It happened - today was the day that I NEVER thought would exist in my CrossFit World!! I was in the middle of my WOD and it dawned on me that I was actually looking forward to the Double Under portion of my workout. NOW - before anyone get's their panties in an uproar - because you actually know my TRUE feelings about double unders - let me explain myself!
I am sore. I am BEYOND sore. I am SO SORE that I had to roll over onto my stomach to get off of the recliner last night. So picture this - me sitting in the recliner in the relaxed position and NOT being able to lift my upper body forward to get out of the chair, so I proceed to roll over onto my stomach and "SCOOCH" off of the recliner end until my feet hit the floor. At that point I am able to bend my knees and stand tall. Don't laugh, I know you've been there.
So, what made me think I should come to a WOD that had 150 box jumps, 150 DU's and 150 sit-ups? Well, because it was on the board right?
I have been doing some strength training on the side to work on my clean and snatch maxes. I have goals as you all know to get a 155# clean and jerk. After working my strength and running the endurance last night I feel like I have been run over by one of those rollers they use to smooth asphalt!!
Jumping on the box felt like I was lifting 2 100# tree trunks 20" off the ground. Then I got to my DOUBLE UNDERS and it was like a miracle of miracles I was able to get 10-12 starting out...then the numbers dropped by I was pretty happy. And heaven forbid I got to the sit-ups - I couldn't lift my body without grabbing my arse and my thighs to start myself into my sit-up. The first 50 reps I felt the tears streaming from my eyes. Jim told me to use my arms so I would start with the arm swing and my abs said "NOPE" so I had to grab and pull!!!! Vision's of the recliner flashed in my eyes.....and then I thought (here it comes) -
"I can't wait to get back to my double under's!!" WHAT THE HECK!!!!
Someone pinch me, this must be a dream!
I may have to stand to watch the Games tonight!!
