CrossFit Open 2017 Finished – RXed Every Work Out!
I have a love/hate relationship with rope climbs. I can do them, but they wear me down. They make me cry. They hurt. I struggle through them and I lose control of my grip (or so I think) and it hurts and burns my feet where I clutch the rope so desperately. I get burn marks around my calf and the inside of my thigh, again, from clinging to it with fear.
So.. I do them. But I hate them. I wish I was better at them, and guess what.. the only way to get better at them is to do more of them. So I suffer on.
Anyway, this WOD was awful. Not quite a cry-er, but I was almost there.
I was excited for a 22 min time cap, but I only had 2 rope climbs left when time was called, and Derek made me finish. I finished only on the condition that I wouldn’t get a DNF next to my name. Deal. I finished in 23:21.
WOD: For Time
21-S20H (135/95)
21 – CHIN UPS (STRICT)
3 – ROPE CLIMBS
15 – S20H
15 – CHIN UPS
3 – ROPE CLIMBS
9 – S20H
9 – CHIN UPS
3 – ROPE CLIMBS
I RXed the weight. I did banded chin ups and wrecked my biceps for the next few days (tiny case of rhabdo? Possibly. Oh well, I did it to myself.)
I called it a week and made that my last WOD, especially with the move we had coming up in the next few days.
