....the one where i played "catch-up"....
OK-here's an update of my week.... :) MONDAY-(ok-we did TWO wods today..killer!!) wod A: 3 rounds for time 15 deadlifts (#63) 15 goblet squats (#26) then exactly 10 minutes after starting this wod you do wod B: 21-15-9 kb swings (#26) burpees Unfortunately I can't remember my times but I did really good!! But as for how I felt on Tues....well let's just say I could barely walk. The goblet squats did something and the inside of my thighs are still sore! So here is WEDNESDAY wod: 21-15-9 deadlifts (#63) situps run 400M after each round My time was around 19 minutes....not too shabby!! The actual wod everyone else did had push press and pull-ups, but I trying to avoid straining my shoulder so I am not doing those exercises for like a week. I got physical therapy on Monday and it actually feels a lot better. :) And you know firsthand about THURSDAY wod because you did it yesterday! LOL! There are tons of people at my box who are competing in the open games so it is pretty exciting and motivating to watch them do the wods. There was so much energy and excitement there today because there was four athletes doing the open wod while I was doing it right along with them! Next year I totally want to compete in the open so that means I will have to start doing the wods as rx'd. Let's all do it together k!! Andy would totally RULE over the men's division! I had to scale my wod:AMRAP 15 minutes 9 deadlifts (#63) 12 pushups (i can only do them on my knees still....I am so proud of you for doing them strict! You are so amazing!) 15 box jumps (12in for me....the 20 inch box is still very intimidating for me!) So anyways I got 5 rounds and 7 dealifts total (scaled of course), but it felt great because I have really been working on mentally pushing through and trying not to take too many breaks. I try to break up each individual round....for example, in my head I will divide the box jumps into 3 sets of 5 and will only stop if I reach the end of each "set". For some reason it makes it easier in my mind to divide up wods and just chip away one by one. So, I signed up for the Beach Body contest that they are doing at our box and it starts on Monday. Check out the new blog website and read all about it! The new blog is really nice too! www.wasatchcrossfit.us Anyways, the top cash prize will be over $1000 and the 2nd place is 3 months paid membership! WOWZA! I am really gonna try and see if paleo makes a difference in my performance at crossfit. I know, it's gonna suck but hopefully in a good way....lol!! LUV YA BABE! p.s.-Look at the post for what our wod is tomorrow....10,000 burpees for time!! And then a 10K....hahaha! LOL!! April Fool's Day fun! :)

ReplyDeletehey, so here i go a second time...hope it works out!
ReplyDeleteso your recent wods look very hard! you are amazing for pushing through them! i do the same thing you do with breaking up the wod in my mind to make it seem easier...it totally works and helps me...that's cool that you do the same thing! andy almost did the open this year! but we realized that they might do a wod we can't do since we don't have a box here and we dont' have all the traditional crossfit equipment...stinks, cuz i know he'd do well! the beachbody contest sounds great! i will try to do a version of that too! so you're going to go for the paleo huh?...good luck girl! i know you can do it! it will suck at first, but after a few weeks, your body will adjust and get used to it...it takes 21 days to make or break a habit right?...so make a goal to last 21 days at least and then re-evaluate from there! maybe by then it will seem more realistic to continue....like your wods, break it up so it doesn't seem so hard! don't you get a cheat with paleo?....you're awsesome Liesl! i love and miss you! it was great to see your post! keep on keeping on! if it helps, post your daily paleo efforts!
