A classic! This song is so badass, even after all these years. This song came out when I was in 3rd grade, I believe. And I love this song as much as I did as an 8 year old. Anyways, it was like old school music day at Crossfit. Today, for only the second time, I did two workouts!
First, WOD:
21-15-9: Shoulder to Overhead (S2OH) and Toes to Bar (TTB) 10 minute cap
I scaled this to do 55 lbs and only knees to chest. I didn't even finish. I missed the last 9 reps, but I am really super bad at TTBs. It's a goal of mine to be able to do them, well.
Did I mention the 800m run and 10 wall walk WARM UP? Yikes.
After the 21-15-9, then we did 15 split jerks EMOTMx15 minutes. That's freaking hard. I couldn't max out, or even reach my last PR (105 lbs). But I worked with Empho, and she was really encouraging and positive.
Then, for some reason, I decided to stay for Skinnyfit, which was:
Tabata Russian KB swings
Tabata Jump Rope
Tabata Med Ball Thrusters
Tabata Sit Ups
Followed by 10 min AMRAP of 200m partner runs
Matt had us work outside and I like Tabata because I don't have to think about reps or endurance. You just push as hard as you can for 20 sec at a time. I had some trouble with my instep with the jump roping (Asian flat feet are a buzzkill to Crossfit, sometimes). When I came home, I rolled my feet on a frozen lacrosse ball, and they seem to have calmed down. The Tabata was hard, but it's only 16 minutes total, just a tough 16 minutes. Elizabeth stayed with me, too, and we partnered for the 200m runs. I did 4 rounds, and she did 5. I ran hard. I usually wimp out into a jog, but I kept my pace up, pretty well. Matt noticed that I was using a better format to run. One of the many reasons I love Crossfit is the fact that the coaches actually coach, and they coach everyone. At a gym, I would feel lost and totally independent, but at this box, it's a team.
Ate well, today. Ate consciously. Didn't overeat at all. Needed more water.
Slow process, but I'm getting there!
