Not my SMARTEST performance

Well that was dumb of me...

I just back from the gym. The WOD the other day that I skipped, probably the night I drank beer instead ;-) was "Coe"- a hero workout. Here's the snippet from CrossFit's website-

Coe's workout calls for 10 rounds of 10 reps 65# thrusters (for women) and 10 reps of ring dip push-ups. I can't do ring dip ups so I knew I was going to scale it. Apparently I got confused on how to scale it though b/c I ended up doing a workout that wasn't even one of the scales-

7 rounds:
10 65# thrusters
10 push-ups on a swiss ball

Techically I was only supposed to do 40# thrusters but I forgot about that part and did the prescribed weight instead. Oops :)

My time was 18:09 which isn't great but it was hard. Those thrusters killed my wrists.

After that I did 7 reps of strict pull-ups. I still kip just slightly but they're getting easier. Michael coached me today to make sure I exhale on the way up; I was holding my breath. I didn't even realize I was doing it and as soon as I breathed, they were easier. I even did the last rep with a 2 1/2 # weight between my legs. I kipped on that one though but I've never been able to do a pull-up with added weight before so I'm pretty stoked about that.

Until tomorrow,
