There was a big hockey game on - Canada vs Slovakia - and I was the only one in class, so got some great coaching from Jesse, worked on kipping swings, and got some handstand advice. Good class.

Monday 22nd Feb
Worked out in the condo gym.
I practised double unders and handstands. I got super frustrated with skipping at first, couldn't do a single double under, but then I got the rope length sorted out, and in the end, manage to intersperse 3 double unders with some singles in a set, twice! I tried handstands several times, with some help to invert, and the second last attempt was a pretty nice hold! I need to get bold, and kick up to the wall harder so I can practise on my own too.
Finished off with a few dumbbell swings, KB style. Used 25lb dumbbell, the 20lb one literally felt too light to use!
The box is closed today and tomorrow, so no class til Wednesday.

Foundations 2
Skills:
Pushups
Burpees
Wall ball
Rowing
WOD:
Row 2000m for time
9:37.1
Heather sort of congratulated me for being done my Foundations, and instead of be happy and feeling accomplished, I complained that I finished last everytime. I was a bad sport, and I feel awful that I didn't appreciate what Heather was saying.
Grrrr, instead of being happy about something, I chose to look at the most (the only?) negative thing. I chose to focus on the negative. I had felt great earlier on, had fun and tried really hard, but I finished last in time, and that's all I took away from class. That just won't do. Heather and the group in class were wonderful, and I didn't just let them be wonderful. I feel like I tarnished the final foundations class for myself, instead of having pride in what I'd completed.
The only way to get better is to not quit and to try harder when I want to quit.
Cultivate grace. Stop my ego from smashing me.

Foundations 5
Skills:
Shoulder press
Push press
Push jerk
I seemed to get the movements right fairly easily, in part because I didn't seem to have the "range of motion" issues that were common in the class, an effect of lives lived I suppose. I did get confused with the push jerk, overthinking the components I think!
WOD:
21-15-9 for time:
Push press (33lb)
KB swings (12kg)
Abmats
7:36 ...1 second slower than the next to last person :(

my shins looked all scraped up, but they settled pretty quickly. I knew when I was doing to movement wrong, but couldn't always get it right! Running was sucking wind.
