Crossfit Day 420 – 1RM Sumo DL – 9/12/14

Strength: Find a 1RM Sumo Deadlift

WOD: 5 Rounds for Time

8 – C2B
10 – Over/Unders (24/20″)
12 – Air Squats

I maxed out at 265 for my SDL, which was great. I didn’t want to go any further than that. It’s such an awkward pull anyway. Not for me. The WOD looked okay.. LOOKED okay. Then I got to the over-unders. I asked if I could do over-overs. Nope. I’m sure this jumping did NOT help the foot situation, but of course, it didn’t hurt while I was doing it, so.. CARRY ON!

Over Unders suck. You have to jump 20″ over a PVC pipe, and then drop to the floor and roll under it. I did not like those.  I didn’t like the awkwardness of throwing myself down on the floor and rolling around. Stupid.

I stopped at 4 rounds, completely unashamed. Usually there is some guilt involved but I was done with this WOD before it even started.

I love my gym, but man.. I must be going through a CrossFit rut right now, because I just haven’t been motivated to go, and when I DO go, I’m like ehhhhh.. let’s get this over with. I don’t know if it’s just another phase, I’m sure it is. I really need to get back to yoga, because I want to be doing SOMETHING, but I haven’t been too particularly excited about the teachers who will be teaching at the times that I can make it.

I am owning up to lacking the motivation, and I know that only forcing myself to go, whether it’s to CF or yoga, can get me back into the groove of going.
