There was a 15 minute cutoff for this workout which is why the photo caption says "Round 1" ... I will conquer that 4 seconds -- GAH! GRR!! FOUR SECONDS!! Apparently in Ontario, only 3 men finished and no women. I'm pretty sure we had 3 finish it today at our CFATL gathering - I came CLOSE but will have to make it officially happen another day. It was a total gripfest. First time ever kipping KTE's (thanks, Leah P!!) and my abs and lats just wore out. 30 is a lot! Did my best to get full extension on the MUs -- will have to ask the spectators if they were legit.

100 Sled drag 40kg w/95lbs (?)

That first workout didn't seem so bad until about round 7 or 8. Somewhere there I realized 110 lbs is fucking heavy and the reps were going UP! Yowch!
Somehow, I was coerced into doing the second workout with Mike K by a very tricky group of people who had done it the previous day. They sat on the ground (Leah A, Brandon C, Mike G, Ken G) and had snacks and rested while Mike K and I suffered to provide the entertainment. I could hardly pick up my gym bag and get it in the car when it was finally time to go home.

04-12-10 Monday Week 63

Hang squat snatch from Friday's wod.

Today was supposed to lift in the AM and run in the PM. During warm-up, my shoulder would not even allow me to do a single pushup without pain. After a short meltdown, made an appointment with my chiropractor and postponed the lifting til the PM. Chiro appt was successful and was able to get some good work done! No time to run afterwards but it was worth it.

04-10-10 Saturday Week 62

Training Log
12 PM
In 12 minutes, complete:
2K Row + Max Reps Deadlift (185lbs)
Score = Row time - (Deadlift Reps x 5 seconds)

Time -- don't even remember


This was bad. Very bad. Got super scared of the deadlifts. It was a 185 lb max deadlift workout that injured my hamstring in the first place. I hate rowing and when I was getting out of the rower my lifting shoes got stuck in unfamiliar rower straps. Had very little time to get my hook grip secured and get the bar off the ground. I pretty much decided before the workout that I was going to suck at it and so I almost didn't even try. Got only 6 deadlifts and I pretty much gave up. Had to go hide and cry afterward. I will do this again soon and NOT suck at it because of a bad attitude. Fear+CrossFit= not a good combo....

04-09-10 Friday Week 62

Training Log
9:30 AM

Yowch. That one hurt. But am SO glad we did it.

Was pretty consistent with my times. First couple were under 50 seconds. After that hung right around :51/:52 except for 1 or 2 slow ones.

Sigh. I HATE WORKING OUT BY MYSELF!!! And, I am realizing that it's difficult to talk to anyone right now without talking about my workouts and my training for Regionals, and oh yeah, did I mention this workout I did the other day. Also, I am realizing that people don't care. They care about their workout... as they should. Damn I need to get a life.

04-03-10 Saturday Week 61

Loving these Saturday competitions at CFATL!! It is so inspiring and motivating to workout alongside so many amazing athletes - I LOVE IT!!!! Skeleton crew on this holiday weekend; just me, Leah P, Brooke, and Whitney repping the chicks -- all in one heat! (Wish I had remembered to take pics....)

First set was so blistering that I staggered to the barbell from the pullup bar. I've never had such a long recovery from a workout. Typing this 36 hours post workout and my lungs are still a wreck. Holy carp. Yes... I meant carp. Religious fish are way funnier than religious poo, IMO. That is all.
