The other drinker

The drink

The return of Obiken

Three rounds, 15-12-and 9 reps, for time of:

Had to alter some of the weights to:

30Kg barbell thrusters
12Kg Dumb-bell weighted pull- ups

Time: 9 mins 53 secs.

The channel crossing

10 Km Row for time

Felt like it was a channel crossing with lots of waves hitting me but then I realised it was all the sweat pouring out of me. Got some pics of it but will need to wait till I get them developed. Got a real motivational boost today........ was 11st 7lbs on Tuesday and today I am 11st 3lbs.
