It's all Evelyn's fault

Apparently, Evelyn saw this WOD on the CF national site and went "ooh! , ooh!" and asked Max if we could do it. So, Ev, when and if you read this:


Not knoeing dat many numbrz, this shit was hard:

Three rounds for time of:
21 Knees to elbows
21 Kettlebell swing, 1.5 pood
21 Push-ups
18 Towel Pull-Ups
15 Box jumps, 24"
42 Supermans
Walking lunge, 150 ft

44:04, non-RX (I only did 10 towel pullups per round)
Splits were 13:34 | 15:59 | 14:36

Actually, it wasn't all THAT bad. It was just long, and a lot of volume. The only things that really killed my time were the KTE's, which I basically did in sets of 5, and the towel pull-ups, which I did in sets of...2. (This is why I only did 10 per round. 18 and my time would've been an hour.) Everything else was in large chunks, if not unbroken.

Oddly tired

Climbing at IW:
10a, rope (25'), 10b, 10b

Ten feet off the ground on my first climb, I knew I was in trouble today. Just felt really tired, which I find odd and somewhat frustrating considering how little I exerted myself this weekend. Maybe it was all the time in the sun, or just the stress of travelling and three days where I'm sure I didn't meet my protein goal, or what, I dunno, but this morning sucked.

I did manage to climb the rope, though, which knocks off a Level 2 goal. I didn't get all the way to the top (my grip gave out), but I did get about 25' off the ground before I had to take a break. At first it felt quite easy, but after a while my grip just got to weak to hold myself up while pulling up my legs.

Didn't do the 5x5's, as I could tell from my condition that they'd be disappointing, if not injurious. So that's one week skipped - I'll get back on that horse this week, though with the climbing competition on Friday I'll probably need to do Friday's on Thursday or something.
