My forearms have been dead since Fran. It wasn't even that many pull-ups! Last night I did an Invictus workout with the boys. We did 6 three position snatches from the ground, the hang, and the high hang @ 70lbs. They felt really good. I think hang snatches are a good way to get quick under the bar and they feel so solid when you land them. Then we did ring dips with a 2 second hold at the top and strict pull-ups. By the time I made it to the actual workout my arms were toast! The wod we did was:

Row 500m
50 kettlebell swings @ 53lbs
30 pullups (suppose to be chest to bar- yeah right!)
Row 500m (again!)
my time: 13:30

It was tough. I liked the kettlebell swings but 50 @ 53lbs was a lot for me. I literally couldn't even do one chest to bar pull-up so I did regular pull-ups. Bobby made me feel better when he said towards the end of the pull-ups he was doing one at a time. A great workout though!

I know you're getting sick of me saying this BUT Im gonna say it anyway! I AM SO STOKED FOR CANADA! There are a lot of fun things (besides the obvious-lululemon galore and the race!) like Fun. I mean the band FUN. giving a free concert after the race! WHATTT. Im so stoked. It will be a blast with the group of gals Im going with too! They are an amazing bunch of ladies! There is also going to be am and pm yoga on the beach! The race goes all the way around the island and through two bays. It really does look like an unreal course. Im sure my memory card will be filled to the brim with photos but the end.

Here is a little shot of Vancouver. We will be running on the water's edge where the green is most of the way I think.

Last week I managed to squeeze in 24 miles! Im planning running at least that much this week as well. Then starting to cut back next week. Jami M. and I ran a good 9 miles on Saturday and we took some yummy energy gummies with us that were organic and made with honey! They tasted good and didn't glue your mouth shut. I think Im going to grab a few for the race!
