Quick up date since I've not been on for awhile. Not a lot to report as for poker. Been pretty standard up and down so pretty much break even. Doesn't really bother me as I knew I'd have to tune things up once I started playing again. Trying to identify my mistakes and correct them. It's pretty frustrating not having HM to look back and review hh's etc. I need to spend more time on Ace Poker Drills. I try and spend a little time on it a couple days a week but I need to just make it mandatory to go through a few drills each day BEFORE I play.
As for the fitness front:
The CrossFit open is complete for me. I did the final workout the other day and ended up with only 32 rounds. I say only but again it was really much more than I expect to get. The workout was 15 100lbs thrusters then 15 chest to bars rinse and repeat. We had a 4 minute time cap but if you completed 3 rounds or 90 reps within the four minutes you then got an additional 4 minutes and if you got to 180 another 4 minutes and so on.
Well if you aren't familiar with thruster it's basically a clean squat making sure you go below parallel then you come out of the squat and thrust the bar overhead to a locked out position. You must lock out your knees, hips and arms. Chest to bars are a pull up but you have to make contact with the bar below your clavicle or collar bone. Well I had only ever done like two prior so for me to complete a complete set of 15 then get back on the bar for a couple more thrusters was pretty damn good.
Like I mentioned before in a earlier post I didn't go into this thinking I was going to beat anybody other than myself. I can honestly say I did each of the five workouts to the best of my ability. Now I have a year to train and see how well I improve next year. I may enter a competition next winter just for the hell of it depending on how they structure the masters division.
Hope all is well for you all!
