“Kelly”

Five rounds for time of:
Run 400m
30 Box Jump (24″/20″)
30 Wall Ball (20#/14#)

I didn’t know what to expect from this workout. I knew it would be long; the running alone would take between 10 and 15 minutes. There would be no way I’d be able to finish this workout with a 20# ball, and I was hesitant to use a 14# ball since I had to switch from a 14# to a 10# the last time I did wall balls (10 days ago). I also haven’t been good with 24″ box jumps. I always would jump all the way up with straight legs instead of jumping and landing in a squat, then standing up.

I made it through the whole thing. Wall balls were slow, but good; box jumps too. During the third round, I decided that I would do only four rounds.  I was just too tired; the workout sucked.  After the fourth round, however, I was too tired to remember that I had made that decision until about 10 steps after I started running. I couldn’t really stop now. I struggled through the last round with Darren finishing a couple of minutes before me.

Splits:

• 6:16
• 2:02 run / 4:41 box jumps & wall balls
• 2:13 / 5:20
• 2:24 / 6:09
• 2:36 / 5:15

Time: 36:56

The workout today was hard, but didn’t leave me completely comatose for the next half-hour.

6 rounds of:

30 sec. rowing (count calories), 30 sec. rest
30 sec. wall balls, 30 sec rest
30 sec. mountain climbers (count each foot), 30 sec. rest.

In the first round, my rowing power was 13 cal, and was down to 8 by the last.  I started with a 14# med ball, but I could barely do the exercise by the third round, so I switched to a 10# ball.

Score: 400

After the WOD, we had a gymnastics fundimentals lesson, where we learned the hollow and arch positions.  We learned them on the ground by doing hollow hold/rocks, and arch holds/rocks.  I could barely do the hollow hold, and couldn’t get a single hollow rock.  My back strength is quite lacking.  Something else to work on.  *Sigh*
