Wednesday, May 20, 2009 WOD:

5 Rounds for Time of:

10 Kettlebell Swings (Men/24kg & Women/16kg)
10 Thrusters (Men/95lbs & Women/65lbs)
Run 400 Meters

My Performance: 22:36, 63lbs

I made a personal goal to finish before 30 min. (and a "I wish I could finish before 25 min" goal) I'm so excited that I finished sub 25 mins, I can hardly contain it! I honestly had no clue that I could finish that fast. I was trying to mentally calculate how long it might take me. I know that 400's I normally run in 3-4 min, but gets considerably slower depending on the number of rounds, or what I have to do between runs. So, just the running put me at about 20 min--then, factoring in fatigue, thrusters, and 5 rounds instead of 3 put me at about 30 min. I felt really good this morning...meaning not tired or give-out before I started the WOD. I was comfortable with the weight. The only thing that put me down is this--I always forget that thrusters are SQUAT thrusters. Yes, another day of squats. BUT, I can handle 50 weighted vs. 250 air squats any day.

More good news! I've lost b/w 4-6 lbs (depending on water retention) since I've really started to eat better about 4 weeks ago! Remember that I'm gaining some muscle mass.
