CrossFit Open 2017 Finished – RXed Every Work Out!
The days are rolling into one another. I can’t believe the 18th is almost over, and that 12 hours ago, I did my workout for the day. Seems like this morning was a lifetime ago. Not sure what brought this mood on?
Been thinking.. I have this amazing friend who’s literally on the other side of the world, who I have a very small window twice a day to talk to. She’s 14 hours ahead of me, so right now it’s 1p and she’s well into her Sunday. I don’t make it a point to talk to her each day, but usually, via some form of social media, whether it’s her blog, FB or instagram now, it seems we communicate almost daily. So.. I was thinking earlier, how is it that someone I’ve never met in person, or ‘known’ for very long, can understand me so well? And vice versa. When she posts things, I’m like.. YEAH I get that too! OR, I just feel this beaming sense of pride for her and her accomplishments. Like, when she hits a milestone, I feel proud and excited for her (whereas so many other people in our lives are like, yeah whatever, big deal, now will you STFU about crossfit..?) I love that I feel that way for her accomplishments without even thinking about it. It royally bums me out that someone I think would be so much fun, and so motivating, and so great to work out with IRL is a world away. I am so grateful to have her in my life, and by complete chance on the internet, no less, (like a pin on Pinterest or something led me to her blog) but the chances to hang out, or meet, or spend time together, will be so few and far between during the rest of our lifetimes.
Kinda sad about that.
Anyway, moving along:
Our Saturday WOD.. usually a buddy WOD, and Russell didn’t disappoint today.
My partner was a girl who I hadn’t met before, and she was great! Lisa and I teamed up and did the best we could.
So, for 30 seconds you do one of the two exercises, and your partner does the other, and then switch.
4 min of
wall ball sit ups (HARD. Tailbone was not happy with these..)
sandbag cleans
1 min rest
4 min of
holding chin over pull up bar
burpees (this was the only time ever that I preferred to do burpees over something else..)
1 min rest
4 min of
firehose slams
dips on the parallel bars
