Nice!! Congrats on the 1000th affiliate!

I am coming out of the closet to all of you.

"I love GIRLS!!!".

Don't tell my wife...

just got home from dead lifts.... didn't need to see this

That's effing cool.

I need this.

After deadlifts, bodyweight is good. I'm going to do this right now.

Oh no, not again.

That's BADASS! I remember when there was only like 3 affiliates... The CF Nation grows stroronger by the day!

Nice...Im just going to do Mondays WOD...that will be great for tomorrow...

1000. Awesome!

Actually I like all the girls, being 100% lesbian myself.

HELP!!! my deadlifts are not improving at all, 350 is hard work, all time best was 485 - any suggestions...anyone?

WOW,

Congratulations on your 1000th affiliate :@)

Sincerely,

Marc

Since I haven't workout in the last 3 days, would it be a good idea to replace the push ups by dips ?

I usually like to stick to the plan but I feel I could use more work than push ups.

Thanks !

YOU ROCK JOE! great photo. congrats on being the 1000th affiliate:)

What an appropriate name for the 1000th Affiliate :)

Second time with Barbara and I remember it was pretty killer. Gotta beat 21:17

fat tony-
we were a 20# pr team for the deadlifts, let's do the same for this one!! Strong Lil Pony I'm calling you in too! :)

anyone try barbara without the 3 minutes rest... straight through? Talk about fun....

gonna try to do this at a busy gym with only two places to do pull-ups.. and one is in the middle of the cable cross-over (always busy).. gonna make my time alot slower than it could! DO WORK!!
I love you Barbara!!!

Day 24 post-op

Physical therapy with Chris at 11:30AM-12:30PM. Moved into an active flexion ROM an isometric external rotation, and an isometric internal rotation exercise. Added 3 new exercises to my 2x daily PT exercises:

Lying broomstick raise: start lying down with a broomstick held with a double pronated grip, arms straight, and stick at thigh level. Raise the stick with straight arms as far up as I can without sharp pain, and back down to thighs. 10 reps.

Internal isometric: bend elbow to 90 degrees, and push on a wall with your palm gently, hold for 5 seconds, relax, repeat for 10 reps.

External isometric: bend elbow to 90 degrees, and push on a wall with the back of your hand gently, hold for 5 seconds, relax, repeat for 10 reps.

12:30 PM: DL WOD

Modifications:

1-arm Deadlift done with a 15 kg Olympic standard bar for women's competition (easier to grip due to it having a smaller diameter), bar in standard DL starting position with grip between the shins.

5:30 PM:

Flinched wrong and braced with my left shoulder. Pain in the surrounding areas of the shoulder. Ouch. Followed this incldence with a round of the PT exercises, Advil 800 mg, and 20 min of ice. ROM is okay, pain is clearly increased. Sucks.

Doing it right - healing it up ONCE!

congrats Joseph on getting the 1000th affiliate. Great to see Crossfit growing stronger by the minute.

Herm - careful on those WOD's

Bird - where have you been?

love that the 1000th affiliate is in Philly:) Tomorrows WOD, last time I hung out with Barbara, I remember lying on the gym floor for 30 min after praying that the world would either end or just stop spinning. Hmmm...

Herm-what types on GH mobs has your PT performed? Research encourages some grade I or II early on to facilitate pain control and improve joint circulation. Have they done any mobs on your scapulae too? My personal twist I provide to my patients b/c some many have tight lats and serratus anterior that a couple scapulae mobs makes a wonderful difference.

Not trying to say one way is better than another, I just hate to see a fellow colleague in "bad" pain. Keep up the great work you are performing so far!!

Yes! I've been waiting. This was one of the first WODs I did when I started Crossfit two months ago. Time to measure my progress.

Thanks for all the LOVE guys, its been awesome seeing the support I have been receiving. I was totally shocked when I got the phone call from Coach Glassman telling me the news. That in itself was awesome. I hope to meet, keep in touch, and train with many of you!!!!!

All this is going to make Barbara a breeze tomorrow, well maybe not a breeze........

Thanks Again!!!

WOW! CrossFit LOVE....

I love it! Finally a CF gym I can relate too!

LOVELOVELOVE

Barbara owns the honor of the worst I have ever felt post WOD.

Bring it on..... (i guess)

#27 Rookie
Nice work once again! Nice to have you setting the bar early again! I assume your knee is back to normal?

1000 affiliates and still growing, love this one

Wow 1000 affiliates! Not only are there more Crossfit affiliates every month I see the rates are growing and going through the roof! Love charges $375 clams a month and no box! Wow, folks in Philadelphia must have some serious money to throw around!

Just wanted to say "Thanks" to Crossfit St. Louis for hosting the O'lifting Cert with Coach "B". What an incredible weekend, we were fortunate that Coach B had a staff of National Level Competitive Lifters with him to help instruct us. The entire training session was phenomenal and we had a blast. Coach Burgener is truly a master and my ass is kicked (I'm Old)but if you have the opportunity I highly recommend you attend this Cert! Thanks again Coach B.

Surrey - Its Private Groups to make it clear for everyone.
Consider it personal training with your friends and its in your home gym....

this is my favorite workout followed by joshie. too bad my hand is broken :( FML for six weeks

Congratulations on the 1000th affiliate!

Eric - the knee is feeling really good. had physio about a week ago and sorted me out and Jakers got me on to some voltaren gel which is working really well. nearly back to 100% but still have slight niggles from time to time. how re things with you?

eric gohl--

let'so it man. i'm on the couch with the laptop as we speak because I'm coughing so much I don't want to keep my girlfriend up because she has to leave at 5 am, so I hope I can get a good 20 + min of cough-free time to give Barbara my best. I got to beat 25:08.

get some

S'more--good luck out there.

rookie--you are a beast, good to see you have healed so well

Oh no, not again!

I'm ready for this! I was only able to get four rounds completed last time. Looking forward to tomorrow 0500 at globo!

1000!!! AWESOME!!!! Hit "Cindy" hard tonight with jumping pull-ups 18 rounds plus, 5 pus's and 10 push-ups. (((hugs))) Herm !! (to your right shoulder, of course!)

Ah thanks Joe, for the clarification I was seriously baffled. Best of luck to you and your new affilate! Cool pic looks like a box jump with letters stacked on top!

man.... in a sick and twisted way i love this workout!
im spewing because i lost my results from the last round.... can only very very roughly remember them, but im sure ill pr =)
also congratz to Joseph and the whole crossfit nation! the 1000 mark!!! you beauty!

OK, since I'm a newbie, I'm going to stick to the plan and forget the dips. Have to work on time. Pull ups are going to be the weak link in this one. Practice, paractice, paractice ! Now go to sleep to get ready !

OK - I am new at this and still just learning the ropes of the WODs. 20 Pullups I'll have to do in sets of 5 do I just keep at it until I get 20 done for each set? Whatever time it takes? Thanks for any feedback....

just wanted to let share with all over the weekend I did the crossfit kettlebell level one cert. this weekend at the blackbox in NYC, Jeff Martone is a freakin great, humble and a extremely funny dude! very well versed...very cool man.

thank you black box and staff for being such great host. Its was a honor to meet Hari,Court,Allison,Jascinto, and Brian. You guys were really cool down to earth people. Court,and Jacinto-you are the man!! Nice crew came down, if anyone is thinking about it and has any doubt-its another awesome cert. Jeff is hands down one of the best kettlebell bells instructors and with his humor he made the time pass snd learning much more fun. they really work had to make sure you get the technique down. the staff that came down to help Jeff, Mike, Keith, Melissa and Ray all had a great eye at picking up on these little things to tweak the missing elements that really help you get it-most of all they were all very patient. :)

I got to meet to other crossfitters and that made it even nicer....thank you all, trainers, staff and everyone there it was a great pleasure meeting you.A wonderful learning experience. I wish i would've gotta around more to meet the rest of you. good luck to all in your endeavors!

Come down soon for a fun wod with us!

be safe,
Lisa-crossfit suffolk

Im so stoked for this workout!!! She's going to be a killer.

I busted my ass on Cindy on Saturday, and I was hurting for a few hours after (huffing and puffing back home in 8 degree weather doesn't help), but Barbara sounds like the real deal. Looking forward to beating the hell out of myself tomorrow.

I just noticed this exact day last year was "Linda", and it made me think of one person...

s'more, where are you?!?! We miss you :(

My second WOD ever!! Did Helen yesturday (I was a day behind) Can't wait to try this one!!

anyone watch flight of the chonchords? They should rename this one "brahbrah" in honor of those guys....

hi CrossFiters..

Greetings from Ecuador

Let my give you some good news!

Has been born the s'more daughter Marcela Valentina Andrade Sanchez!

He sends greetings, hugs and as always bad english for all, jeje.

Please be patient, we will have him back soon.

I moved my hands closer together on the bar. I, too, had some shoulder issues due to sports overuse. However, when I move my hands a little closer together for pullups, I can kip w/o it hurting.
Hope this helps.

Comment #48 Lisa

I want to echo what Lisa says in her post about the Kettlebell Cert this past weekend at CrossFit NYC (The Black Box). What a great crew Jeff Martone assembled for this Cert. It was a fun two days and Jeff made it that way with his sense of humor (Martoneisms) and, more important, his leadership by example. Jeff made sure to demonstrate each move multiple times using 70 lb KB's. He easily could have used a lighter weight, but it's those details that inspire. All I can say is that it was a pleasure to work with such a talented and professional crew. I also want to mention the crew at the Black Box. You guys made it a lot of fun as well. If you have not ventured to the Black Box, it is a trip. I arrived in the city on Friday night and wanted to check out the facility ahead of time to make sure I wouldn't get lost. So here I am on 26th street in Manhattan trying to locate the place, when I noticed a bunch of people running down a flight of stairs and heading out into the street to run. It dawned on me that these people had to be CrossFitters because who in their right mind would be out running in mid-town Manhattan on a Friday night? Yup, it was those crazy CF'ers doing the Friday WOD. Anyway, I had a great time, and met some truly great folks - Lisa, George, Keith, Melissa, Mike, Ray, Allison, Court, Torch, etc....Thanks!

#92 - All rounds sub 3 minutes...Awesome Kimmie!

I started getting into CF because of my Sensei and friends in Japense JJ class are all in. First time I actually timed myself. Modified because I don't have a pullup bar yet. Did the rest as stated.

R1 - 5:00 ~
R2 - 6:00 ~
R3 - 8:00 ~ really in pain
R4 - 6:00 ~
R5 - 5:00 ~

I'll be coming back day after day for sure!

Glad to get another crack at this so soon! I botched the timing last time and didnt rest. I'm going for PR's on every round!! 3,2,1... GO!

Good day for me and I hope for everyone. Just recovered from becoming ill last week.

We do the main site WOD tomorrow.

BrainR (#24) - Straight through took me about 21 min and the intervals take me 3-4 min per round. Interestingly, the rx'd version is more painful since I never really reach muscle failure.

Felt good first round. All rounds after that broke up a little of everything. I think my 13-14 hour days caught up to me. I was just smoked all over in a way that I haven't been in a long time. Am thinking only did so well b/c I have improved so much. Let's do better next time. Looking forward to rest day tomorrow.

Each round was the PR for that particular round and all of the rounds were better than rounds 3,4,&5 last time. Yeah progress! Congrats to those of you with the seriously smoking times and those of you who added weight.

How about playing real sports AND trying to be the best at exercising too :) both are pretty fun and functional.

1/2 rx'd Babs - 10 pull ups, 20 push ups 40 sit ups 50 squats.
3:43/3:34/3:43/3:45/ friend showed up with crazy kids so couldnt finish last set (SO FRUSTRATING!! But I love my friends)

Had my first experience with coaching/training someone today. I took him through Cindy and he did great! Training someone is hard and anxiety provoking. Teaching someone helps with your own mastery, and I am psyched to start down this road!

5:26, 7:47, 7:36 then I pussed out because I was nauseas. I swear the situps make me nauseas

MMhhh i let the clock running so i include the 3 minutes of rest en come to a total of 29 minutes.
I thought that was the drill.
Now most people they have quick rounds but do they count the rest as well? It just doesnt sound the same.

**I figured I would include both, considering some people are only including their time without rest it appears.

I could've done better I think had I done kipping pull ups, but I wanted to see how well I could do going the strict dead hang route. Situps slowed me down the most though.

Oh, I almost forgot my stats:

m/24/5'8''/160lbs

Last time I bonked on round 3 and had to do pushups from the knees for the remaining rounds.
Previous: 3:55, 5:41, 7:37, 6:00, 5:45

Today it was as RX'd until I met pukie for the first time.

Round 1: 3:33
Round 2: 4:52
Round 3: 5:34
Round 4: 6:10
Round 5: 15 pullups then pukie!

I think i drank to much water and the butterfly kips and sit ups brought it back up for a 2nd visit.

I tried to get all under 4 min. So close. I was able to do all pull-ups and sit-ups unbroken. I had a few very short breaks in the push-ups. Squats are my slowest and my weakness.

What am I going to do ...

Threw up after round 3 and couldn't complete the WOD. Pullups are way to tough for me right now. I'm going to have to scale the WODs where there is pullups.

Losing 10 pounds would also be suited. Will add some cardio at the end of WODs, when I feel I can do it !

Question :Would it be a good idea to work on regular pull ups and make it to 15 before considering working on kipping pullups ?

Thanks for your answers !

I'm going to have to go buy gloves or something, our pullup bar has grooves or something on it and it's tearing up my hands from the kipping pullups, but at least I have gone away from the assist machine. I'm using chalk, but thats no use.

When this came up in Jan, I scaled it to 20 knee pushups and 30 jumping pullups since I wanted more work on the pullups and less on the pushups.

This time I attacked Barbara with 10 kipping pullups and 30 knee pushups, everything else as Rx'd. I had a fear I'd be at this until Saturday if I attempted each round with 20 full pullups, but I probably could have done it. Next time!

Went Right over to do DL. However, you know that feeling when you first wake up in the morning and if you tried to write something but you just can’t make your hands work? This was my hands after Helen, along with being pretty nauseous so it was a little tough to do them so back to back

DL 185x2-205-215-225-230 (tied PR)- 230F (actually just gave up and dropped it)

LOL, I was calling myself a dork. When I do met-cons hard, I have a hard time counting after awhile. When I go for ME, I have a hard time adding. Then I panic thinking I lost all ability to add simple numbers. So when I got 230 (everything got all crazy looking after this lift and slightly black, thought I almost passed out), I looked again and I THOUGHT I had 240 on the bar. I was like Ahh!!! Then I looked and I was late for work, and I was like Ahhh! So when I went up for 230 again, I just dropped it, deciding not to try, still thinking 240 was on the bar.

Very sad today…my mom/stepfather have been staying with me since the beginning of Jan. They left today for home :(

come out of the hopper.

My 44 yr old boss took me to task on the Barbara workout. We both finished within a few seconds on each set:

1> 3:31
2> 3.38
3> 3.38
4> 3.39
5> 3.28

I always got out to a strong lead on the pullups/pushups. She then caught up during the crunches. And we raced on the squats....

Only did 4 rounds then the pullups on my 5th round cuz i was called into doa worlkout with my squad leader.

It seems that kipping pull ups are essential to completing this workout. I tried to do it with dead hang pull ups and I got about ten each round. Am I right? Is mastering kipping essential to Crossfit?

Thanks. This is my third month doing CF, and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I have a question i can now sort of string together about 5 "kipping" pullups not pretty should i try and do all the PU's for this WOD unassisted and take more time or do as many kipping and the rest assit (band/jump)???? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can't wait for the cert to help with my kips!!

Did not finish, had to leave for work. Core was smoked! I guess because of deadlifts previous workout?

Coming off a short, violent bout with stomach flu, still too weak to do this girl justice.

Instead, ran 4 min. easy, 2x1 min. striders at 11.0 on the tread, snatch and jerk drills with box jumps, 3x 1HPS-5OHS 95-95-95, PJ 5x3 95-95-115-115-115, FS 4x5 135-185-185-185(ROM deteriorating).

Felt weak throughout, but technique has improved a lot on the OHS making some small improvement possible. OHS and handstands are the two moves I absolutely dread to see coming out of the hopper. Everything else I have at least an uneasy truce with, but I plan to focus on those two moves this month.

I have been decreasing the weight assist by 5 pounds every workout. Confident as Rx'd is in my future.

as rx'd

30:41 (rest time included)

John #293

Short answer, yes, you are going to all 4 of those exercises 5 times.

Today's WOD will have you cycle through that complete set of 4 exercises 5 times. Time each cycle/ round.

So the WOD broken down looks like this:

Round 1: 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps, 50 squats - stop & record time it took you to complete this round

then rest 3 minutes

Round 2: 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps, 50 squats - stop & record time it took you to complete this round

Rest 3 minutes

Etc. for rounds 3, 4, and 5

Make sense?

1 x 25 situps with 25lbs. on chest
2 x 8 *** to ankles squats with 165 lbs.

Overall, it was a better effort, though last time my first two rounds were faster than any round I did today. So I took this as I didn't go full bore and wear myself out half way through, albeit it felt like it as I was going through, or my work capacity has increased. Probably a combination of both.

Eric- I was a little scared (me asusta) when I started, didn't want to run outta gas, so I took it slow and then keep gearing up. I knew my previous time so that helped keep me focused.

Also my music was kILLEr. Kept me dialed in to that deep well of intensity - no more anger re: you-know-who (who is still texting, thankfully no more cowboy pix) just an amazing amount of ferocity. Is that a word? :)

this one definitely beat my @ss. did all 5 rounds as rx'd, but wasn't able to time the rounds, only the 3 min rest periods.

To Comment #403 MarcusG

Call me a hater, call me jealous, call me what you will...but I am calling you out on this. This forum is always positive and encouraging, but sometimes someone posts something that just seems to defy the laws of physics and goes beyond the realm of human performance. Either you are the world's most elite athlete or you are a liar. With a performance like that I expect you to be the CrossFit 2009 champion. Why don't you prove me wrong and post a video of this performance?

#482 Bubba- Once you've been in each others weddings, it's actually the law that you have to stay friends no matter what the Crossfit workout. Sorry sir, you are family!

Managed to kip first 10 in a row (PR for reps). Push ups suffered today. Sit ups all unanchored without ab mat. Squats were my best ever - got at least the first 20 reps in each round before having to break reps!

I know there is a method to the madness and since I have not been setting the world on fire with my times I should have just done this WOD as Rx'd. However, I just felt I needed to bump it up a bit today.

I completed this WOD, Barbara, while wearing my 20 Lb vest. I also worked on yesterdays WOD, Dead-Lifts, since I missed out. College class and homework. Did DL during todays 3 minute breaks.

1. 9:40 + 315 Lb DL
2. 11:12 + 325 Lb DL
3. 11:27 + 335 Lb DL
4. 15:51 + 345 Lb DL

Low Back slowed me during the GHD Sit Ups. I slowed down and had a conversation with a fire fighter who was rather interested in what I was doing. He said he had been watching saying, "That's Intense".

5. 11:50 + 355 Lb DL

All Pull-Ups completed via Dead-Hang since I am getting ready for the USMC (PFT) physical fitness test.

My first complete crossfit workout since slamming into a tree snowboarding on 19 Jan. I have a grade 2 tear in my MCL, a minor tear in my ACL, a tear in the Minscus, and a severe bone bruise.

Squats were 3/4 of the way to 90 deg to protect the knee.

I look forward to any more guidance on training with injuries. Joe

Totally defeated, but not a quitter, I rested on the gym floor (not quite fetal but I thought about it)and finally completed the last set and round 5 at the 59:16 mark. Control tempo or lay wasted.

Pullups are my nemesis!

Whew. Paying for this today. New to crossfit, with not a lot of elite athletic training, so I started small (chopped 10 reps off PUs, pu's, and Situps). Found my times low, and I was feeling alright, so I upped it to Almost Rx (15 Pullups instead of 20). Everything unbroken except the last set off pull ups. Loving Crossfit!

I had to rest for a few seconds to do my final 5 pull-ups in the final round. Great workout though. I felt pretty lightheaded by round 4.

i think
kipping pullups

i would seriously question the quality of the reps on the 1:43 per round guy, especially the 1:39 set. i did all sets unbroken, no breathers, with maybe a one second transition time between exercises. this workout was a sintch, yet i only got 2:00 sets. uhhh, that guy has to start going to full arm extention on pull ups, quit doing the popper type push up and start doing more than a little knee bend.

M/28/6'3/218

51:27

First and last 1.5 sets of pullups kipping, the rest were dead hang. Poor access to quality pullup bar.

3:05, 3:12, 3:52, 4:35, 5:10. Total time was 19:54. Situps were AFSOC style with fingers interlocked behind head and torso had to break 90, elbows past knees. So they were slow. I still got ruled though.

Love this one. I think If my awesome husband was around my times could have been just a little better. He always knows just when to push me a little harder. First time doing Barbara, I'll be excited to see what I can do next time. I think I'll stick to doing this with GHD's. ;-)

First question, Are you on any nutrition plan ie. Zone, Paleo?
2. How long have you been crossfitting and how hard to you push yourself?

There is a woman's forum online both on a yahoo blog and facebook. to follow are both links. I think you'll find it a great place to ask such questions and more....

This was my first Barbara, but also the first time I have done any of the high-rep pullup workouts without any assist on the pullups - did them dead-hang(maybe a little kip at the end on a couple of them), but was very proud of myself!

They slowed me down on the last couple of sets, but it was very satisfying to have done all of the pullups with my own bodyweight! yay!

Aside from that, pushups were tricep style - with arms to my sides, sit-ups with feet anchored under a couch, and standard bodyweight squats

I have a question about something I don't understand here. When you are listing your times are you saying, for example, that you are finishing the complete round (20, 30, 40, 50) in something like 2:15? Or am I missing something? Because that is ridiculously fast. I am in pretty good shape but my best round was 6:00.

Yes. People are completing one round of 20, 30, 40, 50 in sub 3 minutes. CrossFit is humbling and changes the definition of the shape you're in.

WOD: Barbara Lite: 5 Rounds, each for time of:

•10 Pull-ups
•20 Push-ups

Rest precisely 3 minutes between each round. Post time for each of 5 rounds to comments

Round 1: 4:18 – with push-up bars

I am assuming that a good rep of each exercise takes 1 second... can we agree on that? If you complete the entire round... it would take 2:20... throw in one second to switch from one position to the next...2:24

How in god's name are some of you posting these times!? You're basically completing each round faster than what many people could run an 800m in!

Exactly what I am asking myself (and my friend): Is it possible to do 140 reps in 90 sekonds w maintained form, and on top of that do it 5 consecutive times?

Well, he says so and that I can video-film him next time!

#677 Chris-

The good thing about a program like this is that there is no point in lying. I can get on here and post a lie that I did a round in 1:00 flat, but what good would that do? If I'm cheating on my ROM or just posting crap to impress people, I am really cheating only myself and my body. We're all here to compare ourselves to our past selves, and that's the point of all of this.

Fairly new to Crossfit, I've been doing the body weight workouts for 2-3 months. I'm finally able to do what is requested. However, I feel like I'm hitting a wall, after the workouts I feel like I could have put more intensity into it. Any suggestion? (I'm in college and work out on my own).

First time taking on "Barbara"

23'57'' to get through it, I know I can go faster now, I felt like I was testing the waters with the first workout. I felt myself taking slight rests between the sets that weren't needed...I can't wait to do it again and see my progression.

I threw in a nice kettleball workout to top my morning off...
10 kettleball swings followed by 1 burpee, then 10 kettleball swings followed by two burpees and so on until i reached 10 burpee's, that combined with 3 rounds of one arm over head walking kettleball lunges was amazing!!

Scaled to Ring Rows. (did three rounds of this the day before, unsuspecting)

Also did the following 5 rep sets of back squats:

135/225/270/250

Got below parallel on all sets. Got down to a D-Ball at all weights below 270. Will do some "hold at bottom" squats using 270 next time to develop better depth on this lift.

Barbara: Did not finish, but I have a story :>)

Today I did not have breakfast, but I did have a large cup of coffee, extra strong...

My tummy hurt a little from the coffee so I wanted to get this WOD done quickly so I could get back to my place and drink some milk.

I started Barbara and blasted through the first two rounds without breaking up any of the exercises. At the end of the third round on the last squat I threw up in my mouth, total bile, but the gross part is that I kept it in my mouth until I walked, casually, to the men's room, at which point I completely lost it for about five minutes. After I re-grouped I went back out to the bar and told myself to finish the last two rounds. I jumped up to the pull up bar and felt green. I stopped and stared at the bar for another five minutes before picking up my cr@p, and walking home with my tail between my legs. I did not feel human again for about 2 hours. That's my story and I'm sticking to it :>)

Today I did her after work.

Sick yesterday, still felt like hell today.

First time to try her. Performed at the apt block. Granpa Chinese man offered me a cigarette as soon as I finished. Last thing I needed but I needed to be polite even more. So I finished the day with a Chinese cig. Ugh.

Last time I blazed through the first two rounds then hit a wall; this time I tried to set a pace in the first round and keep that pace through the subsequent four rounds. The only problem is I may have set the original pace to slow. Next time I will try to pace myself at six minutes per round.
