I think that Advil I had before going to bed made all the difference.
When I went to bed, I totally didn't think I would go, but when my alarm went off, I didn't feel too bad and I wanted to take lunch time off, so I forced myself out of bed and didn't regret it one bit.
The warm up was 5 minutes of 6 pull ups, 9 empty bar thrusters and 12 glute bridges. Made it through 3 rounds.
Skills work was a clean and jerk complex.
- power clean+push jerk+clean+split jerk every 90 seconds for 8 rounds
Kept changing my mind about whether and how to increase the weight, even during the workout.
Ended up doing 145#, 145#, 145#, 155#, 155#, 155#, 155#,165#
Was getting pretty tired at the end.
The WOD was no fun.
5 rounds of
- 12 wall balls
- 12 burpees.
Instructions were to go fast. Well I only have one speed for burpees and it isn't fast.
Coach also said, scale the wall balls so they were at most 2 sets even at the end.
So I figured the burpees would suck anyway, I'd focus on the wallballs and go unbroken at Rx, 20lbs med ball .
That's exactly how it went down. I go slow and steady on the burpees, taking 2 or three good breaths at the bottom before hurrying up to the top and back down for more rest, then zoom through the wall balls.
I was still last, but by only 55 seconds with a 10:57. Happy with that. Well paced. And it's done.
