CrossFit Day 21

Today’s workout was a nice respite from the recent killers, such as Murph, Mary, and J. T. especially. So, about 9:30, I threw my kettlebell into the trunk of my car and drove over to the pullup bar. I was going to walk over there and carry the kettlebell on foot, but it was getting late and I realized that carrying it home after the full workout was going to suck more that I could anticipate.

Here we go. Three rounds for time of:

  1. 400 m run
  2. 21 kettlebell swings (16 kg)
  3. 12 jumping pullups

Fortunately, I got off to a good start and it was much warmer than I thought it was. My runs ended up about 425 meters a pop and I was able to each split in about 2 minutes. Kettlebell swings were the easiest thing until I started to get tired. The pullups had me working in sets of three until I knocked them all down. Maybe I should have done this one twice, just to trim a little bit more chub off the old midsection. I was much slower than I thought I’d be, primarily due to the pullups. We have to start somewhere.

My results: 19:44 (4:14 in hard zone); HR: 169 avg, 187 max; 310 cal (20%)
