Yeah you read that right. Can you believe that shit. It was absolutely miserable. It crushed a lot of people at the gym. It was hard and the deadlifts sucked. The OHS were such light weight you thought you would be able to get through it pretty quick and then get to the deadlifts but even with the light weight it still sucked. My time was somewhere around 32 min.
Wednesday I was traveling up to Burbank to hangout with mom for the holiday and I decided to stop by Crossfit – Elite Fitness Academy to get in a workout. I met Eric the owner and he was a really cool guy. He has a really good gym and I really like the way that it is set up. All of the space outside is really nice and it would be cool if we could do some more workouts outside. The WOD was AMRAP of 55# SDHP and 16# wall ball at 8 feet. I completed 7 rounds. It felt really good to come into the gym and get the same number of rounds as the highest girl. That’s where my competitiveness comes out. Plus I also feel like I am representing Crossfit Coronado and Andy so I make sure to get some and go hard.
Thursday I spent the day with mom and had Thanksgiving dinner. We had Cornish Game hens and some veggies, rolls and a slice of pie for dessert. It was good and not Zone friendly!
Friday the gym had one workout for everyone. It was a tabata mash up with HSPU, Wall Ball, Ring push ups and SDHP. You keep score by counting only the lowest number rep at each station. Mine were 2 at the HSPU (I did negs), 6 at wall ball (20#) 6 at ring push ups (did them from my knees so that I could get full range of motion) and 10 on SDHP (65#). So my total would be 24. Had the day off of work so I took care of things around the house and got ready for the trip out to the desert that I was going to go on with Josh and Jes from Washington.
Saturday and Sunday I was out in Anza-Borrego again with Josh and Jes. We camped in Hawk canyon and did a few hikes near camp the first night. Then on Sunday we went to Blair Valley and hiked Smugglers canyon and looked at pictographs, and then did Cool canyon to look at the plants that like in the canyon. Both hikes were really cool and we had a really good time. The H’s were in town for a conference and it was really good to be able to hangout with them. Here is a picture of the three of us in The Slot at Anza-Borrego.
Monday WOD: 10 – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 burpee pull-up and the 2 power clean in between each round. 95# Time: 14:40 I really liked this workout. I am strong on the cleans and one pull-up is really easy for me. So it was just the cardio of the burpees combined with the pull-up that took awhile. But overall a fun and that was challenging but fun!
Tuesday WOD: Front Squat I was pretty disappointed with my weight on this one. I feel like I should be able to do more and went home pretty distressed. Oh well you can't get what you want all of the time. My series went 129 - 139 - 149 (f) - 144 - 149 (f). FUCK REALLY WANTED 149! This is a PR for me anyway. Last time it was 133#. So an 11# increase is pretty good.
Wednesday WOD 5 rounds of 5 reps (push jerk, right lunge, left lunge, push press, right lunge, left lunge) 15KTE. 45# I really flew through the OH Lung progression and should have gone up in weight but I knew that I would be slow on the KTE. That was the case but I was still able to do the 45# pretty easily. So my time was fast 13:44 but I should have gone up in weight. I need to push myself more.
