Did my first CrossFit workout last night in about a week. Whenever I take that much of a break (although this one was forced, not my choice) I also complain about how hard it is to come back. And last night was a doozie.
WOD was as follow:
5 rounds
7 deadlifts (rx for women at 155, I did 125)
7 burpees (hisssssssssssssssssssss)
15 DB push press (rx for women 25lb DBs, which I did)
15 Butterfly situps (soles of feet together, so your knees are pointing horizontally)
Looks easy on paper, right? Wrong. Its sad when the DL's and the situps become your rest and you're actually looking forward to getting to them. I have a horribly weak upper body, so burpees and push presses are basically my arch nemesis. This was also the longest workout I've done, where I used the 25 lb dumbells the WHOLE TIME. So...woot for me on that. But, it took me 17:31 to finish it. Most people were on the board between 10-14 minutes. I was also left with some lovely bruises on my shoulders and wrists from getting knocked by those dumbells.
Ouch. Can't wait to go back on Friday. And I seriously mean that.
