Wednesday 4/29/15 WOD

I was at the vet with a sick cat until 3:30 on tuesday morning, so I didn't make the tuesday class.  A forced day off. Probably for the better. So todays wod:

30 minute amrap (as many rounds as possible)
1 rope climb
5 snatch
10 clean
20 push press
30 sit ups
40 double unders
run 400 meters

I still can't effectively climb a rope. I'm adding that to EDDs (every damn day). I do 3 rope pulls instead of 1 rope climb. The weight for today was an easy 75 lbs. Ken (the guy in class who is usually first did 95 lbs, and I usually do what he does, but 75 was the intermediate weight for today). My double unders are still a work in progress (I can do them, but can't string them together yet), so we do twice the number of single unders instead. I finished 2 rounds and all the way through to 60 single unders towards the third set. So 2+125. Finished in the top 1/4 of about 12 people. After the clock, I finished my single unders and ran the 400 meters with Mary Jo and another woman to finish out 3 rounds. Just because.

Busy work day today. Will try and get to my push ups, sit ups, and pull ups this evening. I won't be at the gym the next 4 days because I'll be working on replacing my roof as the temp/humidity will be okay for the last 4 days before full on summer.

Added 30 sit ups for 120 for the day.
61 push ups.

Monday 4/27/15

All my good intentions slept late this morning. My plans for getting to the gym a hour early for mobility work were sidelined by awaking at 4 AM from being so hot I could not stay in bed. Air conditioned at 72 degrees and a ceiling fan over me on medium and I'm sweating like crazy. I walk around the house for a while until I feel cooler. Back to bed with no sheet over me and let the fan do it's work. Awake at 9:10 AM and class is in 20 minutes (and a 15 minute road trip). 5 minutes late to class. Not fully wake. Missed some of the warm up. EDD next (every damn day). I work on my doubleunders and overhead squat. For the first time I was able to do a double under followed by a single. Progress! The overhead squat with a 10 lb bar.
Front squats are next. My previous 1RM was 185. I did 195 today. It didn't feel great however. I really wanted more mobility in my legs. If I had made the hour early mobility work, this would have been a piece of cake.
The WOD:
21-15-9
Front squat
Push press
Pull-ups

I'm in the 95 lb group. I still can't do pull-ups, so I do ring rows. My time was 14:16. Last one in my class I think. Previous class had  4 or 5 with later times. I'm the oldest, tallest, and heaviest in today's class (as usual).


Homework:
100 situps
51 pushups
Bike 6 miles

Homework

Nearly 9 months of crossfit now. I guess I'm a crossfitter! I do want to start keeping track of what is going on with me from now on. I have decided to really do this. Set goals (double unders, pull-ups, and overhead squats are what I put down about a month ago). Do extra work at home. I was miserable at situps a couple of weeks ago, and that used to be easy for me (Well shit, Jerry, everything used to be easy!). So sit-ups every day after class if there were no sit-ups. Push ups every day whether or not there were pushups. Pull ups every day. And more biking to save my knees for running in class. The bike I added yesterday with 6 miles also. Need to get my ass used to the saddle again and my quads , though much stronger than before crossfit, have to get used to the continuos pedaling again. Looking forward to tomorrows class.

10 pull-ups with band (green and purple) assistance.
8 sets of 10/28 lbs incline db curls
85 situps
41 pushups
Bike 6 miles
