I don’t record all WODs, but here is a look at a few from this month.
I have no memory of the above. I kind of remember the last 50 sit-ups being a big PITA.
This was a partner/team workout, which are usually saved for weekend WODs. I think I was partnered with Josie. It is the holds/core work, like plank and V-ups, that are the biggest struggle in workouts like these.
Double Unders remain my least favorite thing. I start off looking great. I am most successful if I go single-double-single-double etc. Like in bowling, my arms just get tired after doing them for a while. Then there’s the whole peeing in your pants thing.
Coach Jess asked us, what is Special Enforcement Detail, anyway? Nobody knew. For this WOD I put my running shoes on since there was a good amount of running. It made the thrusters really tough.
Rowing and running. For the row, here is my 1000m strategy, works well for Crossfit WODs: start 5, high 10-15, shift and shoot for 28- 30 spm. At 500m I start doing high 10s, staying at or below a 2:00 split. The other 10s I hover around 2:03 – :05. At 900m I crank the rate up to get ‘er done. I pulled it out with an avg split of 1:59.
This particular workout got me thinking strategy for a 2K, should I have to pull that off some one morning.
I’ll be out of town the rest of the month, so no WODs til September.
