Back in the Saddle - Bring the Pain - WOD for 10/5/09
So I signed up over at CrossFit Malicious about a month ago. Went on Labor Day. Came back in the following week, haven’t been back since. A familiar pattern when I have been working too much. But today I decided I needed to get back into it no matter what. Glad I did, but during the workout I sure as heck wasn’t. It was a lot of pain, dizziness, and for the last 10 minutes or so I was on the brink of vomiting. Yeah I have really let it go. Don’t get me wrong, CrossFit workouts are never easy, but this one wouldn’t have been so horrific six months ago.
I knew I was in trouble when my back was locked up after the warmup. By the way, this is why they say, your workout is our warmup. No joke.
Warmup - 3 rounds of 10 reps each
- Double Unders - I did 40 jump ropes each round instead since I still suck at double unders.
- Pullups - Rubber Band assisted and it was still hard. The bar is a little higher at this gym, then it was at the previous establishment.
- Situps on the Hyperextension Machine
- Hypers
- 45lb Overhead Squats
Now on to the WOD, or Workout of the Day
3 rounds for time
- 75 air squats
- 15 ring dips
- 15 KTE - Knees to Elbows
I only finished with two rounds, and my time was horrible. A combination of heat, dehydration and just plain being out of shape killed me. But it’s going to take some time. I realize that. This time I’m not going to let it slide again!
