Double Yuck!

WOD: 10K Run

Normally I love it when the runs show up for the WOD (and last night I went to bed excited about it) BUT I woke up so sore today from yesterday's WO that I was dreading this run. I didn't have it in me to try for a pr, and I was secretly hoping Saedi would cry the whole time so someone would come get me. But no one came & I felt like a trapped gerbil spinning on my wheel in the stuffy YMCA. My 10K attempt: 1st mile plus some change on the elliptical at about a 10 min pace and then last 5 miles on treadmill (b/c one finally became available) at a 9 min pace...which was a struggle for me. My quads and hamstrings were so tight & my legs felt like dead weight. It was the toughest run in a while b/c I didn't have the energy to push myself (and honestly the 9 min pace felt like I was pushing it), and I blame it on those dang thrusters!!! I don't know what I hope tomorrow's wo is, b/c my entire body is sore today.

Yuck!


For time:
10 GHD Sit-ups
10 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 30 reps
50 Pull-ups

30 GHD Sit-ups
30 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 20 reps
35 Pull-ups

50 GHD Sit-ups
50 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 10 reps
20 Pull-ups

As Rx'd for females with 65#: 36 something was my time. I tried not to rush but took it slow and steady. Honestly, though, I don't know if I could have given it more. My muscles were giving out on me. The thrusters were killer for me. By the last set I could hardly squat. Yeah, I would agree with Dymphna that this was a pretty nauseating WO.

Overhead Squat

WOD: Overhead squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps
I've been waiting for this workout...not because I LIKE this lift but b/c the OHS is my best lift and I like all the cnouragement and complements I get regarding this lift. Yeah, I'm not modest. I really wanted a new pr today...which I got (after several failed attempts)
x3: 55,65,75,85,90
x1: 95,100(pr)

Also did CFE on C2:
Goal is to use maximum effort for 2 min interval.
120:60 x 6
or 2 min on 1 minute off x 6

Power Cleans

For time:
155 pound Power clean 15 reps
30 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 12 reps
24 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 9 reps
18 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 6 reps
12 Ring dips
155 pound Power clean 3 reps

15:07 was my time using 75# for cleans & then ring holds instead of ring dips. I think the "dips" were the hardest part for me. I think I'm going to make it a goal to get one ring dip.
