So, no running for me as I was made to row instead of run.  I think I made it very clear how much I hate rowing.  And the coach made it very clear how much he didn't care - LOL!  I feel it in my arms but I don't feel it in my legs.  He says I'm supposed to use my legs more but how do you use your legs more if all they're there for is to push you back and your arms have to do all the work??? 

I was surprised he didn't drop me down on the kettle bell.  I knew I could get away with 26lb. but I went ahead and used the 35lb. 

I have no idea what my deadlift weight was as he set it up for me. 

Overhead squats was with a PVC pipe. 

Power cleans were done instead of dumbbell squat cleans. 

I was looking forward to this WOD as it had a lot of different things in it.  But having to row just took me down mentally.  It's not a lot of fun being the only one for the WOD.  Looking back and seeing how it went had I known I wouldn't have shown up.  I think the coach was tired of coaching after the previous class.  And I just wasn't into it once I knew I had to row a total of 2,800 meters and really didn't put any effort into it.  Guess I was finally getting my confidence going with the running and felt that challenge go away.  I know I'm slow and it's just no fun at times being slow.  And now that I look at the WOD again there seems to be A LOT of stuff was modified.  I just have to get back out there on Sunday on my own and get that confidence back up with the 1 mile run. 

I don't even know my time as I really wasn't interested.  My time meant nothing to me as I didn't come out of this WOD feeling like I accomplished anything.  I know things are hard for me but when half or most or all of the WOD is modified for me I'd rather just not show up.  The whole point to looking at what the upcoming WOD is going to be is to get mentally prepared and then to go in and when half of it is switched up doesn't work well for me.  I'd rather just have a whole new WOD posted that I knew nothing of than to modify half or most of the WOD.
