I suffered through the WOD today! I was dreading it and looking forward to it all at the same time! But that warm up kicked my butt. I didn't comprehend a damn thing he wanted done. My brain can't move that fast and comprehend what I'm supposed to do. To me, it was like chaos and my head was spinning. And when they wanted me to throw that wall ball harder I really did want to throw it at a human. Not necessarily either of the coaches but I did have a human target in my head. Although it might have been fun to throw it at one of them ;-) Problem is they can throw a lot harder than I can. They have more strength in one hand than I do in my arms and legs put together.
35 Burpees (mine were cut in half)
60 Sit Ups
50 Kettle Bell Swings (26lb.)
40 Pull Ups
30 Push Ups
Time 22:26
I was averaging 5-6 Burpees a minute. The coach was saying an average of 10 per minute so I decided I wanted to see where I was. So my next goal is to get to 7 a minute. I really want to keep up and stay on point. I understand why I was cut in half (even though I really wanted to do the entire WOD) but one day I don't want my burpees cut in half. It will take me some time to get to an average of 10 per minute but I really want to work on increasing them if not by only 1 burpee over the next few weeks. I think that's reasonable. I just have to make it a priority along with those squats and box jumps.
Sit ups were fine. I can feel it in my abs though.
Kettle Bell swings tried to do me in. That 26lb. ball might as well weigh a ton. I just have to make sure I use my hips and not just my arms.
Jumping Pull Ups were the same. I tried to make sure I jumped higher but I was so tired.
Push Ups were my thorn in my side tonight. I just didn't feel like I did them right. My leg was hurting and not in a good way when I was coming up on my toes. We weren't allowed to use our knees and that made them harder. And then just trying to use my arms by this point to push myself off the floor was a challenge. I never thought these would give me such a hard time and neither did the coach. He just shook his head at me. Wondering if I throw too many curve balls at him. I don't mean to. I don't think any of the coaches have learned yet what they think will bother me won't and what they don't think will bother me will.
As much a I hate that I didn't do the complete WOD I do understand the scaling back. I just want to get to a point where I'm not scaled back and I'm not doing the WOD an eternity having people hang around longer than they want waiting on me to finish. I do still wonder if the coaches get tired of waiting on me to finish and are ready to go. I really don't care where I finish and finishing last is fine with me. But I know going to the last class it has to be tiresome as we all are ready to go home at some point. DAMN!!! I thought I had worked through this mental block already. Any reason it had to creep back around???
All I can do is strive to do better and improve the exercises and my time. I really do want to get the hang of all this. This morning I was talking to a coworker and she and I were talking about all the things I want to do when I get healthy enough to do them. It really reminded me how badly I want to get healthy and lose this weight and have the strength and stamina to do things like zip lining, drive a racing car around the speedway, take flying lessons and so many more things on my list. Hell, I still want to go to bull riding school! I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching everyone else go out and have fun. I DO WANT THIS!!! Just hope my coaches know how badly I want it too and help me get to where I can achieve these goals and dreams.
WOW! I didn't expect to write all this when I started today's entry. Guess I just needed to get it out. Now, it's time to move on and work harder so I can achieve these goals and dreams!
