And Spidermonkey is back…

Whew… it’s been quite a long hiatus between posts… between having to post on the PCF blog, on my G-mail calendar, I think I let the online blogging take a backseat.  But, in realizing that it is much easier for me to find my last benchmark on my own blog rather than searching through the tens of comments on the PCF blog, I’ve re-discovered the value in posting WOD performances on here.  To keep me motivated (and the reader entertained), I’ll try to post thoughts about Crossfit as well.  Maybe even post pictures (when I figure out how to do these things – I am so behind the times in online and social media).

Since the last post, I’ve competed in the DC/VA/WV Sectional Competition on March 27-28, 2010 (see picture – thanks to Nicole Bedard for taking amazing photos of the athletes).  It was an amazing experience, as I came away pleasantly surprised with my performance.  I’ll recap the experience in a later post (soon).

In the month following Sectionals, I’ve been taking it relatively easy… easing my way back into doing normal WODs, which I had missed since we were focused on Games Prep.  I lost a few pounds (went down to 148) after Sectionals due to a stomach virus (affectionately termed PCF dysentery) compounded with me eating normally (you may recall I was on the “see-food” diet).  However, I like being over 150, so I’ve been slowly but surely putting back the weight (currently at 152).  Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like I lost any strength with the weight loss and I have been able to complete most WODs as rx’d.

It’s time to get back in the game.
