CrossFit Oakland: Blogosphere and Beyond!

November 5, 2007

Blogosphere and Beyond!

Blogosphere as defined by wiki refers to the universe of discourse, and the perception that blogs exist together as a connected community.

A few dedicated and conscientious CFO athletes have created their own blogs, detailing their training experiences and experimentation with The Zone (http://www.drsears.com/). It's an incredible resource for any CF athlete considering getting serious about nutrition.

Does anyone have a link to tracks in the east bay where you can go to run? I know it's out there but I can't find it...

Found it: http://trackinfo.org/tracks.html

I tried doing the 400m X 4 WOD on a crappy asphalt track (in El Cerrito) in the dark tonight. (It got dark damn early all the sudden!).

I will never do that again.

On lap 2, coming out of the first turn at full tilt, I stepped in/tripped on a rather large depression, and fell forward, somehow managing to execute a near perfect roll and avoid major injury. Order of contact with ground: both hands, right knee, right shoulder, back, left shoulder/elbow/hip. Hands are amazingly unscathed, minor scrapes/bruises on right knee, left elbow, left hip. Ego appears to be only slightly bruised.

Decided to try again with daylight on my side tomorrow, hopefully at a better track.

allen, my two favorite tracks are:
- piedmont high (best surface, stairs too)
- above golden bear pool (cinder, views)

Good one, Allen!

That cracked me up.

Glad you liked it Mike!

Just got back from my runs on a real track. times were: 1:05, 1:13, 1:21, 1:20. total 10:59 with rests.
I'm psyched b/c 1:04 is "elite" level and I bet I could hit that next time.

OK, I'm starting to feel like I'm monopolizing the message board today...maybe I should just get my own blog like everybody else!

Just got back from my 4X400M runs on a real track. times were: 1:05, 1:13, 1:21, 1:20. total 10:59 with 2 min rests in between.
I'm psyched b/c 1:04 is "elite" level and I bet I could hit that next time. The 3rd and 4th runs were really hard.

OK, I'm starting to feel like I'm monopolizing the message board today...maybe I should just get my own blog like everybody else!

PS Joe, thanks for the track tips! I ended up going to contra costa community college since it's closer to home...It's OK I guess, but a bit worn on the inside lane.
