Ok.  PM me your phone # and I'll text you.  I'll be working out around 7pm tonight if you're up for it (bring the Vibrams, probably good we both get used to using em for weightlifting).  Look for the mainsite WOD.  This will be an AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 20 minutes.  10 wallball throws, substituting thrusters with the barbell.  10 GHD situps, 10 GHD extensions.  Keep going until 20 minutes or you throw up.

Thats awesome man! you're doing crossfit/crossfit endurance workouts right? i 've been looking into that a little bit too, are you training for anything like a triathlon or anything in particular?

I'm working slowly into it.  It's 15-30 minutes of absolute hell, but fun as anything.  They preach the kipping pullup pretty hard as part of their full-body, functional movement paradigm.  I still don't have the hang of them and still have pretty weak upper body strength.  For crossfitters?  We've got one guy, Tyler, who's L1 certified and I usually do the workouts with him in the evenings.  An affliate just opened in Fargo (will check that out next weekend probably).  One of my CFI buddies is interested and his wife has been doing X-fit in Florida.  She'll be here next month.  Yeah, it's kind of growing.

I'm making Ironman a 2-3 year goal, getting a bunch of component pieces in place before I declare I'm actually training: get the nutrition dialed in, figure out and adjust to CFE, figure out swimming on UND's "generous" schedule  .  And it'd be nice to get a <4hr marathon done.

Let me know if you want to do some WODs with us.  Tyler's good at it, I'm a weak newb, and his sister's new too so it's not like some elite thing (yet).



Oh, ps- I ran the 5k in my Vibrams.  Those things are really working out.

Congrats.  I was hoping to begin running more seriously this summer, but events prevented me.  Looks like it will be a while before I attempt to go under 20 again.

I'm not sure who else is working on running at this point, but you might be able to find some other people to train with if you ask.

Not biking related, but I'm highly stoked.  The workout-of-the-day yesterday was a 5k.  I ran the course in 19:19.  That's actually better than my times back in high school (was never all that awesome X-C).  The training is doing what it should be doing.
