....for alot of reasons. The last two weeks have been from one extreme to another. First the birth of Layne, very happy time, 8days later the death of Melissa's grandmother (whom was like a second mother), very sad and inbetween my own personal struggle with my CrossFit times.
Josh made a great point, "Paralysis by Analysis" I think way too much about the time and how I can go faster; before, during and after the WOD. I think this slows me down as I am not focused on the intensity as I should be. I know I can have faster times on some of these WOD's I just need to focus on the WOD itself and the lifts involved instead of the clock so much.
"Filthy Fifty"50 Box jump, 24 inch box---1:31
50 Jumping pull-ups---0:46
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood---2:00
Walking Lunge, 50 steps---1:30
50 Knees to elbows---4:05
50 Push press, 45 pounds---1:58
50 Back extensions---2:08
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball---5:24
50 Burpees---5:21
50 Double unders---0:57
Total---25:43
Not a PR but still a good time. Just like Josh some times better, some the same and some were worse. I need to practice burpees and wallballs under cardivascular stress and that should decrease my time significantly.
While in Page Josh text me about 150 burpees for time, do not know if he did it or not but I did.
Total--12:30 with the following splits; 3:43-4:15-4:31. I am glad he text me that as that was definetly something I needed to work on. I did not look at my watch until I was finished, I did not stop at all, continuous burpees just slowed the pace when I hade to. I did a couple of sprints as finishers, not sure on the length of run, just from a stop sign to a stop sign with one way uphill and the other down.
Since being home I have eaten better and had some rest, my head is in a different place know with how I am going to perform the WODs. Lets just hope everything goes as planned this evening. I am excited to meet up with Josh and tackle "DT" with bumpers at Josh's place. I have never attempted this WOD so I have no idea what to expect. 3-2-1 GO!!!!
