WOD

ISU Track

5 Rounds for time:

800 meter run
30 KB swings, 55 lbs.
30 KB high pulls, 55 lbs.

Time: 35:05

This workout was worse than I thought it would be. I met Lucas, Tony, Cate and Kelly at the ISU track this morning.  It was about 30 degrees with what felt like a 15 degree wind chill.  After this workout was done my lungs were on fire and I was glad it was over.

I am getting used to these scores as they seem to be an occurring theme when it comes to my racquetball.

WOD

2 - 1:37.8

4 - 1:39.2

I needed to get on the rowing machine today to switch things up a little bit.  After working out last night and struggling to catch my breath after each set of KB swings, I am going to have to step up my cardio.  I felt good all the way through this WOD and am a little disappointed that my last 500 meters wasn't done under 1:40.  The last time I did this workout I set a PR on the first 500 meters and then struggled to get through the rest of the workout.

Last night I went down to the basement to workout and watch a little football.  I worked on pull ups, doing wide grip, reverse grip, and regular grip strict pull ups.  Then:

Strict Press
1 x 10, 40 lbs DB
1 x 10, 45 lbs DB
1 x 10, 45 lbs DB

KB Swings, 55 lbs KB
3 x 30

Triceps/Overhead Extensions from back, 55 lbs. KB

I was going into the gym today to loosen up my legs by jogging/walking on the treadmill.  I was surprised today at how sore my legs still are from Monday and Tuesday.  Somehow I got talked into doing this workout.  My legs were burning so bad after the box jumps I knew I was in for a long workout.  By the time I got to the burpees I could not get my legs to come into my chest on the way up.  The worst part of the workout was the back extensions.  I think the first fifteen or twenty back extensions were pretty good but after that I am sure that if I was being judged, not one would have counted.  I would really like to try this workout again feeling 100% going into it.
