Bike commute day!! The last few weeks I’ve gone places after riding so it was kind of nice to just get to ride home. Though it felt like I had headwind the whole way home and I felt tired. It was a nice temp though, I think 72 and partly cloudy.
Not exactly how I planned my morning. Showed up at CrossFit and the coach didn’t show up. We stood around and talked and waited for a little while before deciding to call it a morning. We got an email apologizing later. First time in my 6 years that this has happened and is totally understandable.
I almost went home and then remembered that I could just go to the Bouldering Project. I had planned on going after work, but since I had an offsite meeting I had plenty of time to go ahead and go in the morning.
I did mostly what was written for the day’s workout. I did 500m warmup on the rower and then 3 pullups each minute for 6 minutes.
I then did a snatch warmup. And jumped into a snatch sequence. I forgot the time box and did get all of them into squat vs power Snatch. I did 5×45, 4×65, 3×85 (missing and retrying the 3rd one), 2×95 again missing the 2nd and getting it. I loaded to 100 and wasn’t able to get under it. I tried once more and stopped.
I did 3×3 pistols with each leg for the fun of it.
Then I did a bunch of climbing routes. I tried a couple green ones and did a bunch of red and yellow. It was fun. Some of the routes were tricky. Watching others who are so fluid and smooth as they moved on the wall.
Who is ready for the Open?
Kids and I did an Orienteering “race” at the Severs Fall Festival in the morning. It was fun to make it through the corn maze, hay bale maze, and grounds via 20 some controls. The corn maze was a little tricky. We had a lot of fun doing it. They did a good job putting the controls in fun places and we ended the event going down a short zipline!
After the race we got to stay and enjoy the festival before it was open to the general public which was quite nice!
In the afternoon I went on a leisurely bike ride with the wife and we rode to Cedar Lake and back so about 6 miles. The fall colors are great!
45 degrees! A great morning to ride. Long sleeves with a vest and full fingered gloves. It was just getting light out too. Through the hour ride I only saw one other rider on the trails. On the way back home I saw a bunch in the parking lot.
I opted to ride the MORC trails and did all but Brownie. It felt great and the fall temps and colors are coming!
7.8 miles in 1:05
I rode to work and then happy hour and then to a show at the Trailhead! It was cool riding wearing my sweatshirt for some of the riding. There was sprinkles on the ground but I didn’t get wet at all in the morning. It rained during the day and that was it.
I took a few pics of some flowers with the skyline in the background!
