Baby Locked In Car

Todays Workout, Same as yesterday's (so everyone can have a go of competing!)

Tricia was in, a little flat, so we jumped started her with a 2000m row followed by som core work and stretches, and then finished with a 500m row, and what do you know...a PB, 8 second improvement: from 2:22 to 2:14.

In came Ginette, Our female rowing leader, and she really had to push to get through the 8 rounds she achieved. And push hard she did. It is not just a matter of how you score. More importantly, it is about pushing yourself beyond your limits, from the known into the unkown. This is the only way to improve, and it is what Ginette did. Well done.

Jen came in, equalled Ginette's score, well done Jen, who now is training three days per week. Watch her blossom as an athlete now!

Afternoon sessions were with Gulnaz, Bob and Robert. I got Gulnaz's times mixed and I arrived fifteen minutes later than she did. It was great to see her use the knowledge she has gained and began working out without me. And when I did arrive, we pushed even harder, scoring 7 rounds for the WOD. With a heavy ten kilogram plate overhead for every round. More than any other girl. Bob got stuck straight into it. 9.5 score. Great burpees, and even better to see his flexibility on the lunges improve dramatically. One day at a time, but it all adds up. Keep it up Bob, you keeo getting better.

And then Robert arrived. A busy week at work and he was a little low on energy, so we hit the mits instead and started boxing out the rounds. UNTIL... "baby locked in car!!!"

My partner, Tanya, came rushing in. She had left our fifteen month old daughter in the passenger side front seat (with the car keys under her) as my partner walked around to the drivers side front seat, and just before she got to the door, she heard the central locking, "lock".

Uh ho, no chance of getting lucky again and Ava stepping on the keys a second time. In the beginning it was alll fun, but as we fussed around, we all began getting distressed, and ava was crying. Racv came, but couldn't jimmy the door open, so I got a hammer, smashed the back window and saved Ava...

Sorry to cut our session short Robert, thanks for hanging around in support.
