Crossfit WOD

AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

• Squat Clean Thruster (CLUSTERS) 135#/85# - 20 reps
• CLUSTERS 165#/105# - 15 reps
• CLUSTERS 185#/125# - as many as you can until the time ends

Core - 4 max effort L-Holds

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20 reps @ 63# + 15 reps @ 83# + 9 reps @ 93# = 44 reps total

L-hold: 25, 15, 20, 18 seconds.

Starting at 85# and ending at 125#?!  Maybe, one day.  I didn't sleep much at all last night, so was proud of my CLUSTER performance.  It was heavy, but I got that bar over my head and (whew!) didn't drop it on my myself.  

It was good to be back working out around my pals!

Crossfit WOD (on the road)

Crossfit Reston has this handy sheet of WODs for those people who want to keep up some Crossfit-like workouts on the road.  As I hardly ever travel, I only look at it when I can't get out of my house to the "box."  (Still seems strange not calling it a gym.)  But I'm at the beach for the week, and I'm not sure if the Crossfit at the Outerbanks is worth the drive.  Rather than take the time away from my family, I looked at the 35 WODs and chose this one for today:

Perform rounds of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2- and then 1 reps of:

• Burpees
• Squats
• Hand release push-ups

The countdown workouts always seem easy until you get to 7 and realize how far you have to go...!

Did it in 7:31.

I did this on the beach, while my kids were in the "foamy" state--in between awake and asleep--and other families were still out on the beach, fishing or walking their dogs or just hanging out.  I did it on a towel but that didn't keep the sand from getting all over my stomach and legs and hands and even my hair.  Not sure how that happened, but I'll probably be washing it out for a few days...
