This took me 8.50 or so with 45kg, btw… a long way off being done in sub 5 minutes! No fails, but it was a windsucker.

Captain’s sounds good to me Colm.

Eamonn, those tubes are known as spirometers. They’re one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools for pulmonary function tests (testing your lungs). Basically a snazzy flowmeter that uses some snazzier maths to work out the capacity of your lungs. Well not quite, it works out the forced vital capacity of your lungs, which is the amount of air you can actually breathe out of your lungs. There’ll always be some dead space where sneaky air hides when it doesn’t want to come out.

This stops your lungs from collapsing when you breathe out all the way, useful at times.

Pixie, how did your FEV1 compare with last time or do you remember? I’d be interested to see how that changed with regard to your crossfitting.

Unfortunately I have to go into work for a 12 hour shift after the invitational so no Captain Americas for me.

Eamonn – yep as Tom said it was blow into one of those tubes as hard as you can, fairly standard I’d imagine.

I’m mulling over at the moment whether I’ll take 3 full days off before the invitational or or just the two. What are the rest of you planning? Tony will no doubt be training up to at least Thursday.

Registered for the invitational anyway. Looking forward to the challenge. Just read about the last one. Look like fun. Ha!

Nice work Pixie, did they do it with one of those pipes you have to blow into as hard as you can?
