Crap. Totally forgot to log yesterday's workout. I'm getting forgetful in my old age.
Strength Skill:
"Get angry," Tim said as I failed to get the bar up past my knees on my final set. I was attempting a double-bodyweight deadlift, which would match my previous PR (
set waaaay back in February of 2011), and I'd gassed out after barely getting the plates off the ground.
I put on my best Hulk scowl, got set, grabbed the barbell, and pulled the hell out of it. My legs shook as I struggled to clear my knees, and as I finally stood upright with the bar, my head started to swim. I dropped the bar and plopped my butt on the floor. But I was smiling. No new PR, but close!
Metcon:
For time:
- 240-meter farmer's walk with a pair of 53-pound kettlebells
- 45 wall ball shots (20-pound ball, 10-foot-high target)
- 240-meter farmer's walk with a pair of 53-pound kettlebells
- 45 burpees
I'm glad I was able to complete the first 240-meter course without once putting down the kettlebells, but I had less success with the rest of the WOD. Wall balls are not my forte, and I ended up repeatedly stopping for rest breaks during the second farmer's walk. Plus, the burpees completely kicked my ass, despite doing my best to stick to
Carl Paoli's burpee pointers.
Result: 12:17 as RXed.
Still: It's good to be back.
