A small Hematoma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns out my little tumble off the bike yesterday left a bit of a bruise on my hamstring. So I took another rest day to coach Donna and Amy through a 5 x 5 Thruster workout followed by a row, pull up and box jump metcon.

I will be back in the gym tomorrow though.

Good Times...........

As the logo says "You can't beat Wellington on a good day!



MaD on the Wainuiomata Trails :-)

After a busy day yesterday we had a chilled out morning. Donna practiced her massage skills on me :-)

.

Then we headed for the hills, the trail head is less than 10 minutes from the house. Great trails, great riding, good times.

.

After that it was home for a pug pampering session, nails and brushing all around.

Now we are relaxing checking out the pics and results from all the CrossFit Games sectional competitions on this weekend. Great to see so many athletes from our second home, CrossFit East Sacramento doing so well.

Working hard at the NZ CrossFit Games Sectionals (check here for all the vids)

A long time between posts. Between work in the Army and at the gym I have been a slacker.
