Becoming an American

After work I went straight to work out. The WOD was weights. Specifically, Thruster 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps. I have a bit of a mental block with the more complex lifts, and can't lift more than the smallest amount I can move in any one phase of the larger lift. So I maxed at 155, and failed whenever I attempted above that. Such is life, but I should definitely be doing at least 165.

After the workout Erica made sure we got a little met-con in, and we did 5 sets of 10 air squats and 10 burpees. I redeemed myself here and finished in just over 4 minutes, a good 45 seconds or more than anyone else. She had also kept us honest in our warm up, so by the time I got home I was starving and not sure what I would eat. Happily, I had leftovers. I didn't have anything that great too cook. Even if I had, I was too hungry to do it.

Then it was over to Brooklyn Machine Works to rebuild the carburetor for the Empire scooter. With the help of BMW Luke, Other Luke, and Ken I was able to get it into much better shape. I'm charging the battery now, and planning to shoot on Saturday. This is a major weight off my shoulders, and those guys totally rule.
