Yesterday's WOD was so terrible I didn't even want to revisit it on this blog.
WOD
5 RFT
6 Thrusters 135 lbs (Rx)
12 KBS 62 lbs (Rx)
24 HR Push-ups
23:54
Yep. 24 minutes of awful. 135 lbs is so freakin' heavy!! There was supposedly a 20 minute time cap on this workout, so once I was getting close, I just wanted to wave the white flag and take a DNF. But, in true CrossFit fashion, 2 of my classmates and the coach got on my ass to finish off the workout, whatever it took. So I summoned whatever willpower I had left, finished off the last round of thrusters, managed the KBSs unbroken, and then slogged through the push-ups. Even Coach Dave, who usually takes a pretty unsympathetic attitude toward me, told the other coach to take it easy because I "looked like I was dying".
In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have attempted to Rx this one. When I showed up I was kind of excited about the WOD because the heavier-than-usual weights seemed like a good change of pace.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger though, supposedly. Which is why the following day was so exciting...
