what just happened?

i got my ass kicked today, and it ruined my whole afternoon, very unproductive afterwards. i did a workout( first cf workout in a week mind you) that i had given my crossfitters last monday, and of course altered it for the weather. i've been getting stronger so i thought what the hell, lets see what i can do. my mind doesn't really have a caution flag, kristen can tell you that, so what ensued was an ass-kicking. the workout was:

for time:
40 thrusters, i did them at 95#, I weigh 150 soaking wet
followed immediately by a 400m row.
took me 4:58 a good time i guess.

after thoughts:
i laid on the floor for about 10 minutes unable to breathe normally, sat up to stretch, almost puked. got water and stretched and drove home. i haven't ever driven drunk but if i did i think how i felt today would be what it feels like. i had to focus all my energy on driving because i was tired, nauseated, and couldn't see very well.
when i got into the garage i almost puked again. i walked to my apt. grabbed a blanket and fell asleep in the fetal postition with my dog next to me on the entryway floor for about 45minutes. the nap was not planned by the way i just couldn't do anything else.i just got up, still feeling horrible- headache, nausea, weak. apparently i could have used a little more food today that is my only idea of why that was so hard, oh and the fact that i haven't worked out in 8 days, that might do it too. now i know why everyone left dazed and confused on monday. now its time for some very non-paleo yogurt.

max effort

maxed out on the deadlift, squat and shoulder press today, not ahppy with squat becasue i had to keep it lighter since i was working out alone. i think i have 20 more pounds in me but i need someone to spot me. deadlifts are getting better so thats great. press makes me feel like a total weakling becasue you just get stuck with the bar barely above your head and can't move.

deadlift-295
squat- 205
press-115

met con-
4 rounds of:
20 double unders
10 ring dips
20 squats
10 sit-ups

run

ran today because i've started to have running withdrawl. it felt great to put my running shoes on and a skimpy pair of shorts and go pund out some miles. my cadence and form has fallen off some since the time off so i had to focus on all the elements. the weather was great, about 65 degrees with a breeze, so perfect for going shirtless, whoop. surprisingly i was comfortable running fast. i guess all the other workouts have kept me somehwat in shape, which is the goal of course. knee flared up a little bit towards the end but then again when does it not? good run overall

3 miles
roughly 23 minutes

double duty

today i worked on my squats becasue my quad strength is still lacking.

back squat
3-3-3-3-3
185#

then rowed:
2k for time
7:26

my quads were absolutley gone. first time i thought i wasn;t going to finish a row. i was only 4 seconds off my last 2k for time and i haven't been rowing at all the past few weeks so i guess its ok. i almost puked becasue my quads hurt so bad/ were so tired. then as a bonus i had to workout with the on-ramp class because there was one person without a partner. so igot to row again... and i didnt feel much better

3 rounds of
200m
10 thrusters

kept my avg under 1:30 per 500m which is great, but my legs got lit up again, both on thrusters and the row. felt like puking again because i went all out. fun fun

work rest work rest

made up this wod a few days ago. crossfit is doing it so i tired it out.
3 rounds of
5 power clean and press
10 knees to elbows

2 min rest

3 rds of
15 push-ups
20 double unders

2 min rest

2 rounds of
5 power clean and press
10 knees to elbows

1 min rest

2 rounds of
15 push-ups
20 double unders

12:29, 95#pc&p

turns out it was tough, but different than most. if you don't push, it won;t hurt. i pushed hard and it sucked. i was able to link all the double unders together so that help alot with the time . girp strength went out from the clean and press so the knees to elbows were hard just in holding on to the bar. i think they'll like it.

client tribute

did a workout from crossfit central's workout that was named for a client of theirs. it was rough both mentally and physically. i'm glad i got to do a good snatch workout though because i've really been working on that movement.

every minute on the minute for 10 minutes
8 ring dips
6 power snatches (95#)

finished each round with roughly 4 seconds of rest consistently. hard to keep control of the barbell when dropping it from overhead to get ready for the next snatch, mentally challenging pushing on with 4 seconds of rest. dropped to 85# after 5 rounds due to loss in snatch form. better to scale than to get injured.
