What a great week of workouts I had this week and it all started with a WOD that completely destroyed me. I haven't felt like that in a long long time...taking a little break and coming back full throttle for this particular WOD left me feeling like my first day of CrossFit.
I found out I am not a very pleasant sore person (I'm sure Jim already knew this) and I spent 3 days in complete misery. So, I'll share with you some of the things I did to make this soreness go away.
2. I worked out again - strange as it seems this really does help. Sitting on my duff and bitching however does not. (please note I did not give this particular tactic it's own #)
3. I used the marc pro (on my quads) like an elf eats Christmas candy...CONSTANTLY!
I kept thinking I have a competition on Saturday and I'm never going to be able to feel my legs again...and just as quickly as the soreness appeared I woke up on Thursday and it was gone. AHHHHH!!
Monday December 5th (THE WOD!!!) 12 Min emom PP - I got up to 95#. 12 Min AMRAP 30 Dub's, 20 Pistols Alternating, 10 OHS 65# - I did 5 rounds + some pistols (it's been too long) in an all out sprint.
Tuesday December 6th Strength - 5 rep front squat - I did 160#. 20 Min AMRAP 250 m row, 60' lunge, 20 goblet squats, 20 kb swings, 60' lunge. I did 5 rounds...maybe?
Wednesday December 7th - rest day
Thursday December 8th - I SHOWED UP AT THE GYM ON GAME DAY!!! I HAD TO PLAY A GAME WITH BALLS...5 rep bench press 125#. 10 min AMRAP 1 legless rope climb, 1 rope climb, 10 t2B, 10 swings 55#. I got 4 rounds.
Friday December 9th - Hero TJ: 10 Bench Press, 10 Strict Pullup - AMAP to get to 100 Thrusters. I had a competition coming on Saturday so I only did 95 on BP and 65 on Thrusters. I only did 60 reps it took me about 15 minutes. Would really like to do this one RX someday;0)
Saturday December 10th: Cougar competition on the best team EVER - Grant's Mamaw and Dad!! Wod #1,2 - I hit a 175 pound clean:0)
We also had some light work with pp, squat, hang clean and DL!
Wod #3,4,5 We kicked butt on the thruster,t2b wod but that cost us in our rowing;/
Snatches just hurt and I was so thankful when time was called.
Wod #6,7 So didn't want to move anymore...but 15 min cap allowed us to finish Karen as the bell tolled.
Loved the wod's and my partner with our 7th/36 place finish;0)
Sunday December 11th: As punishment for sucking in my row....I rowed a 5K today. Time was 25:34. I will be rowing at least 1 5k a week from now until the open;)
