CrossFit Day 200
Today, I reached another milestone—my 200th CrossFit workout of the day. Sadly, Day 100 was a little more than 11 months ago. Blowing off your workouts isn’t good. But, that’s in the past.
Let’s see what we’re up to today:
For time:
- 120 pullups
- 120 dips
In August, I did this one for the first time. Before that, when this was assigned, I’d reduce the number of pullups, or do jumping pullups, or something that made the 120 more bearable. In fact, my first complete workout with 100 pullups didn’t happen until July. My August time for today’s work was 29:17.08.
Today, I went out to the park, warmed up, grabbed that pullup bar and just aimed at half an hour. I knocked out the first three sets of 10 uninterrupted. After that, I’d do 8 and 2 or 7 and 3. After each 10, I’d smack the lap button on the stopwatch. The 100 pullup mark came at 11:35.12 (vs 16:55.16 in August). 13:45.73 for the 120 pullups. I ran over to the bench nearby and started knocking out the bench dips.
I guess a strict month pays off. My time didn’t end up being half an hour. I came in dramatically faster than last time. Here’s a personal best by more than 10 minutes.
120 pullups + 120 dips => 19:13.38 (personal best by 10:03.70).
I guess if you’re going to hit a mile mark, you might as well knock it down. Onward!
