Cindy

Posted on Jan 18, 2007 - 7:15pm by MarkFu in Training Log

This was a workout that did not go so well. I went to the track at Corona del Mar High School to do a few 400 meter runs to calibrate the foot pod of my Polar S625X heart rate monitor. (Since I had trouble doing so, I ran 4 laps around the track). that made for a decent warm-up. Once there, I decided to do “Cindy” there as there was a rickety pull-up bar I could use. I was going to do jumping pull-ups and the bar was too high up, I had to do a MacGyver-like job of finding something to give me a boost. I found a pallet and a 5# bucket filled with concrete. It turned out to be unstable with the bucket falling over and screwing with my time. Long story short, I did 18+ rounds when I could have done 21 or 22. Cindy is 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats and is one of the benchmark wods. By far, I did best on the push-ups.

Today will be a rest day and tomorrow I go to the first day of my Crossfit Certification, joined by Brent, and 3 others from Crossfit Marina. Steve will be a trainer and Denise will be there, perhaps as atrainer as well. This will be held at the Orange County Fire Authority HQ on Jamboree Road in Tustin.

Fight Gone BadAlmost did not make it over to the House of Pain today, but I rallied and showed up just in time to do one of the famous benchmark WODs called Fight Gone Bad. Here is a description from the Crossfit HQ page of fun that followed: Three rounds of: Wall-ball,...

Angie Comes To TownOne of the Crossfit “Girls”, Angie stopped by for a 22 minute visit. (It seemed so much longer)! This is one of the benchmark WODS that focuses on cardiovascular bodyweight exercises and is relatively steady-state, with a pick up in activity at the start of the next exercise. That little...
