As we drove up to the gym this morning, I said, "Good! There's nobody running around the parking lot. Means we won't be running." The board had everyone doing a clean and jerk progression, so I figured they'd have us do something strength-related as well (when can we do deadlifts again?!). Nope. Instead we did Helen. The real kicker here is that I thought, "well, they won't have us doing pull ups in a WOD two days in a row, so sure, I'll do all 20 in the warmup."
Dad and I definitely have different strengths when it comes to this workout. Dad can just run along without any apparent problems, but I usually have to walk part of the run. I actually kind of wonder what my strength was in this workout; I can't run fast or far (yet), I can't do unassisted pull ups... I guess the KB swings were okay, but that's because I was only using .5 pood (8 kg). Not my favorite WOD, but it helps me know what I need to work on (namely, pull ups and running, ha).
Dad just did Helen last Saturday, and he's already shaved 2:00 off of his time. GO DAD!
My time was 14:08. My back muscles are sore. Time to eat some red meat and maybe make myself a kale/almond butter/frozen berry/coconut milk smoothie.
I'm loving the blog; great links, cool information. You may not feel that you have strengths, but you are definitely getting stronger! Keep up the good work, you two.
