Crossfit: Week 4, Day 4

WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yesterday was rough.  It was my first 'team' WOD and I spent a lot of the day with some anxiety about 'letting my partner down' but in the end I didn't do that.

We had an odd number of people in the late class so the owner/head instructor said he'd work out with me.  Talk about pressure.

WOD
100/80/60/40/20
Kettleball Swings (35#)
Russian Twist (14# Ball)
200m Hill run

Finished: 26:50

So as a 'team' you're on the hook each round of that for rounds reps.  First was 100 of each.  The coach was much better than this I was.  So I would say instead of a true 50/50 split it was more of a 60/40 but I gave it 100% for sure.  I started with 35# KB swings and thought I might have to go down a few pounds but I gutted it out.  Part of it was not wanting to look bad for the coach and some was 60/40 guilt but whatever it was I used that weight for the whole exercise.  I still need to work on my running/sprinting if I want to improve my time.  I guess my cardio is improving but it's a slow process.

Anyways, ended up with a great workout and probably pushed myself harder than I have usually.  Win/Win.
