WODs of August 2014

This is going to be abbreviated, as I was out of town for a week, and two other weeks I only went twice because of poor sleep issues (for those of you not in the know, I am a regular attendee of the 5:30 a.m. class. Every once in a while I find myself unable to sleep and end up cancelling my spot at 2 in the morning to try to snag some extra Zs), and once I forgot to take a pic. Actually, that one I remember. It was a 4:30PM class the day after returning from our vacation, and the coach erased the board for the day before I could snap a pic. But, it was EMOM even minutes 10 Burpees, odd minutes 6 Front Squats, for 12 minutes. Good times. And so were these …

This was yesterday’s (end of the month, end of the week). A very sweaty workout. Pull-ups were terrible, maybe because I did the burpees before the row, and that wiped my back strength out? All around a hard and long workout.

A lot of front squats this month. Not a fan of this particular squat.

I am a nervous nelly when it comes to those lateral jump overs. Ideally one can whip them out, do them quickly. I can’t string more than two or three together like that.

Lot of writing on this wall. Hm. Doubleunders I’m sure slowed me down for this. I was a full 2 and a half minutes slower than the other guy, it seems.

I remember this one in that the kettlebell swings clicked for me. My coach, Jess, gave me some cue that changed the way I was doing them, for the better. It’s all about the momentum.

I remember doing this one, especially the skill work (balance) …but it’s not memorable.

A lot of running. Good deal.

There was one more I remember doing this month … We basically did 6x400m, where the goal was to rest for the same amount of time it took to run the lap. What I remember about that one was the consistency I was able to maintain over the 6 reps: The first 4 were all around 2 minutes and the last 2 were like 2:06 or something. More running. Good, since I’ve only been getting out to run maybe once a week, in prep for my upcoming 10K. First race of the year. Yeah!
