I had been looking forward to this all week and definitely took my rest yesterday with the intention of going hard at this sumbitch. My previous time with this WOD I remember distinctly not feeling well during the burpees.. and not like "crossfit sick".. like "actually flu-ish and sick".. So I was pretty sure I could beat my time and had sub-20 minutes in the back of my head.
My plan going in was to do all the box jumps with a rebound as best as possible, the jumping PUs, KB Swings, Lunges, Back Extensions and Double Unders as unbroken as possible.. and the rest I would try to break up with some smart scheme when I got there and gauged my fatigue.
“Filthy Fifty”
For time:
50 Box Jumps 24"
50 Jumping Pull-ups
50 KB Swings (1 pood)
50 Walking Lunge Steps
50 K2E
50 Push Press 45
50 Back Extensions 45
50 Wall Balls (20)
50 Burpees
50 Double Unders
Time: 20:25 Rx'd
I went mostly to plan with the wheels coming off in a few places.. I was proud of myself for gritting out the KB swings and Back extension mentally all in a row.. I could definitely have broken down and rested if I didn't stay focused.. The two major time wasters were the K2E and the Burpees.. I need to like re-learn kipping K2E, I could not for the life of me get them happening today.. Maxed out with like 6 at a time.. Yuck..
I arrived at the burpees with about 17 minutes ish on the clock and I just tried to tell myself I could beat 20 if my DUs were working today.. Did not happen.. The last 10 burpees or so I felt lunch making a comeback and just couldn't finish as strong as I wanted..
Still a great WOD, every part of you hurts after this one.. I think I can get sub-20 next time if I do a better job on the K2E.. everything else I think I went about as hard as my body would allow given the exhaustion.
FOOD
5 AM - Apple, Larabar, Coffee with coconut milk
9 AM - Bacon and eggs
NOON- Salad with chicken sausage and avocado, very original, I know.
5 PM - Coconut water smoothie with whey, banana and some coconut butter..
7PM - Dinner at Grafton St... I got a crab cake and a pan roasted chicken dish with spinach, almonds and golden raisins.. But the dish came with some Polenta which is corn based and therefore not Paleo, but was quite delicious..
