63 Burpees???

Tonight's WOD was killer!  I never thought I would see the end!  It was 3 rounds of 21 medicine wall balls, 21 knee to chest pull ups for me and 21 box jump burpees!  UGH!!!

I went in tonight determined to work on something before the WOD began.  I scoped out what all was being done and when everyone was done I got up and got what I needed.  Got the bands for the squats and got a box and a medicine ball and stayed determined.  The coach was helpful as he got my bands set up for me and gave me some coaching.  He even let me do the squats for my warm up while he did the warm up with the other folks.  I have to admit it was nice to be able to just focus and concentrate on my own.  What I don't understand is why I can do the squats for a bit and then my leg just stiffens up.  I went back and forth with the box and the medicine ball.  I never got my butt to the medicine ball but I sure tried.  If I get a chance tomorrow I'm going to try again and keep trying until I master these evil squats. 

Then it was time for the WOD...

I thought I was stretched out enough for the wall balls.  I kept trying and I think I got lower than usual probably half the time.  That last round was killer.  I was so tired. 

The knee to chest pull ups are hard and work everything in my body but they were the easiest of everything.  That doesn't mean they were easy though.  I did get up to 15 at one time without stopping eventually and that made me feel good. 

Now, those box jump burpees were just plain straight out murder!  I never got my confidence up and did a box jump (in my case I use a 45lb. weight).  I do better when I can do several at one time and can build my confidence up.  I wanted to ask if I could break it up into 3's but decided against it.  Those burpees just about killed me.  Doing a burpee and then a box jump and back to a burpee and another box jump and doing that 21 times kicks your butt!  And then to do it 3 times in a round.  I was determined to finish and I did. 

I feel good about it all but I am most proud of the fact that I took control and started on those squats on my own and was able to get some practice in.  I will master them.  Hopefully, like one of the guys tells me I'm going to walk in one day and just be able to do it.  I want that day to be now but until then I'm just going to keep practicing.  I haven't forgotten about the heights but it's one thing at a time.  I'll get there!
