Other members – A is for Amy

Amy. Has an omnipresence about her. Always immaculately turned out and has a wicked/cheeky sense of humour. She alleges not to pull faces when swinging kettlebells and sweats like a horse, with her tenacious work ethic.
In this picture she is looking a bit rough and not trying very hard.I think she might be chewing an m and m.

Tues 23rd no WoD

Off to London and not back until 7, so missing the session.

Have a confession to make. Rachel found me doing something in the bathroom the other day. I was spending rather too long looking at myself in the mirror! Weight has gone up a Kg or so recently but I think it may be extra muscle.
Check out my latest trousers – not fitted into anything like these for over 20 years!

Mon 22nd

Great session with Rudds at 6pm.

Worked with Adrian and Paul on squats. Worked up to 90kg and felt good. Practised a dump too.

7pm crew got to row instead of running in the wet. I think Rudds is getting soft. Yes, Amy is stationary.

Sat 20th Best session ever?

Wonderful Saturday session and I didn’t even lift a single weight! Zara finally attended the Crossfit Kids. So proud that she conquered her fears, listened to instruction and tried her best. Most importantly she had fun.
Big thanks to Sarah and Rudds.

Went down at 18.45 to see Pete and Rudds doing some big lifts. Warmed up and did some front squats and slow bw deadlifts.

Fully attended 7am session with Pete.

80 partner wall ball warm up – no drops.
Fun midline section including lots of nut clenching, Clare too.

Partner WoD with Fraser. 15mins OMEM 40kg thruster x2.
Felt good and we sneaked it up to 50kg half way through.

Great start to a Friday once again.
