4 x 250m Row. Rest as needed.
46.0, 48.4, 48.6, 47.1
Workout surprisingly not that bad considering the beating my hands took at the kettlebell cert over the weekend. Thought the pull-ups would be much harder. Cash out went poorly. Body sorta reached exhaustion point I guess. Usually rowing feels strong, today it felt week.
2011 CrossFit Games Open, Workout 11.1, Take 2
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
30 Double-unders
15 Power snatches (55lbs / 25kg)
6 rounds + 30 double-unders
Stopped with ~30 seconds left because best case scenario I could have equalled previous score and, y’know, there was really no point.
P.S. Now I am annoyed.

Not half bad considering that my grip was gone before I even started… and at sectionals last year the C2B pull-ups alone took me 12 minutes 🙂

50 Double Kettlebell Swings
Worked up to 2x16kg. Kinda took it easy to spare back again.
CrossFit Workout of the Day
21, 15, 9 reps for time of:
Chest to Bar Pull-ups
Box Jumps, 24” / 20”
Wallballs, 20# / 14#
10:01.
Ohmygod I am going to get completely eviscerated the minute the Open gets around to something bodyweight 😉 Still, was pretty happy to finally sorta-figure-out rebounding onto the 20” box. Yay! Now I just need to be able to string together, oh, maybe 21 of them. That’d be nice.
CrossFit Cash Out
30 GHD Sit-ups 20-ish sit-ups from hanging upside down with knees over p-bars. Strange sensation. Significantly less lower-back-crunchy than the GHD.
Lifting
Sumo Deadlifts
~5 sets of 3 @95# with green band.
~5 singles @95# with green band.
Became frustrated with inability to recruit appropriate muscles. Decided to practice without band just engaging glutes.
95, 145, 155, 175, 185.

Legless rope climbs
Um, okay I can’t do this at all. Not even in a negative fashion. Arms pitifully weak in this respect. Or maybe body pitifully heavy. Either way pretty much a fail! Or, I mean, something to seriously work on!
CrossFit Workout of the Day
5 rounds for time of:
5 Push Jerks, 155lbs 105lbs
10 Burpees
6:24

Farmers Walks, 5 laps of ~50 yards, 2×90#
Fucked around with some lifting.
Back Squats
A couple sets of 5 at light weight. Lower back SUPER tight and didn’t want to let me get to the bottom without shooting my knees out waaay forward, so I called it quits at something silly like 95#. Decided to swap to…
Front Squats
3×95, 3×105, 3×115, 3×125, 3×135, 3×145
Better on the lower back because of more upright general posture. But also stopped a little light because once it started getting a little heavy entire torso felt like it was kinda compressing into my lower back. Yay!
Sumo Deadlift
3×95, 3×115, 3×135, 3×155
Not so great. Lower back kinda screwy on these too, which might have been because I was not adequately engaging my posterior chain. As Keith probably said, “use your ASS, woman!”

Hotel-Room Workout
100 burpees for time
8:15.
I don’t think I’ve done this in over a year, and I think my time has halved. Sweet. Considering how slow my burpees still are this is not so bad!
Rested out to 15 minutes, then:
100 double-unders for time
2:00.
Was slightly stymied by the extremely limited amount of space available in the room with ceiling height enough to accommodate jumprope. Kept hitting the bed and hence breaking streak.

Completed while running on 4 hours of sleep which is about half what I consider my minimum requirement. Thanks, daylight savings.
Scaled to within an inch of its life since there’s no way I have 300 push-ups. That would have taken all afternoon. Although definitely could have done 20/20. Went a bit too soft with 15 I think. Of course this was really more about running anyway.
Trying to force myself to do this kind of thing because it’s all of my goats smashed up together in glorious goaty madness. Ick.
