CrossFit: Day 18 of Bootcamp
A fun workout in prep for our second benchmark workout tomorrow.
It was a boys versus girls race workout, so Paul and I took on Marnie and Rosemary in:
- 100 Overhead Squats (25lbs bar)
- 200 Kettleball Swings (16kg)
- 300 Sledgehammer Tire Hits (12lbs sledge)Paul and I split the workout 50/50 and did it 19:31 and the girls miscounted and had to scramble right at the end and finished in 19:38. It was good time.
In other news our number one Mixed touring team was in need of a few players for this weekend’s tournament and I got the call to fill in. Should be a great tournament.

TUF wrap up / CrossFit Test
Sunday went better for MMV (ya, my tongue is out, so what?), 1-1 for the day. A loss to Big Hammers and a loss avenged against Quicksand.
Much better flow, much better defense. Here are the results.This morning was our CrossFit fitness test. We’re setting this as a benchmark and we’ll do this same workout at the end of Bootcamp for comparison.
The workout was:
8 intervals (20s work, 10s rest) of the following 4 exercises:
- Jumping Pullups
- Wall Ball (12lbs Medicine Ball)
- Ball Slams (12lbs Ball)
- Box Jumps (I used a 10 inch Box due to the ultimate tournament)I don’t remember my numbers, but all were above 80 and the jumping pullups number was 109. This may all be a lie though, as I don’t remember. :)

Games: Some were won, some were lost.
Toronto FC broke the ice with their first goal today. They beat Chicago Fire 3-1 in a very eventful game. I’m glad they finally scored, the atmosphere in the stadium was nuts. It was great to be there.
Mars Meets Venus, the mixed touring team I play for had our first 3 games in the TUF tournament. Things didn’t go according to plan, as we ended the day 0-3.
Game 1 was against Ottawa A, who were seeded #2 overall. They spanked us, 13-1. Ug-go-ly.
Game 2 was against London, it was marred by some jackass on their team calling fouls on most plays. I think it was 13 – 8, but it may have been worse.
Game 3 was against Quicksand from Waterloo. They were great people and we lost in the end 12 – 7.
It was fun.

CrossFit: Day 5 of Bootcamp.
Complete as many rounds in 15 minutes of:
- 16 Kettleball Swings (16kg) – .wmv yo!
- 12 Box Jumps (20 inch height)
- 8 Shuttle Runs (~20 meters, but that’s a guess)I did 4 rounds + 16 Kettleball Swings, 12 box jumps and 3.5 Shuttle runs.
179 lbs on the home scale.
I have a tournament this weekend. It should be interesting, no one really knows each other that well and we’ve drawn the second seeded team first. I’m also interested to see if 5 days of CrossFit will have an impact on my game. I’m pretty worn-out due to the 6am start time. I’ll get to sleep in this weekend, instead of a 5:30am alarm, I’ll have a 7:30am alarm. w00p.

I’m in! (in touring ultimate that is)
I was selected for a touring team under the Ultimate Experience. Hell yes. This should be a great experience, we have a tournament this coming weekend.
Man, I should get in shape then.

Taking it’s toll.
I picked up a knock on my left foot due to the sheer amount of Ultimate I’ve been playing due to tryouts. Open Tryouts and Mixed (Monster) this past weekend.
Hopefully I make a team.

CrossFit: fitness at the next level.
Laura bought me a membership to CrossFit Toronto for my birthday. From all that I’ve read about it, it seems like fitness at an entirely different level.
This will be great as I attempt to tour in Ultimate this year. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, as tryouts start this weekend.

TUC All-nighter Tournament: 3rd place.
After 4 games starting at 1am, we finished up 2 – 1 – 1 and in third. Not bad at all, but I was 2nd last year.

Fartlek and Ultimate Frisbee Update 3
I’m watching “I Bleed Black” right now as I get ready to go to a fund raiser that Laura and two friends are running (Breast Cancer).
While watching all the hot outdoor Ultimate action I started to wonder if all my Fartlek work will pay off for outdoor. It’s definitely working for indoor, but the two games are quite different when it comes to intensity. Indoor is quick-point, so play starts immediately after a point is scored, so you’re always on the go. Outdoor gives you a lot more time to recover after a point. My guess is that I’ll see a nice boost in outdoor as well, but we’ll have to wait about a month to see.
I figure that the next thing to work on it sport specific strength training.
A couple of observations about I Bleed Black:
- they swear a lot
- they had a surprising number of really bad high fives, awkward and embarrassing :)
- they dive on d like crazy… really amazing stuff
