Don't know if I was knackered from the last few days or if this session was harder than it looked but I was struggling this morning:

AMRAP 12
30 double unders (really struggled to string these together)
20 box jumps 24"
10 Power Snatch @40kg (these were horrendous but did them unbroken)

4 lazy rounds with about 20 seconds to spare but didn't have it in me to run and pick up the rope.

8 weeks including this one until the biggest CF comp of the year (the crossfit open) and I am going to have to be prepared to batter myself a bit if I'm going to get where I want to be!

This morning:

This morning:

Came back and had another go at the 10 min time trial on the ergo:

1:47.4 pace, 2790? ish... r25

Totally wussed out with 3 mins to go. Was on for sub 1:43 really. I'm just not being tough enough when the pain kicks in.

On the good side, this really didn't hurt that much, on reflection, so I know once I'm tougher that there's a lot more to come.

Setting a small goal of 3000m sub 10 mins before the open( sub 1:40 pace). 7 and a bit weeks away.

Nice rowing! I find that's the hardest thing when you haven't done that kind of distance recently: mental focus and plain old stubbornness. Happy The variety of movement in typical CF workouts doesn't quite match the grind of a longish row.

Cheers Macroth, yep that's exactly right. It's a totally different kind of pain and sometimes it's just soul destroying!

Last night
from 0-3 mins

2 rounds of
10 OHS @45kg
20 double unders

from 3-6
2 rounds of
12 OHS @45kg
24 double unders

etc.

Continued this pattern and got through round 14 in full and both rounds of 16 in the OHS but only the first round of dubs and 8 of the second round.

288 reps. Not bad I think. Getting into the 18s would be a lot.

This morning:

EMOM 12
8 wall balls
8 burpees

sucked. Just trying to get loads of volume at open type movements over the next couple of months.

Quick little session after work, bit of a half run through for a comp I'll be doing this week

AMRAP 10
9 deads, 6 power clean, 3 STOH, 20 dubs
Start at 40 and add 10kg each round

Got through the round of 70kg after 5:50 ish and figured that'd do for now. Easy really, would like to get through the round of 100kg on the day!

3x10 an rollouts too. Core is getting stronger, has just taken persistency!

This morning.


Felt truly awful warming up and a bit rushed tbh.

Had another pop at Open wod 14.5

21/18/15/12/9/6/3 of Thrusters @42.5kg and bar facing burpees

Total time 12:38

Nearly stopped during the round of 18.

This time would have got me basically top 500 in Europe in 2014. Top 250 would be 11:45. Top 100 just dipped under 11.

On a good day I wouldn't be far off.......
