Needless to say but today’s crossfit workout was less than fun. But the best thing about it was when I finished it. There is an odd sense of accomplishment gained when you persevere through a grueling workout. I have to hand it to Kelly “The Machine” Frankson, she sure knows how to craft a mean-ass workout.
So to start, Kermit coached us through the below workout:
Warm-up:
Tabata Pushups (my score was 5!) Don’t ask me how that happened, I’m still trying to figure it out.
75% Max Dead-lifts for 5 sets of 5 reps:
I did 5 x 275lbs
The Workout – 5 rounds for time of the following:
75 m up-hill sprint
10 x 40lbs Dumbbells thrusters
15 x squats
50 m d0wn-hill run
My time on the workout was 9:50 (but to my defense, I ran up the hill for a 6th time before yelling “time!”… my legs were throbbing and my heart rate was about 185 BPM at the end, so you can imagine I was a bit out of it. It was a great 10 minute blast and definitely a workout I would recommend to my worst of enemies. Thank you, Machine! 
I made the board tonight!
Here’s a cool video describing running and training techniques.
