Last weekend I spent most of my time at the pool. Not for myself, but as a race official Saturday and starter on Sunday. Lily was in the pool. So much fun watching kids race. From one meet to the next they can cut seconds from their times, not tenths like older kids and grown-ups. After two long days at the pool, I made my way to the box to test Everyday Warrior WoD 3.

So they had problems with registering scores from WoD 1 and extended them through Sunday.
With a five day trip coming up I decided to give both 1 & 2 another try. So Thursday afternoon I make my way to Crossfit Växjö.

We decided on the following 4 WoDs:
- Grace 30 reps Clean and Jerk 60kg
- Randy 75 reps power snatch 35kg
- Diane 21-15-9 deadlifts 100kg / handstand push ups
- Karen 150 wallballs
Before we even started I decided to scale Diane to 80kg and Karen to 6kg instead of 9kg.

Super busy October
I have not forgotten to write here, I have just not found the time to put my thoughts into words…
So my last post was my first day in Saudi Arabia. The day before I had managed to perform the Nordic Showdown twice, pack and then head to the airport.

Swim for 24 hours to raise money for Doctors without Borders
On Halloween (Saturday the 31st of October) I will be participating in Simma24. Simma24 is a swimathon to raise money for Doctors Without Borders, “Läkare Utan Gränser” in Swedish.
Off to the desert for most of October
Update: New travel dates. I am now leaving home on the 7th and returning to Sweden on the 30th! Great, just what I needed. So instead of getting a week to be in the pool before my 24 hour swim I will land and take the train straight to Göteborg, try to sleep then, wake up and swim longer than I have ever tried before. Good thing my wife is OK with me being away for nearly 4 weeks.
It’s now official that I will be traveling back to Saudi Arabia for just over 3 weeks during October. Continue reading
97, 98, 99 and …..100
Tomorrow, if everything goes as planned, will be my 100th group WOD at Crossfit Växjö.
It will technically be my 133rd Crossfit workout, but only my 100th with a group at that box.
Coaching
Most of people know that I am the coach of our local Masters team. My personality and the lack of a coach got me into the position as team dad. I write the workouts, plan for meets and do what I can to increase our pool time so we can be open for more than just competitive swimmers, but masters of all levels. With today’s limits space in the pool I have been forced to set requirements for our weekday workouts, but Sundays everyone is welcome.

Crossfit Progress
Amazing what three days of rest can do for your body. I spent Saturday and Sunday with the family in Gothenburg. Satruday we were at Liseberg amusement part from just before 11am until nearly 8pm. The next day we visited Universium and were there from 10am until nearly 3pm before driving home. On Monday I visited Leon, since I felt I was mentally over my Ironman race, but that my body was not really on board. Leon was able to gave my body a push towards recovering. so to let that treatment have full effect I rested the rest of the day.
