Isabel

30 Squat snatches for time (Men 135 lbs, Women 85 lbs)

My time: 6:32 - 65 lbs

***
I really thought I had previously done this "as prescribed" at MPCrossfit (95 lbs) but I was mistaken.

Past Isabel times/weights:
45 lbs in 2:14 on 8/18/09 (coming back from shoulder injury)
55 lbs in 11:42 on 4/14/09 - (first attempt at Isabel)
and today's.

I was thinking of Grace (30 clean & jerk) which I have actually done at 95 lbs several times.
**

25 burpees

Also did snatch balances during the warm-up
5 @ 55
3 @ 65
2 @ 75

supposed to do 3 sets of 5 at 85, but I only did one set of 5

Then did squat snatches: 85 (failed), 75 (failed), 65 - 5 reps

Sunday

24 burpees

Saturday

And I should have done the Rx weight of 100 lbs - I know I could have done it!!

3 @ 165
2 @ 195

3 x 5 @ 195
1 @ 235 just for grins

….and 22 burpees

Downhill towards the weekend.

I was tempted to sleep in this morning when I saw the workout included box jumps. But I went anyway. Can't pick and choose - fat never sleeps!

WOD:

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

30 Box jumps (Men 24” box, Women 20” box)
20 Pull-ups
10 Ring dips

My total: 3 rounds + 13 box jumps

My pull ups felt pretty good in the first round, had 8 consecutive for the first time in a long time, and some sets of 5. Hoping to get back to 10's and 12's...someday a 15. Second round I got supremely frustrated with box jumps, started to cry, forced my self to mentally "regroup" and got back in there. Not my finest day at CrossFit by any means, but I finished, and some days that's all that counts for me.

1 round official warm up, plus some burpees because I screwed up on the squat count. oops
Then four lengths of the gym of overhead walking lunges with 25 lb wt. (approx 40 lunges)

1 mile run after the warm-up. Pretty slow, but I ran: 10:51

And...tomorrow's workout sounds challenging but fun, so I will look forward to it.

Burpee challenge: 19 burpees

After the usual warm up (squats, pull ups, push ups, sit ups, dips) we had two minutes for each of the following exercises to see how many reps we could get:

double unders – 21 (this is huge for me!)
knees to elbows – 22
military sit ups – 43
push ups – 30

My double-unders are coming along, I actually got a set of 5 and then a set of 7. The rest were ones and twos. But much improvement on double unders since moving to Jenks. Yay!!

Back at it...

3 Rounds for time of:

400 Meter run
10 Front Squats (Men 185 lbs, Women 125 lbs)
15 Deadlifts (Men 185 lbs, Women 125 lbs)

My time: 15:25 - used 100 lbs.
(Frustrating because I could have done the 125 deadlifts easily, but cleaning 125 and then doing the front squats...not so much, so I scaled back).

Warm-up was fun this morning. 15 squats, pu, plu, dips, a few burpees with each individual move on breck's count. I goofed up. ha !

Then 500 singles, with a 3 Knees to Elbows penalty for each miss. I missed only 4 times (breaking at each 100) so I did 12 k2e. I love them anyway so it wasn't that much of a penalty for me really.

I love CrossFit!!!

Ugh!

I'm so sick of being nauseated all the time. It wears me down. (Enough whining, right?)

Todays' WOD:

Ok, these wall-ball burpees were horrible. Ball clean into full squat then wall-ball shot, and burpee off the ball. The burpee part was hilarious. Depending on where I hit the ball, I would either do a really good push up, or be struggling to stay on the ball and rolling around like an idiot. Mostly the latter...it was hilarious, if nothing else. Different. Fun. Fun when it was over.

Pull ups felt good today. Need to increase consecutive numbers of reps - stop having a preconceived notion of how many I "can do". Push harder!!

Ohh...Francis...we meet again. This was my first time to do this one as prescribed, and I really was hoping for under 10 minutes. I disppointed myself by ONE second, and I know exactly, precisely where I could have shaved off, oh, at least 30 seconds...stopping for water. Breathing. Thinking. Yeah...those are all a waste of time, apparently!!
