Visiting my parents means visiting their two cats as well.  Rosie seems to find me where ever i go.

Robbie & I ran in the Falmouth Turkey Trot.  It was 6.76km and I finished in 33:20.  Robbie finished in 43:05. Great way to start off the holiday.

Morning: 9.5km run.  Time 54:14

Afternoon: Hard Hard Hard.  Crossfit Cape Cod calls this "Jon"

As many rounds as possible in 20mins.

6 Pushups
9 #20 wall balls
12 #54 kettle bell swings.

I did 10 rounds + 6 pushups, + 3 wall balls.  Pure hell.

 

3 Rounds for time

Dead lift (275lbs is rx.... I did 185)
50 Doubleunders

I always get worried whenever I see dead lifts on a wod.  I worked up to 185lbs and felt pretty comfortable with this weight. I did a few reps of 225 at the end as well.  Result: a tad sore... but pretty good.  Hopefully no more troubles.  Time for the WOD: 7:17.  Below is some crazy guy doing the same workout  a lot faster than I did.

My favorite Chinese company hands down has got to be C-Trip.  C-trip is basically China's version of Orbitz or Travelocity. I fell in love with this company a few years ago after meeting their CFO in Shanghai.  Want a play on China's growing middle class?  This is it.  Great growth, great margins, great business and they have a history of beating consensus for results (which they just did again). The only negative thing is the valuations.  Currently about 60+x last year and 45+x2010!.   Not cheap.  I bought this stock for my portfolio when I worked at the hedge fund a few years ago and made a killing  after they reported some good results.  Bought it for myself back this spring @30.  I'll be selling some tomorrow since the stock has run up so much and they don't offer much of dividend. I though about selling all of it and replacing the positions with some at the money calls but they seem expensive to me.
