Already Feeling Better

I’m already feeling much better tonight, so I decided to do a quick garage WOD. This was the first time really using the rings after putting them up in my garage.

5 rounds

  • 5 Ring Dips
  • 10 Ring Rows
  • 20 AbMat Sit-ups

Dips and rows are both weaknesses on the rings and a good push-pull combo to work on. I threw in the sit-ups because you can never work too much on the abs, right? I finished in 10:07 doing each round in pretty consistent times.

In other news, I got my latest order from Progenex today and I’m excited to get on the Omega+, which is a krill oil product to use in place of fish oil because it’s better. I ran out of fish oil last week and I’m confident I wouldn’t have been so sore from the competition if I had still been taking some. Live and learn.

So Sore

I don’t know how the athletes do so many events in the CrossFit Games. Yesterday and today have been a struggle. After sitting around most of the day yesterday I went out for a long walk of almost 5 miles. It felt good to get moving. I was thinking I’d be ready to get in a WOD today, but I attempted to do an air squat and it was difficult.

So I was thinking of doing a sprint workout tonight at one of the high school tracks, but our trainer Matt said he was up for doing something. So I picked him up and we went to the box to do a bit of work.

Warm-up

5 rounds

  • 500m Row
  • 500m Run

Took us over 23 minutes to do this. We kept a good pace and each had a bit of time to rest after the row because we waited for the other guy to get in from the run before starting our own run.

WOD

50 yard Prowler Sled Pulls

  • 120#
  • 165#
  • 190#
  • 215#
  • 240#
  • 240#
  • 240#

We weren’t doing this for time or anything. We took turns and some break time in between switches. Felt good and really loosened me up. Tomorrow I’ll be good to go.
