Brainbike

“Cervélo is a combination of the Italian word for brain “cervello” and the french word for bike, “vélo”. So it’s a brainbike, or a bike with some extra thought put into it.”

….now, if it can just figure out how to make me faster on the flats!?

Working out the dye.

Though I wouldn’t recommend it for fun, looking at ‘inside’ pictures of our bodies is so interesting.   I had a contrast MRI of my hip on Thursday and am fascinated by the pictures they took, particularly the one where I can see the needle still sticking in.     Our bodies are cool.

The hip’s been a bit sore since my time in the MRI capsule - so I didn’t know how today would go.  I took it easy and imagined the dye working itself out of the joint.   Now for some stretching……..

Underwater groovin’

Santa brought me an underwater MP3 player for Xmas.  It sure kept me going today.   After the hip MRI, I decided to keep today to a swim.   My body felt sluggish so the tunes made all the difference…….. well, that and the promise of Ladro afterwards.  :-)

Hardest WOD yet.

Supersets of burpees (with a pushup at the bottom) and situps.

1 thru 10 then reverse.

Perhaps I should rethink doing a hill ride before going to crossfit? 

Ummm…nah!

Is it possible to be in love with a bike?

Maybe it’s a little unnatural how much I love my new bike…..  She still needs a name.

“She” cooked on my very hilly ride tonight.  (And I was rewarded for a few miles with a slight tail wind…. finally!)

Officially a member of ‘the skin sacrifice club’

I earned my stripes and officially became a member of ‘the club’ at crossfit.   Skin ripped off my palm while doing pullups in the WOD.    Oh yeah!  I’m IN!

**I chose NOT to do my swim workout after though.  I’m not that big of a sucker for punishment.

Big Boy weights

Felt like a bada$$ tonight.  Crossfit guru Jake put the ‘big boy’ weights on for my squats.   Oh yeah!  It’s that bada$$.

Old stompin’ grounds

Ran the old route around Martha Lake before heading to crossfit.  Nice to have a really hearty warmup…but jeez, it was cold outside!
