8-30-2012


Thursday 8-30-2012

Quick warm-up, started session with some power clean tech work, light, 45# and 95#. Focus on hitting pockets. Then this MAP session:

5 x 3 min @90%, 3 min rest:
  1. row 150m, 5 burpees: 3 rds
  2. 25 du, 3 strict chin ups: 5rds + 7du. chin-ups (pron. grip) harder than expected. no du sets ub, kept hitting furniture etc with rope.
  3. 10 switch lunge, 10 sit-up, 10 push-up: 5rd? + 6 lunge. push-ups a struggle to keep hips from sagging.
  4. 5 KTE, 10 air squats, 10 DU: 5 rds + 5 kte/6as. broke x1 on du otherwise better.  
  5. row: 794m. started too hard, big power drop-off from 770-741-710 avg watts/min.
Some thoughts: I've got to work out some things about these midweek sessions, because I'm coming home hungry, low-energy. Maybe I'll start warming up outside, get some sunshine/fresh air to start the session. Or even figure out some ways to train outdoors, at the track or the football field.
Overall, despite the frustrations of feeling pretty un-conditioned, it's good to be back in a more regular training routine. These first few weeks in the new job have been tough, sometimes with a lot of self-doubt, and at some point that ran over into an ambivalence about crossfit, about whether I wanted to train and compete at all. So now, to commit and to get started, feels like I'm at least on the right track.
