Tuesday WOD

Yup- not any easier getting out of bed today. In fact I believe we almost slept in, but my proposal was "IF we sleep in, we aren't making up the WOD later in the day, we just aren't working out"... so eventually both of us got our sh*t together and got out to the garage!

We had no heat this AM so we did our WOD first and our Strength set second:

WOD: 

2 rounds

Row 500m

Rest 1min

Row 400m

Rest 1min

Row 250m

Rest 30sec

Row 200m

Rest 1 min

Strength: Dead Lifts (or as GiGi calls them "dead weight) 

3x3 of Dead Lifts

George 1 used up all the weights in our box for his final round of Dead Lifts- SHOUT OUT WOOHOO!!!

George 2 struggled with her final weight. Been experiencing some back soreness after the DL's and it's cause I'm not sitting back enough in my heels. When George 1 corrected me it made it A LOT harder to lift the weight (which was 20lbs lighter than the last time we did 3x3). I am sure I could have and as George 1 told me I could have lifted it more and that it was all mental, but it really FELT different. Who knows, but so interesting AND frustrating all at the same time!

Tomorrow's 13.2 Open Competition Workout will be posted!!!!

Monday WOD

Hello Daylight Savings Time- WOOF!

This first week I think it's appropriate to say it FEELS as though you are getting out of bed at 4:30am and technically we are if we hadn't turned our clocks forward. Trying to be adaptable but this week may be a little tough!

Monday's WOD

Strength: Back Squats

WOD: FRAN

21-15-9
Thrusters (65lbs/95lbs)
Pull Ups

George 1 hit a new record and lowered his previous FRAN score (which seems like it had to have been at least 6/8-12months ago) by 20/30 seconds! He finished around 5:15! GREAT performance!

George 2's performance wasn't as pretty. First time doing it Rx and finished with an 8:30. And somebody was NOT happy! Just wasn't mentally with it. Broke my first two rounds of thrusters and pull ups up at half way point. And then between rounds 2 and 3 legit had a mental breakdown, started crying and kept repeating "I don't want to do this anymore"- like I really thought quitting was an option? But I think I did.. I think I really thought if I got worked up enough "someone" would say it's OK stop or that my time would be so bad that I could justify it by the breakdown, which both were and are cop outs. Just suck it up and do it! The two positive things that came out of FRAN were that a- I did  do it Rx for the first time and b- I did my pull ups butterfly. I definitely could have done each of the butterfly sets unbroken but mentally needed to focus and just wasn't.

But by 8am I felt great and motivated to start the day so at least it didn't stay with me!
