My workout ended up changing pretty much until I actually did it. My friend Amber and her boyfriend who does CrossFit as well, came up to the hospital at lunch. Matt and I started talking, and the plan was for him to meet me at the gym for a workout. I was actually excited. Someone to seriously CrossFit with. We had planned to meet at 7 after the Aqua Fit class. Well...he had to help Amber's grandparents move furniture, and by the time he got done, it was almost 7 and he hadn't eaten, so he asked for a raincheck. Which I will give him the rain check, but he will have some kind of burpee penatly!!
I know that CFDC had the clean and press for the WOD, but I was not feeling comfortable with my clean without having an additional person to watch my form. Hurting my back is NOT going to be beneficial to me. Especially with school starting in less than two weeks! Ahh! So, it was great that the push press was on the main site, so it's like I did part of the CFDC workout.
OK...onto the press. I couldn't remember what my 1 rep max was. So, I just went as heavy as could. Granted, it wasn't that much.
Working Set:
45-50-55-60-65-70-75-80-85-90(f)-90-(f)
Sadness....failed at 90. Got home, and looked at my past 1 rep max, and it was like 90# back in April. So, major sadness. I think the fail from the first attempt got into my head. Or I am just weaker. I would really like to think it is the first of the two choices. Did the best I could today, and that's all I can ask for.
I hadn't planned on doing a cookie, but Matt and I were texting back and forth and he told me that I had to do this workout. So, I did. Time was slower than I would have liked. Didn't break things up too much, but I feel there was a lot of room for improvement. Abs are still wicked sore from Annie yesterday. I don't ever remember them being this sore. That just made the 21-15-9 worse. ugg...Time for my cookie was 6:50. I will attempt this again soon, and see if I improve!

Amy, you did your best, and I am proud of you for that! And way to go on the cookie! I should do that on Sunday--need to work on push-ups and pullups. Yay for sore abs!!! Mine are sore from the plank I did yesterday and the 100 GHD situps I did after today's WOD. Woooo!! I miss your counting for us, though. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie. I just hate that feeling that sometimes, your best isn't good enough. Oh well. You can't linger on it because it will just mess up you for the next day.
ReplyDelete100 GHD situps? Girl...you are crazy!
Oh, I need to figure out a good penalty for my friend Matt involving burpees....any ideas ladies?
