Tuesday

Hands were good.  Left shin still feels a bit wonky.  Going to have to be careful with it.  Also kinda fun today, I normally eat a half of a banana before exercising, whether its running or rucking or Crossfit or whatever.  I was in a rush to leave today and completely forgot it.  So all of today's workouts were done with no food.

5:00 rowing warm up and 10:00 of stretching.

First:
Crossfit 130808
10 Rounds, for time:
7 Burpees
7 Knees to Chest

Quick but tough wod.  I'm trying to do a burpee-intensive week, 125 of them yesterday, and today's wods totaling 130.  Hopefully it'll help make them a bit easier for me, since right now they are very difficult.  Went well though.  Did every round unbroken, and only rested for a few seconds between rounds towards the end.  Finished with a time of 7:41.

Second:
Combined a flat dumbbell benchpress workout with ab stuff.  I would do a set of benchpress, put the weights away, then get down and do a max set of some ab exercise.  Benchpress went well, started with the 70lbs DBs, then 80, then 90, and even did a few with 100s.  Tried with 105s, got halfway up and sat there for 10 seconds before the chest said Nope!.  Dropped back down to 80 and did a few there before heading off.  For abs, I did scissors, flutter kicks, side bends, seat V-ups, and leg levers.

Third:
Sealfit 120731
For time, run 6 miles, at every mile marker stop and do 10 burpees.  If total time is over 60:00, complete 100 x 4ct mountain climber penalty.

This was pretty unpleasant.  It was 92F outside and felt like 100, according to weather.com.  Not to mention all the burpees I'd already done, and yea, this wasn't much fun.  Add to that I did it on hilly trails and you start to get how bad it was.  But I hate mountain climbers, so there was no way I was going to do it in over 60:00.  Finished in 56:27.
