Again...since I started doing main page I've been worried about a workout coming up and me not getting a PR...today was no different.

Tabata Something Else

Pullups - 14,11,8,8,8,8,8,8 - 73
Pushups - 20,12,10,8,8,8,8,8 - 82
Situps - 13,11,10,10,10,10,10,10 - 84
Squats - 20,18,16,16,16,16,16,19 - 137

Total - 366. PR by over 30 reps. Pushups are becoming the hardest part of this which wasnn't the case a year ago.

10 Days til regionals!!

Did that crazy pull-up workout from the mainsite. I was trying to figure out how to scale it and erred on the side of doing 10 rounds with all 3 components rather than 1 or 2 rounds rx'd on not doing any weighted pullups but doing 150.

Here's what I did.

10 rounds for time:

2 weighted pullups 25#/15#
3 deadhang pullups
7 kipping

Stayed on the bar for every round.

Used 25 for the 1st 5 rounds and 15 for the 2nd 5.

(Grip went away quicker than anything else on this one)

My time:
29:14

P.S. I find that I wiggle a little on the deadhang and weighted pullups. That's probably a tiny 'kip' that I need to get rid of.

also..I like the word 'jettison' and look forward to the next time that I can 'jettison' something. :-)

'Grace'

3:03

I'm okay with this...My last 'Grace' was 3:12 but only did 29 reps. Did the full 30 this time..

The posted the Midwest Regional WOD's this morning...holy mackeral!! I'm givin' it a go but that is going to be HEA-VY!!

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

[B]05/14/09[/B]

4 rounds for time

800M run Rest as needed in between. I rested for roughly 5 mins between runs.

1. 3:34 - Accidentally went way too far...brain fart.
2. 3:11
3. 3:15 - Strong headwind on the way back..
4. 3:23 - Another headwind on the return.

Not sure what my mile time would be...or if I went 100% for 1 shot with the 800m...I would guess sub 3?? Not sure.

This was my last workout before the regionals wish me luck.

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle

Whew!! I'm back...exceeded my own expectations for this year. Next years goal?? Make it to Sunday!!

WOD #1
21-15-9 reps
275# Deadlift
Chest to bar pull-ups

14:30. I was so scared of this one...My one rep max deadlift is about 330. I did the last 9 reps using nothing but a rounded back and will power.

Just in under the time limit though...

WOD #2
5 Rounds for time of
7 Double kettlebell thrusters 24KG
11 Burpees


8:50

Made up a little time on the field here...

WOD #3
2000 M Row

7:44

Deadlift - weakness
Row - weakness

I couldn't be happier with the outcome though and I had a blast. it was well run and the poeple were great. I didn't meet a person I didn't like...

Re: JD's CrossFit Chronicle
 

hi jason!!

i was thinking bout how you went in the midwest just now!!

glad that you posted!!!

congrats on exceeding your expectations!!

and a 7:44 2k row is nothing to scoff at... remember a 7 minute 2k row is considered to be at top level!! you're not that far off!!!!
