CrossFit Day 40
Today’s workout was a real nightmare. It required a plethora of sumo deadlift high pulls and a double plethora of rope jumps (single unders for me). Unfortunately for my planned distance hike slow burn today, it started raining about the time I was finishing lunch.
A little rain is not going to stop me from going for it, though. So, we might as well suit up, grab the kettlebell and the rope, and go for broke.
Today’s work:
- 100 sumo deadlift high pulls (35# kettlebell)
- 50 rope jumps
- 75 sumo deadlift high pulls (35# kettlebell)
- 100 rope jumps
- 50 sumo deadlift high pulls (35# kettlebell)
- 200 rope jumps
The assigned workout called for rowing and double unders, but I don’t have a rower and can’t do double unders, so I doubled the rope number and did a high pull for every 10 meters assigned on the rower. On this workout, I ended up doing an extra set of 50 rope jumps in round 2, because I noticed that every time I’d jump my heart rate monitor would lose my heartbeat. For a while, I tried to adjust the strap. I wet the sensors, I tightened it up, I loosened it, but it read sporadically for several minutes. I’m sure that chopped a bunch of calories off my final results.
It was raining outside, but I have a kayaking jacket, so I stayed mostly dry for a while. When I relax over the rope, I can do 50 or 60 jumps in a row, but when I get pissed and kick myself in the ass, I can do 2. Easy does it, slick.
What a great workout. Hopefully, next time I do this, all of my calories get counted.
My results: 36:29, 10:15 zone (hard); HR: 157 avg, 188 max; 416 cal
