Owe…that hurt.

So last night I missed CrossFit to get some rest and sleep. When looking at the site, I was kind of bummed, because I thought the WOD looked really fun. So tonight, I jubilantly strolled into the box and asked Boomsauce if I could do the WOD from yesterday. Sure he said. Then Nurseboy and Jimmy Slice immediately said, don’t do it. I was like huh? To put it bluntly, they said it will f*ck you up. Eh, I shrugged it off, determined to crush it. All through warm up I kept getting warnings. I looked at the board and noticed times in the 17 minute to 20 minute range. Hmmmmmm…everyone have an off day except Nurseboy and Boomsauce, I thought to myself. Whatever…I’m gonna kill it. So what is this WOD you may ask.

4 rounds for time of:
12 Power Cleans @95
12 Box Jumps
12 Thrusters @95
12 Pull Ups

Pffft…I know right. Easy peasy. How wrong I was. So to cut to the short of it, I finished in 17 minutes at RX. Good enough for 3rd place on the WOD podium, but this WOD hurt. Like hurt more than my first day. I felt good through the first round. I even heeded Nurseboys warning of not going out too hard. I paced myself. Round 1 done in 2:15. I took a 15 second break to swing some aqua, catch my breath and setup for Round two. Honestly, during round 2 is when the feces hit the oscillating blades. Power cleans were tough. Box jumps not so bad…thrusters just plain sucked and pull ups were on a level of just plain fail. I think I made it through round two with a total time of 6 minutes. Yeah, that’s right, the next two rounds took 11 minutes and it was a mental battle of survival. I never felt such a great relief as when i fell to the floor after that last pull up. I did the dead cockroach on the floor for a few minutes and then peeled myself up and over to the bench.

Lesson of the night…never underestimate a WOD. This one was a sleeper and it was deadly. Resting up tonight after my training class at the ambulance garage and I’ll be back at CrossFit tomorrow.
