- Pick up a bumper plate (45#/25#)

WOD 2 “Double Down”
Overview: This WOD actually consists of two short workouts. You will start the second workout exactly 20 minutes after you start the first one, so your rest is determined by the time it takes you to finish the first workout. Your score for this event is the combined times of both workouts, and based on this time, you will be ranked from fastest to slowest.

Part 1
4 Rounds for time of:
9 Squat Cleans (135/95lbs)
6 Handstand Push-ups

Part 2
For time:
30 Hang Squat Snatches (75/43lbs)

Crossfit Games SoCal Sectional: Athlete Info

Just received some info about Sectionals coming up soon.

The workouts will be announced on Wednesday, March 10th, 12:00pm on www.crossfitla.com. Later they will be posted at the official Crossfit Games website.

Hmm… I wonder if I should look or not. I do better when I don’t know what’s coming. I like the unknown.

Crunch Time

I might be digging myself into a hole soon. End of 8th week, 2 more to go. Then finals week.

Due this Wednesday:
Presentation on: Adding Peer-to-Peer Data Distribution Support for Stream Processing of SBIRS Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Data
Also the Term Paper with Results.
I still have to finish the code.

Then next 2 weeks:
Course Project: Compile data from top 11 male athletes in CrossFit Games 2009 and data mine like crazy. Use the techniques we learned from linear regression, least squares, PCA, LSI, LDA, and other classifiers, and optimization tricks to find a out something. Maybe the data will tell me how to train to win the CrossFit Games. Write up that report and turn it in by finals week.

Oh yeah, and I have this little thing call CrossFit Sectionals I will be competing at. So I still need to keep training for that.

… all while working. Gotta pay those bills right ;)

So peace out people, stay gang bangin’
