannot string together double unders yet so I had to do triple the number of double unders.  I was able to get some nice sets of singles especially in the second round where I got the first 103 jumps before I hit my leg and lost it.  That is a huge jump for me from a couple months ago where I could barely do single jumps.  All in all everything felt good and I thought I had some good intensity throughout the WOD which is what I have been trying to work on as of late.

8:15PM - Dinner
Burrito Bowl from Chipotle

6:30PM - WOD
Full Clean 1RM - 195 lbs
"Quarter Gone Bad" - 96 (115lb, Purple Band)
- I had some trouble with the thrusters but I was able to start with a squat clean which helped get the bar up for the first rep.  I also had a little trouble staying in the purple band during the pull ups until I switched the band to my left foot on the last round which allowed me to do more pull ups on the last round than the rest of the rounds.  My burpees are getting faster and I think it may be a result of the burpee challenge I am doing each morning.

5oz Chicken with Pepper and Siracha
