WOD
For Time
21-15-9
Burpee Deadlifts 185 lbs (Rx)
Chest-to-bar Pull-ups (Rx)
400m Run between rounds
14:50
It has been exactly 8 weeks and a day since my first official day of CrossFit and I'm happy to report that I beat everyone, including a few veterans, today.
Burpee deadlifts are simply regular deadlifts, but after returning the bar to the floor (don't let go of the bar), you perform a burpee by kicking your legs out, doing a push-up, and jumping your feet back to the starting position.
I'm not sure why things went so well today. I partly think that the two guys who usually crush me kind of let me have this one. But overall, each movement in this workout is something I've specifically worked on in the last several weeks, so perhaps this was the union of all things I've practiced into one WOD.
It was pretty funny to see Hector's (usually one of the strongest in my class) face when we finished our last C2B Pull-ups at the same time and I darted out the door. He was right on my heels the entire time, which is why I think he sort of gave it away to me, but I wanted to make sure I'd keep a whatever little bit I had in the tank just in case he tried to make a move in the final 50 meters.
All in all, a really great day :)
