I iced my shoulder for a little bit yesterday because I tweaked it on Day #76. Last night, we partied at the Beach Club, also known as Surrender, at the Encore. It was pretty epic. Bombay Sapphire Martinis = $17. They were sooooo good. Summer is almost over and I’ve vowed to give up partying once school starts.
Day #77
WOD
“Friday the 13th Partner Workout” (‘Annie are you ok’ style)
21-15-9
Row, for calories
Wall Ball
Toes-to-Bar (Knees-to-Elbow/Sit-up)
Push Press
KB Clean*On a given team (whether it’s 1 person or 5) each teammate will complete the given reps at their station and move to the next exercise once EVERY member has completed the given reps at their station (21 to start). Once each member of the team has completed 21 reps at each of the 5 stations, the team then moves to 15 at each station and so on. (That just sounds confusing, so Zach and I will explain better in class).
results: Team Awesome (Hector, Keith, Jesse, and I) - 20:15
After this workout, my right shoulder was done for. We had a person from Utah and 2 from Reno today visit our box. It’s always fun to see new faces!
The workout felt long. At first I had a problem with the KB clean, but I banged through that portion ok. I’m strong at the row so it felt like every big pull was 1 calorie burned. During the last round though, my pulls got weaker so I counted twice where I had to pull more than once to get a calorie. How unfortunate. The wall balls went by pretty smooth, considering I hate doing them. Push press was fine. I worked through the pain and it was only 95# so it was ok. I focused on using my legs/hips more to compensate my sore shoulder, so that helped out a lot. It started to almost feel like a jerk since my drive up was so strong, at times I felt like my feet left the ground.
My last workout was Toes-to-bars. My technique got sloppy towards the end and that is one thing I was not satisfied with. There may have been 3-5 reps where I didn’t get my toes completely to the bar, but I counted them anyways. Yeah, I felt like I cheated. If this was competition, those would have been no rep anyways. I’m beating myself up because I cheated myself and my teammates. I will remember this feeling because it sucks. Never again!
I drank last night at Encore and I felt it today. I had no appetite today so my protein intake was very minimal. I ended up having a Kind Bar for breakfast at 9am, another bar at 11am, and another bar at 5:00pm before CrossFit. I downed half a serving of Endorush and maybe thats why my performance sucked. I didn’t feel like I totally underperformed, but yeah, I just didn’t have it in me to eat good today. Last night we had sushi at Wazuzu and racked up a $300 tab. That Nigori sake was just fuckin amazing and at the end of the night I took my boys out to Robertos. That messed me up in the morning and ruined my appetite all day. I’ve been bad and I need someone to hold me accountable. Where’s my life coaches when I need them?
