Testes, Testes...1,2...3?

     I finished the second test at the crossfit gym yesterday.  I'm pretty excited about it too.  I had to run a mile for time, and I finished it in 5:54.  I haven't ever run a mile that fast, and once I caught my breath, I was happy.  To add to the fun, there is a little cinder block wall that I had to cross to finish.  I picture myself hurtling it and finishing the run in a kind of dive roll.  Of course in the dream, I don't end up with stitches.

     The second part of the test was a 500 meter row for time.  I think I finished in 1:45 or 1:47ish.  My time was somewhere in there.  I love rowing.  Although, I should tell you that I have decided to say that I love all of the exercises regardless of whether I actually love them or not.  Anyway, I love rowing.  This was the second time that I rowed, and it was easier this time around.  I think my form is continuing to improve, which helps.

     Last night Team Team, which is my ice hockey team, was back on the ice.  We played Moose, and we won 3-2.  We only had 8 skaters, which meant long shifts.  I have to say that the new gym has improved my on-ice endurance.  Unfortunately, there were a couple of players on their team who don't know how to lose gracefully (we've had problems with them before, and even the Zamboni driver told us those guys are always a problem), but the score says it all.  Go Team Team!

     I will take the third and final test soon.  Jeff told me that tonight is going to be a fun night at the gym, and so we'll save the last test for later.  I'm interested to see what that means.
