As we were getting ready to start the workout this morning one of my regular morning workout buddies expressed some apprehension that the room was filled with so many athletic people. I think he felt better when I explained to him that they only seemed so fit and athletic because we were in the room.
His comment points out one of the great things about CrossFit, the opportunity for all levels of fitness to work along side of each other and be successful.
Although I was not moving fast this morning it is significant that I never stopped to rest. I was able to continue moving at a consistent pace. Also, I did regular push ups. Last thing I needed was my knees grinding into the blacktop, so the situation forced me to change up my push ups. I don’t know that my shoulders will every support going all the way down to my chest but I had decent depth and good speed.
Fortunately it was early morning and the tar had not yet begun to bubble on the blacktop as we did our run, squats, push ups and sit ups. That could have become a sticky situation.
We did 1 400M run for warm up and then 4 more for the workout. That totals up to 2000M or 1.2427424 miles. My hate affair with running continues. It seems we are doing more and more running. All I can do is continue to embrace the run. I have been trying to figure out why, when I was a child, the books said “See Dick and Jane Run”. I always wondered, why don’t they walk sometime? Obviously my dislike of running is related in someway to a childhood trauma.
I don’t have time results. My best recollection is that I heard someone getting done around 13 minutes and I think I was 17 something. I did not come in last, I think there were one or two people behind me. Since we were outside without a big whiteboard to post times as people finished up it was not as easy as usual to get things recorded.
Here is a video Brian put together of the morning, including Justin’s muscle up. Justin weight’s in at 265 lbs. Brian missed the first one so in typical Justin style, he just did another one when Brian got back with the camera.
