Firstly, I want to say that I am really proud of myself for not wussing out over the last week and a half and going to every workout I had scheduled for myself. There have certainly been times where I really didn’t want to. Especially, being sick, I really haven’t felt like doing anything but laying around.

Anyway, today, I made the mistake of looking at the WOD before class (thank you, Google Reader). I finally felt that feeling of dread that my friends Ryon and Cindy had told me about. Still though, I was intrigued. We have great coaches at Tillman, so I knew they’d help me through it.

The workout was:

Death by 10 meters. (for every minute, run the round number of 10 meter laps)

Followed by a Tabata workout (8 sets each, 20s on 10s rest) of:

• Kettle Bell Swings
• Air Squats

3 things. Just 3 things. Never underestimate just 3 things.

I made it through 16 minutes of the “death by 10 meters” before I felt that my heart was going to break my ribs. I couldn’t start the 17th round on time. This is deceivingly hard. The first 8 or so rounds aren’t really bad, but once the running time becomes greater than the rest time, you are in trouble.

As far as the Tabata set went, at Crossfit, they have us count total reps for the entire set. My total amount of reps was 166.

I would like to write more, but after Master Joe’s meteor fist class this morning, then morning class, then work all day, then Crossfit, I am shot. I am happy to do nothing else tonight.
