A bit of ice and snow.........

Last night we had a bit of an ice storm...

..followed today by 5 inches of snow

Got to love the weather in Tulsa, OK

Just another warehouse?

From the outside.........

You never know what is behind the roller door.

This is Next Generation CrossFit in Tulsa. I hit their 6am class for:
Strength/Skill: 20 Back Squats (225/135), one set.
WOD:
Three rounds, each timed, of:
500m Run
Rest approx. 5 minutes between rounds
1:48-1:49-1:47
This one is a leg burner :-)


Some of the snacks on offer at the firm I am training with. At least they offer great coffee and jerky to offset the Butterfingers and donuts.

It's been too long...........

OK so I am now in Tulsa, Oklahoma for some army training. At the same time I am managing to pick up some stuff for the gym and visit local affiliates.

First stop was CrossFit Tulsa, thanks to Brandon for making me welcome and letting me play with my new shoes.

I am here for a week before heading back to NZ so I hope to hit at least a couple more CrossFit gyms.

In the meantime Donna is holding the fort in NZ. Give her a call or stop by if you live close. A big thanks to Liz for making us both feel at home back in NZ :-)

Changes.............

Entryway to MaD CrossFit - hit the link and check out the new layout at MaD CrossFit as well.

Thanks to Jane for the stencils

The stereo gets some elevation

The dip stations look much better with a coat of paint on the timber supports

Transmission resumes...............

Sorry for the break in posts, I guess me going back to work and working at the gym have got in the way.


Pics from Fridays "Filthy 50" which I finished in 26:44

More to follow...................

Beds and dip bars.....

I finally got around to building the girls a new bed so I could have my 6 inch Plyo box back.

The girls enjoy their new bed!

I also installed one of the sets of dip bars, thanks again Ralph :-)

1 down 3 to go!

Bacon Bambi Explosion!!!!!!!!!!

Ralph requested a "Bacon Explosion" while he was visiting. So in order to reward his and Val's hard work today painting and laying floor at MaD CrossFit, I came up with a slight twist on the theme when I found venison sausages at the store. See the results below of a Bacon Bambi Explosion! Rated very well with the tasters as a "definitely would eat again, in fact lets have another one for dinner" :-)

The Finished Product:

The dark meat is the venison

The Process:

I used streaky bacon, 4 venison and 2 pork sausages, a mix of Moroccan spices and Dukkah as the rub and a hickory smoked BBQ sauce.
