08/04-08/11 Vacation!

Was on vacation from 8/4 to 8/11 in Lake Tahoe.  Brought workout gear but ended up never doing an "official" workout.  But was active much of the time there:

8/5 - swam in the pool some (I use the term "swam" loosely), did flips off the diving board, played tennis.

8/6 - lazy river down the Truckee...  fought off a bunch of little ninjas on the fallen tree

8/7 - Sand Harbor - paddling and jumping on and off big rocks

8/8 - 4 mile standup paddleboard adventure

8/9 - a bunch of pullups at Squaw Valley, a 2 mile run/hike, rock climbing on the ceiling (arms fried!)

8/10 - Sand Harbor again!  Same rock/water fun, and also rode a Sea Doo for quite some time.  Arms tired.

Ready to get back at it again!  Starting another competition soon!  http://diamondofthetough.com/

08/01 WOD

10 minute AMRAP

7 DB bent over rows
7 DB cleans
7 DB push presses

Use 50# dumbbells.

Chose this one since I'm still at the hotel gym and had limited equipment.  Ran 1 mile @6mph before (0.25 mile cool down too), did shoulder/hip/leg mobility stuff, and 10 dips.

I had done this WOD before on 6/26 so it was nice to have something to compare to.  I did 7 full rounds with 35# dumbbells.  This time did 7 full rounds + 7 bent over rows + 7 cleans + 3 push presses.  Nice increase.
