So no training yesterday, was still quite sore and I was lacking energy big time. I think my body is still getting used to being back on the paleo diet. Day 7 today and haven't had a cheat yet (well some kethcup and a little honey), but other than that nothing. Gorgeous day today, and ended up getting a double session in. Went out for about a 2 hour mountain bike ride in the afternoon and then did some weight work in the evening. Feel great right now, plenty of energy, and ready to hit it tomorrow.

WOD:
Superset of:
Speed Deadlift: 185x3
Medicine Ball Slam: 7 reps
5 sets with 60 seconds of rest between sets

Weight work was short but felt good. The deadlifts were at 50% of my 1RM, and done for speed, so pulling them off the floor as quickly as possible. The med ball slams were not done in the fashion usually seen in CrossFit. They were done without a squat and done with the body opening all the way, on the toes, arms all the way overhead, and hips open, and then slamming the ball into the ground as hard as possible. They were done as a power movement. Good little combination and a nice way to end the day. Going to hit a longer met-con tomorrow. Cheers.
