PT Test Delta

Today’s workout was “CrossFit Total”. I don’t have a barbell, so I’m substituting the entire workout. Today, like last time, I’m doing the APFT. This will be the fourth in the series.

I started out on the track today, despite a temperature outside under 40°F, I bundled up and went out. Oz gave me a fancy new stopwatch before I skedaddled to visit family this weekend. I figured out the controls and noticed my iPod had run out of juice. So, after returning home, charging it up, and driving back to the track, I was ready. I stretched out, and started my run. The first lap mark messed me up, because I hit the buttons in the wrong sequence (and thus slowed up on lap 2). My goal was to finish the 2 mile run with a time faster than 16 minutes. I beat my previous time by 14 seconds. Not bad!

After I drove home and took a breather of about five minutes, I set my timer and started on the pushups. I was really hoping to break 50 today, but after missing three workouts last week (one for rain, one for laundry, and one for travel) and two this week (while visiting family), I’ll take that result. My situp session had me doing 54, which is one fewer than last time. It’s time to lock it back down and recover from the Christmas Slackoff.
