So yesterday I attended the 7pm, 100 level class so Adam could come along. It was a nice opportunity to work on my clean form and the WOD was still (as always) challenging :) I think/hope Adam had as much fun as I did - I love sharing the kool-aid! Because it was a 100 level class the WOD was scaled... and here it is:
WOD
5 Rounds:
10 med ball cleans
10 reverse burpees (my new favorite exercise :)
20 box jumps
RESULTS
12# med ball; short box
14mins ... and some seconds, maybe 12??
ANALYSIS
The med ball cleans were super easy and I freakin' LOVE reverse burpees. I continue to loathe box jumps but was proud of myself for actually cycling through! I did one set of 20 without even stopping!! Thats new for me. I focused on jumping up and that really helped (vs. jumping out) Funny story, in the first round I was super confident, rocked through the cleans and burpees with no break then walked up to the box and jumped.. or so I thought I did. My legs didn't move, the quads were firmly staying put and I just tumbled right over the box. Hilarious. I tend to forget that sometimes just telling your legs to move isn't enough ;)

FRAN!
January Fran Challenge. I couldn't do my benchmark WOD Saturday, so I was forced to do it this morning at 8am... just to clarify, I am not a morning athlete (insert whine and cranky pout face here).
WOD
21-15-9
Thrusters, Pull-ups
RESULTS
For the challenge you had to slot into three categories: beginner (25/green), intermediate (45/red), Rx'd
Clearly I went for intermediate since I can NOT do pull-ups at that high reps :)
7:56
ANALYSIS
So, the thrusters went real fast. I did them all unbroken, which is fab. The pull-ups KILLED my time. My kip was for shit today. Maybe due to working out in the morning, maybe to my womanly issues, maybe the headache I was nursing... whatever the reason, doesn't matter. I couldn't string more than 3 together at a time and it slowed me down big time. Looking back on my last Fran execution, I completed the WOD at 65# using the green band in August, in 9:06.
Ok, so it's a month long challenge. I need to work on my pull-ups and get down to 6mins for the final WOD in early Feb.
