Sectionals WOD #1 - Take 2

10 minutes AMRAP:
30 double unders
15 ground-to-overhead @ 55 lbs <- I did clean and jerk, my feet got REALLY tired from all the jumping.

5 rounds +30 double unders = 255. No pukey. Hooray!

Then strict chin up - strict ring dip ascending ladder (1-3) x 5; rest 1 minute -- I only did 2 rounds of this, my tricep wasn't feeling it. Especially in the morning, I don't really want to push myself through certain types of pain. It's part of my No More Injuries plan.

Warmup included straight leg deadlifts w/kb, and I chose too heavy and my hamstrings sort of went apeshit on me. Crap.

Snatch: 12 minutes - build to a heavy single - 55-85

Then 4 rounds of:
Deadlift 3-3-3-3 @ 11X1 tempo @ 85-115-115-115, rest 30 seconds (focus on speed up)
Max double unders in 30 seconds, rest 90 seconds

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Sprints today were mostly 8 seconds. Got up to 14.5 mph, which still isn't fast enough for me to feel like I'm really opening it up. I might actually ask the trainer to make it harder....I might also regret that.
Warmup:
Some jumprope, then 2 rounds of:
60 second plank
3 dips (I did negatives, early morning dips seemed silly as a warmup)
6 jumping lunges
9 ring rows

Workout:
4 rounds of:
200m row
15 pullups
10 burpees
rest/walk 5 minutes

2:22
3:00
2:55
2:34

Figured out how to get my pullups more efficient in the last round. Pullups were DEFINITELY the limiting factor here.

Monday, March 14, 2011

~200m row, then decided I needed another day recovery.

1st round of CrossFit Games Sectionals is this week! Get. Excited.

10 squats
10 split squats per leg
10 good mornings
10 pushups

Workout:
1 min. run, slowish, flattish
a bunch of 12 seconds sprint, 8 seconds hold onto the bar, steep and 9mph-ish, jumping leg press machine in between
a bunch of 8 seconds sprint, 12 seconds hold, steep and faster, planks in between
a bunch of more sprinting. 8 seconds?
a bunch of more sprinting, 4 seconds
last sprint was I think 8 seconds, 13mph, flattish
then more planky things

Hard.
For total reps:
4 rounds of:
1 min. double unders
1 min. wall balls (14lb)
1 minute walking lunges
3 min. rest

90/11/43 in the first round, that's the only one I remember

Monday, March 7, 2011

for time:
800m row
50 push press @85lb
50 kb swings (16kg)
50 box jumps (24")

I got through the 27th kb swing and strained my left forearm as I was setting the kb down to rest. Stopped there. Boo.

I averaged around 2:05 on the row though, that wasn't bad. I was probably on pace for finishing in 15:00-ish.
