What’s Fun as a Kid is Work as an Adult.
28 Jan
Today’s Crossfit WOD: AMRAP 20 Minutes:
- 150m Row
- 10 In n’ Outs (An exercise on the Parallelettes, not tasty hamburgers from the Western-US-only (Much to my chagrin) chain. Trust me, halfway through the allotted time, you’ll wish it was the burgers. Although if it WERE the burgers, you probably would vomit. But, I digress)
- 15 Box Jump (20″ Box)
Completed 8 Rounds plus the Rowing and In-n’-Outs of the 9th.
Wow, rowing, jumping, and playing on parallel bars! An 8-year-olds dream workout becomes an adult’s nightmare. Yes, you little bastard, once you weigh more than 30lbs these movements will seem difficult to you, too!
I was really pleased with my performance today. I think that today’s WOD played into whatever strengths I had when I joined Crossfit. I have done acrobatic type stuff such as the In-n-Outs and, of course, lots of jumping from the katas for years now. The difference is, as I’ve said before, that of degree, not kind!
Once again I upped the intensity and actually beat my goal of 8 rounds. I stayed afterwards to practice the kipping pullups, and reached a personal record of 8 consecutive.
Baby steps…
