I am back on the CF grid after a 4 day hiatus in Salt Lake City, Sundance, Provo, and Park City, UT for a company sales meeting. I didn't sleep more than 4 hrs per night, ate crap for the most part, drank some very good local draft beer Thursday night, and didn't burn a single calorie in almost 4 days. Perfect. I thought I had gained 12 lbs, but actually lost .5 lb! How, I have no idea...I didn't burn a single calorie in 3+ days.
I went to the gym this morning, caught up on WOD's from Friday - "Jackie" and Saturday - 5K. I ran the 5K first on the treadmill at Cardinal Fitness.
5K 26:58
I was very happy with this, I was hoping to break 27:00. I hadn't run this far in probably a month or so. I used to run a 5K 3-4 times per week before CF. My goal is to break 24:00, but that will take losing about 25 lbs to get my speed up. Overall I was happy, could have been much worse.
Rested 10 minutes, then prepared for "Jackie."
As someone stated on the CrossFit BrandX website, it looks easy, but will probably be a bitch. The easy WOD's always end up kicking arse.
100 SDHP (Sumo Deadlift High Pulls-shin to chin) 45# bar
50 Thrusters (Front squat with a press at the top of the squat) 45# bar
30 pull Ups - I did jumping
Total time: 14:28
I think I must have used 4 full minutes to rest between rep and exercises, slowing my time terribly. I suspect doing the 5k immediately before the WOD didn't help anything at all, I was spent going into it, but pushed through it. I was wrecked afterwards, sweated profusely. Great time, great workout. Thank you CrossFit.
