Ah, the downside of doing CrossFit at a globo, a corporate one nonetheless. ONE ROWER (at least it's a Concept 2) The 3 of us that do CF had great intentions of doing the 1/25/2010 WOD off the mainsite. Well, we met the intentions, but is was less than efficient.
After some warmup, I decided to do the 135lbs as RX'd and the other guys setup bars with their weights. We thought the thrusters would take a little longer, but, they didn't and we had a backup at the one lonely rower [maybe we can convince management to swap out some unused bikes for another rower].
I decided to stop my watch between rounds to capture total work time, and spent the 3 min or so spinning on a bike to keep my legs engaged. The 135lbs on the thruster was no problem at the pace we were moving at. So, we ended up with a solid rest, then blasting the 500m and going to thruster, then resting. In reality, it was OK for the first time through this one (none of us remember doing this one). It would have been murder if there was no rest, I can tell you that. Legs are taking the bulk of the load.
Anywho, I came in, as RX'd, with a work time of 16:31.
PS - I was in full on goofball mode today and attempted as many corny jump rope manuevers as possible, including running/jumping around the perimeter of the warm up room, and attempting to hop and jump in the same manner...and even some 'running man' jump ropes and some burpees up into a broad jump...hahaha, needless to say, I was pretty warmed up.
