Yesterday, I had an appointment to train at 6 PM. I left work at 5:20 and got to the box a little early, with enough time to do some mobility work and also practice my double unders. I wanted to be relaxed and in a good mood for whatever Shain and TJ had for me.
Right at 6:00, TJ said, "Rachel, I screwed up. Can you train with the class?" The WOD was Michael: 3 rounds of 800m run, 50 KB swings, and 50 sit-ups. I was like, absolutely not. (That's the Crossfit spirit, right?!) He said he could train me alongside the class, but I said I could just do skills.
I first decided to do a max effort 1K row. Not my favorite thing, but I've heard before that you should target your least favorite skills when you have time, and I did. I put my i-Pod on and blasted a little hip-hop, and lo and behold, pr'd by 5 seconds. I am thinking that music is my secret weapon for rowing and running. I need a good beat to zone out, and Metallica/Creed/Nickleback/blah is just not doing it for me.
WOD #62
Max Row 1000m
5:22
I then kind of wandered around. LOL. If I had been prepared, I would of done a WOD like 5 rounds for time, WB/situps or something to that effect. But I was kind of discombobulated and ended up doing 10 sets of 5 ring rows, some sit ups, some hand release pushups, and some more double unders. It wasn't a waste, but I defintely realized that I need a plan when I go to the gym!
I also went and hung out at Cassie/Kellie's last night, and Cassie told me to try double unders with her cable rope. SUCH A DIFFERENCE. I have to get one. I am scared to death for when I whip myself, but I got a DU on my second try, and that is so much faster than what crap I've done lately. The last two days have definitely made me feel better about where I am, and I am so grateful!
