The workout looked easy enough on the board. But wow, it was crazy
But first, for the strength work, we did dead lifts: 4 sets 5 reps. I chose 145#, did well, Isabelle said my
form improved dramatically. Gotta be happy with that.
The WOD was 5 rounds for time.
10 pull ups
10 wall balls 20#
10 kettle bell swings 20kg.
By the end of round 2 I felt queasy! But found a groove in round 3. Finished in 9:38.
The
big news is that I did it almost completely unbroken, in the last round
the first 2 wall balls were off, first one I was too far from the wall,
so it didn't hit, and the second one I was too close and hit on the way
up while it was still in my hands! Other than that, all pull ups, 5
rounds of 10, unbroken, all kb swings and the rest of the wall balls
without stopping.
I am really proud that I was able to string together 10 straight
pull-ups even on the fifth round when I was dying. I really didn't want
to, but when I got the sixth one, my mind just said, "come on! Last
round, you can do this".
This is where the mental toughness of
Crossfit comes in.
