Shain Is Always Right, I Rarely Am

So Friday night I had a great workout. I have a lot to say about it, but my computer at home is not working and I'm sneaking this in at work before I forget about it.

WOD #9 (Shain)

Round 1: 3:39, Round 2: 3:23 Round 3: 2:46 (rest exactly one minute between rounds)

Each round had:
Run 200m
12 Box Jumps (6 in, try to jump consecutively, really hard for me, 1) I'm always tired and 2) I'm petrified of falling on my face)
6 Power cleans (43 lb)

Shain wouldn't let me know how many rounds the WOD would have until halfway through. During the minute rest before round 3, he said, If you can beat your time for round 2, we can make this your last round. If not, you have to do 5.

This is the funniest part: Round 3 sucked, or so I thought. I ended up walking on part of the run, because I was DEAD. I was like, DAMMIT! I can't do more rounds! As soon as I finished, I threw myself on the ground, and I was like, SHAIN! How bad did I do? He said, "Well, you tried really hard, but you only--". At that point, upon hearing "only", I was so sad, and started trying to get back up. Not an easy task. "--beat your time by like 30 seconds or so". He grinned and so did I.

Shain says he can't believe how hard I push when I think my WOD is almost over. I never believed him until this time...I guess I really do better when I see the light at the end of the tunnel! I did run the warm-up all by myself without stopping. I didn't workout at all this weekend, but I'm okay with that and ready for a great week. Cassie the Evil/Wonder Teacher has her work cut out with me! :)

  2. Yeah, I have no idea how they do it. If I could just relax and trust the process I'd be much better off! Muah.
