9:01, was slow in performing dead lifts. it felt good to finally get back to Crossfit after taking a few days off to rest before the APFT.
-on a side note i feel that the past 3 months of doing Crossfit helped me to set personal records on all events on the APFT. The muscular/cardio endurance that Crossfit trains works hand in hand with the APFT events.

11:04...good suck this morning only scaled clean to 115. Ring dips were rough and I need to keep working them, but stoked either way.

MAJ Blackmon--thanks for the talk this morning and advice. MAJ Wylie and someone else (Sorry, I didn't catch your name)--thanks for the encouragement and kick in the pants to keep the intensity up. Thanks to everyone for the motivation this morning.

On-on

8:41--I'm was really sucking this morning. Probably needed to push a little harder through the power cleans and dead lifts.

On a side note...Saint Barbara's Day ball is tonight. I will be there. Tomorrow's workout is going to be brutal. For those who partake in the festivities tonight (which I will), I still fully expect to see you in the morning as well. Don't make me shame anyone.

8:25. Worked some muscle ups for my goat this morning. Also, I tried a recommendation from a couple of days ago that instead of resting between exercises, you finish one and immediately start the next, even if you can only do a few reps. I know it's all mental, but it does seem to help.

Felt good getting back into it. I need to make sure I dont sacrifice form for speed.

To add to petera's (aka Peter) comment. I too set personal bests on the sit ups and run. The 2 mile run is a 12-13 minute event. Perfect for muscular and cardio strength/endurance. I would attribute my success to fighting through the suck every morning at crossfit.

Subbed Sumo Dead Lift High Pulls @95lbs for PC's because my wrist is really bothering me.

Anyways, my time was 6:45...I can actually do Knees to elbows now, and I was really happy with my DL form.

I am making up yesterday's workout tonight...

6:59 as rx'ed. Great to be back.

I agree with petera and dana on what they said concerning CF and the APFT. I felt better than ever and scored really well. I definitely attribute the improvement to these workouts.

14:40 scaled DL to 205 and PCs to 95.
Good WOD!

NM said...

Hate I missed the morning crew but rolled with our Sandhurst Team on an equipment run up to Stony instead. Looks like it was a good one...

See you guys tomorrow for CF Friday.

15 minutes(ish), did the WOD with someone new to crossfit so we had to do a lot of weight changing etc. Great workout though.

I did really well on PU/SU yesterday and i have done very little "APFT" workouts so i was pretty impressed with that. I gained about 30 seconds on my run though, so I think i'm going to add a few more longer runs.

45 minute trail run today. I need to run more often... the hills got the legs burning up!
