First burner was called "Annie" which consisted of double unders and sit ups... complete 50,50-40,40-30,30-20,20-10,10 fot time... this time my double unders were pretty on point and much more controlled than in the past...first 50 I was able to get 38, then 12..the 40 I broke down into 30 then 10, the 30, 20, & 10 I did all unbroken. I was able to complete this workout in 6:28. It feels great to be able to complete the workout in a good time and having done it without any scaling of double unders... what should my next double under challenge be??
Second lil burner was 21-15-9 box jumps (20in), sumo deadlift high pulls aka SDHP, and push press...this was a challenging workout for me because my arms were does from all the pull ups over the weekend and the push presses in this workout didn't help the situation. Haha. But I was able to complete it in 6:22.
I think it's funny how I remember when I first walked into Crossfit a year and 4 months ago and all the short hand on the board (SDHP, DL, PU, BJ, OH squats, THRUSTERS,HANG PC, etc.. to name a few) seemed like it was a foreign language I would have to learn and be able to speak if I wanted to succeed as a Crossfitter... I look back now after having gone pretty much everyday unless I have been out of town and I don't think twice about the coded lingo I see on the workout posts. Haha. Sometimes I have small moments like today getting all the double unders where I am amazed and excited about how far I have come physically and mentally in such a short amount of time... I remember being so frustrated about not being able to get them, so I would practice everyday and I know that the practice has indeed paid off double time. I am becoming the athlete I was meant to be. Never underestimate yourself and the power of your capabilities. We truly can reach amazing heights when we dedicate ourselves... just remember to breathe & dig deep...
