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 275lbsThe Workout - 5 rounds for time of the following:50 m up-hill sprint10 x 40lbs Dumbbells thrusters15 x squats50 m d0wn-hill runMy 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!  Here’s a cool video describing running and training techniques.Posted in Crossfit: My love/hate relationship Tagged: crossfit, deadlift, hill, pushup, running, sprint, tabata, thruster, training, wod, workout
