WOD recap

WOD 10/07/10

Seven rounds for time of:
10 Handstand push-ups - subbed for 20kg strict press
20 kg dumbell Squat clean, 10 reps - used 5kg dumbells
10 L-pull-ups - subbed 20 pullups blue and orange bands / 20 knees to chest

40 min time limit - I got 4 and a half rounds out (5 pull ups)

This hurt SO bad. I was super happy with my strict press considering when I started crossfit a few weeks ago I could not lift the bar over my head. Also Really happy with my pull ups as I have been doing jumping ones on the rings so its great to transition to the bands.

Still struggling a bit with my technique cause I think about it to much. I just have to let it go and not think so hard!

WOD 12/07/10

Five rounds for time of:
5 Muscle-ups
60kg Power clean, 10 reps
Run 200 meters

Subbed 5 ringdips, 5 push ups and 10 pull ups (orange and blue band) for the muscle ups and did a 25kg powerclean.

Time = 22.40

I found the running part of the WOD the hardest. I think the first round is the only round I ran the full 200 metres. I swear I am allergic to running. So f happy that I can now do ring dips. Again - 3 weeks ago I couldn't get out 1 and now I can do 5 in a row. Also tried really hard to practise the kipping motion during the muscle ups and think that pretty soon I will be able to just use the blue band. Powerrcleans started to feel really natural towards the end also.

Also got out 16 unbroken double unders in the warm up.

I have a random bruise on my shin from the ring dips, I have torn skin on my hands from the pull ups and my knees are scarred. These crossfit wounds remind me of how awesome I am.

I had a huge paleo fail on the weekend and ate a lot of crap and then felt like shit for the rest of the weekend. Serves me right. Bad carbs are gross.

Also set myself a goal of attending crossfit 4 times this week and giving up lattes. Lasted 1 day without the latte and had one this morning. Going to try EXTRA hard to not drink anymore coffee for the rest of the week.

I swear I feel like a different person. I am doing things I never thought I'd be able to do. I am seeing myself getting stronger by the day and watching my body change along the way. F you womens magazines with the stupid lanky size 0 models on the cover. I would much rather be a strong crossfitter.
