Off to Fuengirola

Longer time than usual since last post and a bit shorter than it normally would be after such a long hiatus for reasons. It also has fewer pictures than you would normally expect. That's for reasons as well.

Sunday started with 7 rounds of 7 reps of 5 (7 would've been more interesting) movements. I managed first round unbroken but then I got a bit tired. Used lifting shoes. Not sure if it was a good idea since I feel they slowed me down on burpees.

Wallballs and barbells were the Tuesday treat. Wallballs felt better than usual. I was still barely able to do the last 25, but normally I reach that same state much earlier. Barbell movement felt OK. I have trouble with my grip with snatch grip deadlift and I was almost too sweaty to hold on to the bar during snatches in the end but I managed....



















Wednesday's wod consisted of 8 rounds of 200 m run  3 C2B, 5 pullups and 7 T2B which felt surprisingly good despite complete lack of barbell movements. I was still able to do C2B for the last round.

Friday's Team WOD was an oldie but a goodie. Ropeclimbs, partner deadlifts, partner pushups, wallclimbs, medball over bar, sync pullups and burpees. I had to scale ropeclimbs since I want to have working elbows in Fuengirola, but the rest of the stuff felt great. I even managed to get the medball over bar most times.

Grizabel was a lot of fun despite all the running. My 25 snatches@60kg is the second time I am doing more than just a couple at that weight within a WOD and this time no lifting shoes. Felt reasonably good most of the way




















Sunday was a 3 person amrap of 100 cal row, 100 front rack lunges, 100 toes through rings and 100 thrusters. Both lunges and thrusters suck. By the second round I didn't have the energy to row well and no grip for toes through rings.

Monday I went for endurance instead of the regular wod. It was an amrap of 100 deadlift, run, 100 hpc, run, 100 front squats, run, 100 jerks, run. We managed to get 80 hpc on the second round. Weights were low so I was both deadlifting and hang power cleaning with my back which is faster at those weights, but I need to make sure I don't do that when it gets heavy or bad things will happen....

Last week Hamnmästaren (the yellow building at Bagers plats) reopened for the year. It used to be one of my favourite places but now it has roughly half as many taps as before and the beer fridge is gone making it much less exciting.

On Saturday I visited Swedish home brewing championship which was a very interesting event with a lot of different beers. Some of them were good and some not so good. Some of them were normal and some of them really weird. The most weird one was the "pizza beer" where you could get extra topping as seen on the right. I went for mushroom and the beer had actual mushroom taste.

My favourite one didn't make it into pictures, but it won one of the medals. Ginger Rogers Ginger Ale is an ale with added ginger which makes it much more interesting than that kind of ales normally are.
