2010 CrossFit Games WOD #3

I soooo didn't want to go, but I made myself. I suffered from leg cramps all night but, come to find out, that can be due to dehydration.

Anyway ... I thought this was going to be a relatively "easy" workout, but I forgot about warmups.

One of the CrossFit sayings is "Your workout is our warmup." and today that was a fact.

Here was the warmup:
- 1600m Row
- PVC Passthrus
- 3x Hip Mobility Drill

Then 2 rounds of:
- 10 wall balls
- 10 pushups
- 10 pullups
- 10 situps
- 10 dips
- 10 kettlebell swings

Don't forget ... this was the WARMUP!

Now, the workout:
Complete as many rounds as possible in seven minutes of:
- 7 Deadlifts (315# / 205)
- 20 meter Sprint
- 14 One legged squats
- 21 Double-unders
- 20 meter Sprint

I was able to do 2 complete rounds + 4 DLs. I was happy with that result, especially after the workout the day before. I think today's going to be a rest day, but we'll see.

Isabella & Marissa's Re-Enlistment WOD

Isabella:
I really enjoyed Isabella ... it was actually fun and the fact that I was abile to Snatch 115lbs 30 times in 8:42 was good ... especially with my 1RM at 125lbs.

Marissa's Re-Enlistment WOD:
I just have to start with saying "OH MY GOSH!" ... this was SOO much tougher then I thought it was and I already thought it was going to be a tough one!

During the last few reps and the final 400m row I literrally thought ... "I'm going to die ... yup ... just die.".

Thank you to everyone that cheered me on at the end ... it's the ONLY reason why I was able to continue.

Again, OH MY GOSH!.

I'm done.

Double Under Helen

This one SUCKED ...

3 RFT:
50 Step Ups (12")
21 Kettlebell swings (1.25 pood)
12 Pull-ups (Black Band)

19:21

Then:

1 Rep Max Thruster

145# ... which was actually too easy and a 20# PR. Can't wait to try this next time.

Ugh ...

I'm getting REALLY bad at this ... so since my last post I've done the following.

PR'd in Back Squat ... went from 1x280 to 2x290.

PR'd in Press ... went from 1x140 to 2x145.

Overall I'm a bit discouraged ... in a bit of a slump that I can't seem to get out of.

Week 1 of Training for Gladiator 5k Mud Run

So ... I've been having trouble keeping up with keeping up with daily posts ... so I'm just gonna post weekly summaries.

This week I hit the gym; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Wished it could have been more ... but not. I really hit it hard this week though ... every workout I did it has hard as I could.

11 more weeks to go.
