Punched in the face...

Dang. Two pretty rough days of workouts. I am running without a full rest day for about 6 days straight and it's catching up. Yesterday and today's workouts were supposed to be for time, yesterday I pulled up short and did 5 rounds and not the RX'd 7 rounds. Today, no timer involved at all, and I knew going in it would be a longish one as quantities of pullups take me FOREVER.

Here's the rundown....

(from CrossFit Clevelend)

7 rounds for time:
9 - sumo deadlift high pull, 95lbs
7 - squat clean, 95lbs
5 - split jerk, 95lbs

I pulled the plug at 5 rounds with a time around 10:55. This thing kicked my butt, it looks manageable in print, but this is one bad mamajama...My buddy Rich finished a little behind me and did the 5 rounds also. Yes, we suck. Yes, we needed a large boot to the backside.

Yesterday, I told Rich, "tomorrow, I am not doing anything that raises my heart rate.." well, I wish that were the case. The warmup was a little slower than usual, and a little more relaxed before easing into this:

500m row, then
5 rounds:
15 pullups
15 KB swings (sub'd with pushups)
15 box jumps
500m

The only time I captured was the first 500m, which I pulled in 1:43. Pretty rockin' I must say, but that would be it as far as speediness goes. I got through 3 rounds. I was about to pull the plug on yet another WOD, I was even headed towards the rower for the final 500m...then the large boot found my backside and said, HUNKER DOWN AND GET IT DONE. So, I turned back around and did the final 2 rounds. It wasn't pretty, but I did it. NOTE: We don't have a pullup bar that I can kip on (I'd have to learn it first), so all pullups have to be pretty strict, with minor leg movement to help.

Tomorrow will be a grip training day, so in reality, a rest day.

I think I am running on ketones right now, need to up my fat intake I think. I am not really sure. Maybe it's an off paleo meal that I need! Well, there is a little SuperBowl pahrtay at my place on Sunday....
