R.J. (a Hero WOD) is really tough. When I looked at the <a href=\"http:\/\/crossfit.com\" target=\"_blank\">main site<\/a> last night and saw this WOD, my first thought was literally &#8220;fuck that shit, are they serious?&#8221;. Yeah&#8230; I&#8217;ll tell you what I really think.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the WOD&#8230; do you think the same that I did? <\/p>\n<p>5 rounds<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>800m run<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; 15ft rope ascents<\/li>\n<li>50 push ups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Riiiiiigght. <\/p>\n<p>DNF&#8217;d. My first one. I only did 2 rounds and it took me 27:something. I say &#8220;something&#8221; because the &#8220;coach&#8221; (more like, the guy running the class) had to run across the box to get his stop watch as they don&#8217;t have a large red LED clock. I also say &#8220;something&#8221; because I really just didn&#8217;t have it in me this morning and I am just happy I got to move around a bit. <\/p>\n<p>I wanted to start a new format for how I write about my workouts. I know most of you who read this don&#8217;t care what I write. I write this for myself mostly to track what I do and look back on it. Who needs books and writing, right? <\/p>\n<p>So here goes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What went well in this WOD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My 2 800m runs went well. I didn&#8217;t feel too much pain and I didn&#8217;t have to stop for walking breaks. Taking the stairs back up to the 3rd floor after each really sucks though. My push ups were OK as well. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What needs improvement? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My pull ups are definitely not where they used to be. I am having quite a bit of pain on my hands from all of the ripping lately and I just don&#8217;t seem to be getting the rhythm of the kipping pull up back as quickly as I would have liked. I think it&#8217;s time to buy some gloves as my elbow is no longer hurting. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the overall feeling for this WOD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tired and sluggish. We have been eating really poorly so this is expected. Garbage in, garbage out. I am SO ready to get back home, eating quality paleo food. I can&#8217;t wait to start food logging, tweaking, dialing, and basically feeling better again. <\/p>\n<p>The pizza, burgers, bagels, and whatever else are all delicious, but they are killing me. Am I being lazy about it? Absolutely. The truth is that I don&#8217;t really feel like hauling groceries up to the 4th floor then cooking everything in a tiny, uncomfortable kitchen that doesn&#8217;t really have the cooking equipment that I need. So, we have been eating out a lot. It&#8217;s really hard to stay on track when there are so many options that are novelties (i.e. stuff that I can&#8217;t get in Austin). No, I am not saying &#8220;I can&#8217;t live without my ____________&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/wallyslife.blogspot.com\/2010\/06\/no-you-dont-gotta-have.html\" target=\"_blank\">shout out to Mark<\/a>), I am just saying that I will not have the chance to eat this stuff for a while, so I&#8217;m living it up. <\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; everything comes with a price. <\/p>\n<p>That price is feeling like absolute crap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/crossfitcp.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\">CFCP<\/a> coaches, you will have your work cut out for you when we get back.&#160; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoa!
