Wednesday 1/16

Thursday 1/17

Swam (just a little…..laughingly I went to water zumba because I thought it would be a good rest thing…….that was ridiculously horrible….so I left the class and since I was at the gym just swam a few slow laps to loosen up)

Friday 1/18

1/5/13

We did 3 different WODs

WOD 1:  1min Pullups-Pushups (kneeling)-Situps-Squats

I ended getting 98…..which was lower than the start and finish of last year, but I did pull-ups this time instead of ring rows (last year I had 85 –>111…….so actually I did better than I did the start of last year….which makes me happy and doing pull-ups as well!)

WOD 2:  1RM Clean

I ended up with 145…..this was worse than last year….however my best was 140 until the start of the challenge where I got 155….and then got 165 at the finale…..I remember thinking that it was timing….because it “felt” easier even though it was a heavier weight….I haven’t been able to do the 155 or 165 since then…..so am I happy with 145 not really but it’s still a good weight.

WOD 3:  6minutes

5 Burpees

10 KB Swings (35)

15 Push-Press (35)

I ended up with 119 (this was slightly better than last year as I got 103 –> 115)  I was happy to see I did a little better.

I felt horrible after the first WOD and actually got sick during the lecture…..so with all that said I was happy with Day 1 of the Challenge

______________________________________________

Friday 10/11/13

Seated DB Press (30)

3 Rounds:  11:35

15 Alternating DB Snatch (40)

Saturday 11/12/13

Much needed rest day!

____________________________________________________

As of Saturday 1/12/13 I am down 7.2 lbs…..even though weight doesn’t matter!!!  Especially with this body (unfortunately I will always weigh a ton!)

10/8/12 PCF WOD

Squat
10-10-10 (About 65-75% of 1RM)

135-175-165 (175 almost killed me and couldn’t think of doing another set, but I was able to do the 165 with no problem)

Hopper Challenge Individual WOD #4 (Open Division) – 11:01
30 Toes to Bar (scaled knees to chest)
30 Front Squats (155/105) (scaled to level I 65#)
Run 800m

I realized I have no idea how to do front squats….my STOMACH was so tire more than my legs because I was leaning forward so much and having to pull myself up???? Ugh!  I know to keep my elbows up…but my flexibility barely allows that to start with and I was choking myself with the bar….maybe one day I’ll learn

10/9/12 CFE WOD

Today was the 2mile TT.

My time was 26:3?

This falls between my first of 25 something (walking the ridiculous hill) and 28 something (running the whole thing).  I’ll take this improvement over last month….especially being right off of the second week of Paleo and being pretty tired last week through WODs.

I felt like crap and am not even going to post my score….looking back from 2010 when I was the top of my fitness I was about 90 reps under……I’m not sure if it’s because I’m finishing up week 2 of paleo or what, but yeah I felt like complete crap!

I lost track of days because I wasn’t posting….well here you go

EMOTM 10 Minutes
2 Deadlifts – (215)
4 HSPU – (scaled to 2 negatives)

I definitely was tired after that…..surprising I finished the real WOD.

3 Rounds – 15:41
Run 400m
21 KB Swings (70/53)….(scaled to Russian)
15 Ring Dips (scaled to L1 10 Ring Dips assisted)

And I felt like crap, but finished! 🙂

Crossfit Total

675

Squat 260 (pr)

Press 110

Deadlift 305

So for the squat I started at 255, because 250 was my max and I thought I could do a little more.  I have to say when I tried 260 that was the first holy crap moment int he middle of a squat lift I have ever had.  I think I actually met my max for once.  I didn’t even try a 3rd attempt. 🙂

Press was not a good day.  I hit 120 on Wednesday last week…that was a PR by 10….but after that I couldn’t lift a thing.  So I started at 110 and got it up.  Then I tried 12o and failed miserably and did the same for 115.

Deadlift….I have actually only tried to do a heavy DL lift once since lifting after my surgery….so I really did not know what to do.  My max before my injury was 305…..so I really wanted to see what would happen.  I completed it.  I tried 310 and got more than 1/2 way and bailed…..then my 3rd attempt was a complete failure….I barely lifted it off the floor.

All in all I’m extremely happy with today.  8/6/10 was the last time I was able to do CFT and I only got 575.  Squat 190 Press 95 Deadlift 190…..so I call this a success! 😀

So today we ran around the National Mall.  After last saturdays 10k I was not sure how I was going to feel since I practically died running just over 6miles….but I did a 10min run/2min walk and felt great!  I ran that for 1hr and ran about 4 3/4miles…..So I definitely feel better about trying to complete the MCM after today.  It gave me a bit more confidence that I won’t fail before the bridge…..but I’m still stressing a bit about this damn race! 🙂

Then played flag at 1pm with IU….and we won!  Good Day!
