The last few workouts have been nothing short of brutal. On Friday (2/12/2010), we did this lovely number:
- 10 cleans
- 10 burpees
- 10 jerks
- 10 burpees
- 10 clean & jerks
- 10 burpees
- 10 jerks
- 10 burpees
- 10 cleans
I finished this one on 10:44 (Rx’d with a 135lb bar). I really liked this one. It was fun and pretty challenging.
I didn’t go to open gym on Saturday because we had the garage sale for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Thanks to the people who helped with their time and to the people that donated things to sell. Mostly, thanks to Crossfit Cedar Park for letting us do it there. It was a great location and we raised about $300. Not bad for 1/2 a Saturday of selling people’s junk.
Last night (2/15/2010), I went to the gym in the morning to drop off some macaroons to sell. While I was there, I happened to see the WOD and then dreaded it for the rest of the day. When I arrived at 5pm, I warmed up and then had butterflies until this thing started:
4 burpees on the minute while completing:
- 20 Thrusters
- 20 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls
- 20 Push Jerks
- 20 Overhead Squats
- 20 Front Squats
It didn’t seem SO bad when I first started, but, as with any “on the minute do something” workout, it got bad really fast. The fastest time for this workout in the sectionals was in between 3 and 4 minutes. Wow!
The longer time goes on, the more frustrating this thing gets. Just as you’re about to pick the bar up, the clock beeps and it’s time to do burpees again. BLARG!
Anyway, my time was 14:42. I was pretty happy with this, mostly that I finished in under 20 minutes.
