Good news, after three weeks on the shelf due to a STUPID ankle sprain, I was back at it again to day….bad news, my conditioning felt like it was in the toilet!

I was so excited to be CrossFitting again, I did a pretty ambitious workout today. It started out with "Death by Burpees" which is when you start a stop watch and as it runs, perform one burpee the first minute, two the second minute..and so on, until you can no longer complete all the reps in the allotted minute…this was a lot harder than I thought it would be, and I failed to complete my ten reps in the tenth minute.

After a little recovery period, I started a running clock for my deadlift/pushup ladder. Deadlifts were performed with 225#.

DLx10/PUx1

9/2

8/3

7/4

6/5

5/6

4/7

3/8

2/9

1/10

26:23

It felt great to be back, and yes…Pukey the Clown showed up between my set of 3 deadlifts and 8 push-ups. Well, I’ll write again soon, stay tuned!

I wanted to post a little bit about my last couple of workouts for anyone who may be interested, but also to have a record to reflect on. My workout on Thursday was:

275# deadlift x5 reps

10 burpees

4 rounds for time

My time for this workout was 9:26. The last time I performed this workout about two and a half weeks prior, my time was 12 minutes flat. So I was pretty pleased with the time I posted, and hope to see further improvement the next time I do this workout!

Friday, my workout was

Bench Press 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

100 pushups for time

BP: 225-225-225-215-215-215-225

100 pushup: 8:50.

I was a little disappointed with the strength on the BP, but the pushup time was about a minute better than the last time I did this one.

My first CrossFit Total coming next week, wish me luck! I’ll let you know how it goes.
