Another day for pistols...
WOD
70 Double Unders
60 Sit-ups
50 Cockroaches
40 Pistols
30 Burpees
20 Push-ups
10 Get-ups
12:27 Rx
Was pretty excited with this one right from the start as I managed the 70 DU's ubroken - new PR! I started by telling myself that I'd aim for 50 (which is coming easier these days) but then I got that far and decided to do a more as I was feeling strong and then once I hit sixty I wanted to go unbroken. The last rep was a little awkward but I pulled it out and was quite happy. I did a little dance then moved on to the sit-ups keeping a solid pace throughout.
The cockroaches were the first sign of me slowing down. They were killer right after the ab mat sit-ups. Ouch. Lots of tight and cramping abs going on but managed to push through breaking them into a few sets.
The pistols got me. Tash and Kirst both powered through them on either side of me while I just tried to keep a steady pace and get solid reps on each one rather than a bunch of half reps with wasted energy like yesterday's WOD. The burpees hurt, they were exhausting but as with any set of burpees it's just about keeping a steady pace and never stopping. The push-ups I broke into 4 sets of 5 and they were very hard on the arms but I made sure to do them from my toes - I wasn't going to fight through all those pistols Rx only to drop to my knees for 20 push-ups. It was definitely a mental battle. The get-ups were easy and went quickly - they're so much better when you don't have to jump up to touch a bar on top of it all.
It was a good steady WOD today and I quite enjoyed it but after taking it easy last week (a bit of rest after the comp) I'm starting to yearn to lift heavy stuff again. It's a good feeling...
