Long and Grueling WOD

Posted on Dec 29, 2006 - 8:54am by MarkFu in Training Log

Steve told me at the start this was “Jackie” repeated three times instead of just doing it once, so this was one you just had to pace yourself. It was 3 rounds of 1000 meters rowing, 50 x 45# Thrusters and 60 jumping pull-ups or 30 kipping pull-ups. Unlike the picture, we were outdoors, dark and about 40 degrees. The barbell and pull-up bars were ccccold. I went into this with little energy and left with less, 42:01 later.

Deadlifts, 7×1 I love deadlift day, but I showed up with little energy and focus for lfiting today as I was at the end of a long cycle. I'm wupped! It was an interesting session at the gym. The guy next to me was doing power cleans and front squats and...

An Extended Warm-UpI don't train much in the morning these days except on the weekend. It is a nice change-up though and the rest of day goes better it seems. The energy in the gym is good and there are a lot of the familiar faces I see during my regular times...

CindyI have been thinking about but procrastinating doing Cindy for some time, but when I saw it posted today on the Crossfit site, I decided today would be the day. I entered the gym with low energy and enthusiasm for the workout, but once I got started, it went pretty...
Deadlifting in the DarkAs I headed off for the gym it was a dark sky and late afternoon was turning into the dark of the evening. As I pulled into the parking lot, the lights were off in the gym and the adjacent businesses. For some reason, the power outage only affected that...
