Today I felt like CrossFit's purpose is to make me learn to love life by hating 30 minutes of it each day. To quote the wise Steve G., "it's like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer...because it feels so good to stop."
WOD:
4 RFT
10 Left-hand KB Snatch (44 lbs)
20 Burpees
10 Right-hand KB Snatch
400m Run
23:37
I know I say this almost every post, but this WOD was brutal. I was originally going to do this exercise with a 35 lb kettle bell but the instructor had me move up to a 44 lb. And though the snatches get difficult after a while, they are nothing compared to the 20 burpees and the running. I'm still astounded by how tired I get from doing burpees. And running is always awful.
For the final 100m of the workout, I decided to push it a little to shave a few seconds off my time. For the final 25m I was sprinting (or what felt like an all-out sprint). By the time I crossed the line, nausea, slight delirium, shortness of breath, and a dull headache all came on at once. I'm not sure if it was the workout, a lack of hydration, or poor cardiovascular condition, but it was an interesting palette of sensations.
