CrossFit Day 71

Today’s workout was another punishing ass kicker. This one was going to require a lot of gumption and a lot of time. Well, no sense in wasting time. Let’s do it.

5 rounds for time:

  1. 50 sumo deadlift high pulls (35 pound kettlebell)
  2. 50 air squats
  3. 30 standing back extensions (35 pound dumbbell)

After each round, I decided two minutes of rest would keep me from passing out.

I had to subdivide all of the work, in various divisions from 10s to 25s. The squats took the longest in each round, including a 4 minute round of squats in which I was interrupted by my housemate (I forgot to turn off the beep alarm on my heart rate monitor). With the 2 minute rests between the round, I still needed more than 45 minutes to complete this bunch of work.

I was a little slow on the squats, because of Barbara-induced soreness. Otherwise, a lot of time was eaten up by me panting and catching my breath. Excellent workout.

My rounds:

  1. 06:26.82
  2. 09:53.59
  3. 10:18.91
  4. 10:05.40
  5. 09:04.88

My results: 45:45, 17:02 zone (hard); HR: 162 avg, 182 max; 613 cal
