This week's open wod was quite the experience... I mentioned it in my last post and completed it on Friday, as I was planning to be out of town on Saturday. I got to the gym a bit late, so I didn't get the chance to warm up like I normally would as I had to get started before class time, but could count on the 60 burpees to get going. So I hit my head on the first burpee. Not too bad, but it did hurt and therefore did each burpee far enough away and maybe too far because I would have to step to the bar, then jump over it. My limiting factor was how slow I do burpees...I got through them in 9 minutes and change, and had time for 2 overhead squats which actually didn't feel that bad. I wish this wod was 10 minute time limit, any order you like, 1 point per burpee, 3 per squat, 5 per muscle up. oh well...I just need to get faster.
Yesterday as we did not end up traveling I went just to cheer, which is more fun than doing sometimes. It was a good wod to watch, but also frustrating to see people get defeated.
Today we had a painstorm programmed...3 7 minute rounds, carry 1/2 bodyweight 400m then for the rest of the 7 minutes 2/3 bodyweight ground to overhead amrap. So...I usually factor off 150# which is more or less what I weigh...kinda...sometimes. With the sandbags I used 50 which was heavy...I did learn to put the heaviest bag on top, closer to midline. I used 95 for the ground to overhead. I didn't take my time really...but the 400m took me on average 5 minutes, and ended up with 17 ground to overheads which I was happy with, though everyone else basically tripled my score but whatevzies.
