CrossFit Day 36

Today’s workout is pretty easy, but calls for a high level of performance and a large amount of rest between intense exercise periods. Are you ready? Let’s dance.

Four rounds for time of:

  1. 400 m run
  2. 2 min rest

Wow. That’s it? Let’s go!

I was utterly astonished when I came bounding up my driveway that my watch said I’d done the first 400 meters in 97 seconds. Whew. Fast.

400 m run times:

  1. 1:37
  2. 1:37
  3. 1:38
  4. 1:40

That’s a 6:32 mile! Well, there were two minute rest periods between each run. But, still. Yay, fast!

I finished my last 400 meter run showing 12:32 on the timer, but since the workout called for four rounds that each included two minutes of rest, I drank water, stopped wheezing, and let my heart rate drop from the “oh shit” beeps to “stop lounging” beeps. Good workout. Nice and short, but with gasping heavy breathing.

No idea, though, why about 50 meters of my running route smells like RV toilet chemicals, though. Nary an RV to be found in West Sunnyvale this evening. Weird.

My results: 14:32, 2:32 zone (hard); HR: 158 avg, 189 max; 199 cal
