Sixth day in a row of WODding; I probably should’ve rested.
I’m not a fan of partner WODs, so I went solo this morning.
AFAP
50 box jumps, 24”
25 KB swings, 52#
15 DB burpee dead-lifts, 40# DBs
25 T2B
15 DB burpee dead-lifts, 40# DBs
25 KB swings, 52#
50 wall ball shots, 20# & 10’ target
This was rough if for no other reason than it was so damn hot in the box. I sweated profusely throughout, and left a trail of sweat (and tears) at each station.
My one and only goal, believe it or not, was to not go all out, and to treat the workout as a day of active recovery. I did just that.
In fact, I often rested at the top of the box jumps and danced to the music. Ha! I did box jumps in no less than 10 unbroken reps; again, I was taking my time.
I did the first round of KB swings unbroken, and the second round in reps of 10, 10, & 5.
DB burpee dead-lifts aren’t ever fun. I did both rounds unbroken.
I strung together toes to bar, and completed in reps of 10, 9, & 6. I did miss the 20th attempt, and Michael Kelley was kind enough to call “No rep.” I know, Michael Kelley. I don’t cheat. (Cough, cough.)
Wall ball shots were a bitch – so much so that I had to take off my shirt. Jeff immediately grabbed his iPhone to snap some pics, and Michael Kelley immediately stood beside me to make sure he was included in pics. Uhm, notice that I didn’t include said pics.
I completed the WOD in 15:05. I was spent, and continued to sweat for the next hour or so.
I then coached the 10:30 session. Kudos to Paul A. and Chad for taking direction and stringing together T2B, and heart out to Burt how re-injured his shin while doing box jumps. Yet again. Ouch. Jeff and Darren crushed it. Crushed. It.
I had asked Michael Kelley if he was going to lead the Community WOD, and he told me that he couldn’t, as he was moving into his new adobe. Yet he attended and participated in the Community WOD. That is all that I will say about the matter publicly.
I called the WOD “Terrible Twos”. Athletes performed each of the activities for two minutes and rested two minutes between rounds. Pull-ups, pushups, box jumps, air squats, and burpees.
Sunday is OHS-day. What to do, what to do…
