Swimwear by Brazilian label Osklen/Lenny:


My next shoe buy from PeepToe Shoes:

Only after I get me an outfit for Harbourlife, unless I manage to pull something together from the gear I already have. Will definitely investigate this option tomorrow, which is very much in agreement with my bank account at the moment. I will definitely need to buy some cheapo pair of funky sunnies and a little shoulder bag.
Bondi markets. Sunday.

Power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

20, 30, 35, 37.5, 40, 42.5, 42.5kg

On the first 42.5kg, I landed really awkwardly. Technique was messy, the bar came down on the right first and pretty much landed on my collarbone! The last rep...

Well, I fell backwards and the bar dropped OVER me and rolled upwards, stopping over the top of my neck. Luckily I had the 10kg plates on each side holding the bar JUST over my body. It was, hands down, my most embarassing moment at the they realised that I was okay because I sat up and started laughing. Phew.

Even before I tried lifting the 42.5kg, I was so afraid! I let fear get the better of me which ended up messsing up my technique. I guess it'll be a while before I have the courage to give 42.5kg another go.

CFHQ WOD:
Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
50 Squats
19:52:83 minutes

Time to beat: 19:53 minutes

My time for the last time I completed this workout and today's time cannot be compared! I had to stop during my third run and the girl who was timing me didn't stop the timer until a short while later. My friend in the Body Pump class had dislocated her shoulder and was asking for me so I could tell our Dragon Boat coach that she wouldn't be able to race tomorrow.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I beat my time though. Possibly shaved at leat 20 seconds off it! I was powering through the last 50 squats and it hurt.

5 rounds:
20 30k sumo deadlifts
20 squats

I didn't want to do the CFHQ WOD today and wasn't going to work out until I thought of this workout which I could do at home using the dumbell my dad has lying around. Wasn't that hard however, it started getting heavy on the lungs on the third round.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
10 Pull-ups
25kg Thruster, 10 reps

Looking for a workout that'll kick my ass!

CFHQ WOD:
With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

Snatch and clean practice.

Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

20, 30, 32.5, 32.5, 35, 37.5, 40(F)kg

I'm hoping to get close to 40kg for this one considering the weights I lifted for the strict press, push press and push jerk.

NO! I failed on 40kg...
