I went to crossfit last night and was stressing out due to the rain. The WOD was Jerry which is a 1.6k run, 2k row and another 1.6k run. I wanted to ditch it cause I didn't want to run in the rain as looking like a drowned rat is SO not vogue.
I thought to myself just HTFU and get your arse there and so I did and spent the first 5 mins grumbling to Gill that I didn't want to run and I wasn't looking forward to it.
Started the warm up and got a PB for double unders!! Did 8 in a row, then 12 and then 15. 15 fucking double unders! Even Rob was impressed! I finally have found something at crossfit I am not entirely useless at! I could have pumped out more but alas my tights were falling down and my crack was on display so stopped.
After feeling so awesome for doing so many double unders I was pumped for the actual WOD. It was no longer raining but it was wet. And dark. So I started and I proceeded with caution cause I kept having thoughts of rolling my ankle. Set myself goals, broke down the course and ran where I could. Did the first 1.6k in just over 10 mins.
The row took me just over 11m mins. That hurt. A lot. I tried to keep a steady pace and had to catch my breath a few times. Then the final run came and my legs were like jelly!
Total time = 33.08. I reckon had it not been so slippy I could have done this in under 30 mins.
I am now over my 'I hate crossfit and paleo' tanty and I am ready to be elite again. Crossfit is so much about mental toughness and I am slowly starting to realise that I can do it, I just have to not think so hard about every little thing.
bring on tomorrow's WOD.
