Wednesday's Workout

As if practicing single-leg deadlifts wasn't enough this morning, we were put through a spectacularly hellish metcon today:

4 rounds:

• Row 500 meters - max effort / speed
• 10 barbell roll-outs
• Rest 2 minutes

I know it doesn't sound like much, but did I mention how much I fucking hate rowing? Because I do.

The barbell roll-outs weren't that bad, but rowing a total of 2000 meters with all-out intensity -- after heavy sets of single-leg deadlifts -- was extremely unfun. During my rest breaks between rounds, I rolled around on the floor, clutching my screaming quads and trying like hell to just. stand. up.

"You okay?" Coach asked after I tumbled to the floor after my third round of wild-eyed thrashing on the erg.

No, I was not okay. I was hyperventilating and my legs were exploding.

But I finished.

(My row times: Round 1 - 1:44.9 / Round 2 - 1:49.8 / Round 3 - 1:56.9 / Round 4 - 1:58.7)
