Ouch

My legs are wrecked. It hurts to move around, literally. They are sore to the touch. I tried to go for a run/walk yesterday morning and the transition from walking to jogging was really painful.

Yesterday’s WOD was really hard on me. Here’s what we did yesterday:

Warm-up

  • 6 minute row
  • Stretches
  • Group Warm Up
  • 3x – 7 squat snatches, 14 double unders

The first 10-20 pulls on the rower were pure agony. My legs were so stiff and sore despite the stretching and activity that I had done. Ouch!

Skill

  • Tabata Row (damper on 4) – I got 877m or something like that. My power quit after round 3. Fio had us turn the display to show wattage and strokes per minute. While I kept a pretty good s/m ratio, my wattage fell pretty considerably after the 2nd round (Close to 500 to about 250, so about 1/2).

WOD

12 Minute AMRAP

  • 15 KB Swings
  • 20 Sit ups
  • 30 Squats

I managed to get 4 rounds plus 1 KB swing. I started off with the 1.5 pood, but it quickly started putting strain on my back, so I dropped it to 1 pood. I encountered the same exact problem with sit ups that I did last time. I got to about 40 and my top 4 ab muscles started to spasm out of control. Fun. I had to do the rest of the sit ups pressing as hard as I could on my stomach. The squats were just awful. This was the longest 12 minutes I have experienced in a while.
