My original plan was to do some tapering for the Superfit Games Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Then take Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off. Well, after we thought of this amazing strongman WOD on Sunday that included rope climbs, atlas stone lifting, kettlebell carrying and GHD sit ups, I sprained my ankle warming up on the rope. How awesome is that? I spent the rest of Sunday and Monday unable to walk. Tuesday I felt significantly better. I happened to have an acupuncture appointment on Tuesday as well and she did some stuff to get the swelling down. Wednesday I could jog and hop on my foot with just a little tenderness. Needless to say, my tapering plan went out the window. I had to get in the gym on Wednesday because my muscle was disappearing! I needed chalk on my hands and perspiration down my face!
Wednesday Evening:
21-15-9
GHD sit ups
Push ups
sub 5, forgot to time
"Unbroken"
20 pull ups
500m row
20 pull ups
500m row
20 pull ups
If you cannot do everything unbroken then you must start that set over.
6:30, no failures.
The 21-15-9 was a nice warm up. Really felt it in my core! For the next WOD I averaged about 1:50 on the rower plus or minus a couple seconds. The pullups sucked, my "pull" was definitely fatigued. I felt great afterwards and ready to do more. I plan on getting in the gym Thursday and just fooling around with a couple things. My ankle is not fully healed yet so I still want to rest it. I am so excited for the Superfit Games!
