My CrossFit training has been better than ever lately and I am getting better/faster/stronger every day. I have my first sprint triathlon on Sunday so I will start blogging again with a recap of that.

Then as soon as I got back I did a quick jog to end of the street, just to get me legs used to that transition. I signed up for my first triathlon which will be May 23!<br /><br />Then, my mom said she wanted to see how far she could make it when trying to run a mile. She knew she wouldn't be able to run the whole thing and would have to take some breaks, so she just wanted to gauge how far she could get before having to walk. She made it to right about 0.40 miles and had to walk, but after she caught her breath she started back running. In total I would say she was able to jog for at least 0.75 miles, and she finished in 13:30! She really worked hard and hopefully we can do this weekly. I am also excited to do this with Michelle to see how far she can make it and what her time is. This time last year they were both at about a 20:00 mile! So they are making tremendous improvements.<br /><br />Okay, onto the Monday night WOD.<br /><br />Overhead Squats<br />3-3-3-3-3<br />15k - 25k - 34k - 40k - 47k (103 lbs.)<br /><br />then....<br /><br />4 rounds with a 5 minute rest between each round<br /><br />With 5 minutes on the clock:<br /><br />Run 600 meters<br /><br />With remaining time do AMRAP of<br />5 dips (skinny black band assist)<br />10 push ups<br /><br />Round 1: 4 rounds + 4 dips<br />Round 2: 4 rounds<br />Round 3: 3 rounds + 5 dips + 5 push ups<br />Round 4: 3 rounds + 5 dips + 7 push ups<br /><br />This one was TOUGH! Starting out on those runs in the later rounds was painful and awkward because I felt like I had no control of my arms. My chest, shoulders, triceps were so fatigued from the dips and push ups! This was an ass-kicking WOD and I am just glad I was able to stay fairly consistent.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03578480381068516071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672289735774951095.post-1278085198195677562010-04-20T11:11:00.000-07:002010-04-20T11:15:14.710-07:00WOD 4-17-10"Filthy Fifty"<br /><div></div><br /><div>50 box jumps (19 inch)<br />50 jumping pull-ups<br />50 kettlebell swings (35 lbs.)<br />50 walking lunges<br />50 knees to elbows<br />50 push-presses (35 lbs.)<br />50 back extensions<br />50 wall balls (14 lbs.)<br />50 burpees<br />50 double unders</div><br /><div>Time: 28:32 </div><br /><div>When we did this on 1/9/10 my time was 32:04.

My stride was all sorts of f'ed up though, so that really slowed me down. Can't wait for this dang foot to get better!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03578480381068516071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672289735774951095.post-31801316402084040712010-04-02T09:28:00.001-07:002010-04-02T09:30:22.488-07:00WOD 3-26-10Olympic lifting workout, focused on upper body strength to give my Achilles a little more time to rest.<br /><br />Overhead Squats 6 x 3<br />15k - 25k - 25k - 30k - 30k - 35k<br /><br />Press 3 x 5, 3 x 3<br />25k - 25k - 27k, 30k - 30k - 32k<br /><br />Bent Row 5x5<br />15k - 15k - 25k - 27k - 30k - 35kMeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03578480381068516071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672289735774951095.post-5864209030215270422010-03-24T14:29:00.000-07:002010-03-24T14:37:17.350-07:00WOD 3-22-10For time:<br />400 Meter Run<br />21 KB Swings (35 lb.)<br />11 Pull-Ups<br />10 Tuck Jumps<br />50 Sit-Ups<br /><br />400 Meter Run<br />15 KB Swings<br />8 Pull-Ups<br />7 Tuck Jumps<br />100 Sit-Ups<br /><br />400 Meter Run<br />9 KB Swings<br />5 Pull-Ups<br />4 Tuck Jumps<br />50 Sit-Ups<br /><br />Time: 18:21<br /><br />We did this one back in June and my time was 19:40. So, a 1:20 improvement, not bad after running two half marathons! I did feel like Quasimodo when I was running though.<br /><br />On Tuesday morning I attempted to work out but my Achilles tendon on my left heel was absolutely killing me. I iced it, rested took Advil and foam rolled the heck out of my calf all day, but it didn't really help the pain. I made an emergency call to Dr. Taylor - I hated to admit to myself that I may have an injury! - and she was able to schedule me for a Wednesday appointment. Basically my calf is just super, super tight and it is pulling on the Achilles tendon. She was able to use the laser and do some terribly painful massaging, and it really improved the range of motion. It is still pretty sore/tight, so I have been ordered to take 3 days off. I might go crazy! But I know I need it. So I will rest until Saturday morning, when I plan to hit the gym with a vengance. Also Saturday will be the kick-off of the "30 Day Paleo Challenge" - I am excited! I am really ready to further clean up my diet and lean out. So, no posts over the next few days as I will be doing a whole bunch of nothing, workout wise at least.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03578480381068516071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672289735774951095.post-80031477448285583472010-03-22T08:32:00.000-07:002010-03-22T08:53:58.289-07:00March UpdateI have really dropped the ball with updating this thing! Instead of going back and making entries for the last two weeks I will just sum it up with this recap of the major events.<br /><br />March 13/14 - CrossFit Games Central Southern Texas Sectional Qualifier, Austin TX<br /><br />To sum it up, there were three WODs and I didn't completely suck at only 1 of them. The first WOD was a 2k row followed by max rep 185 lb. deadlifts. I was shooting for anything under 9:00 on the row and 10 deadlifts. I managed to make it off the row at about 8:38 and get 11 deadlifts. I was very pleased with this, because just about 9 months ago I could barely get 165 lbs. for reps. So, that was good. After WOD 1 I was in 16th place.<br /><br />I knew WOD 2 (3 rounds of: 2 handstand push-ups, 6 95 lb. ground to overhead, 10 burpees) would give me trouble because of the HSPUs. I was right, and I wasn't able to get a single one. This plummeted me in the rankings and I was basically out of contention for top 30.<br /><br />WOD 3 was a chipper and I did relatively well. I really struggled with the double unders in the grass, but I was able to eek them out one at a time. I made up some time in the final movement (15 65 lb. snatches) which was good, because I have never been confident with those.<br /><br />It was a great and awe-inspiring weekend to watch all of the strong Texas/Louisiana Crossfitters. Next year, I will much stronger both physically and mentally.<br /><br /><br />March 20/21 -Seabrook Lucky Trails Pelican Challenge, Seabrook TX<br /><br />The "Pelican Challenge" consists of a half marathon on both Saturday and Sunday. Wendy and Melissa from Crossfit Bay Area ran the half on Saturday which was awesome. I felt pretty good (except for a huge blister on my left foot) and finished right at 2:08. Wendy was able to finish her first half marathon (she attempted San Antonio but had to DNF due to IT band problems) and Melissa also completed her first half despite pretty bad knee pain. The weather was perfect and it was great to see everyone finish.<br /><br />I woke up Sunday morning pretty stifff - I should have definitely moved around a little more on Saturday afternoon. I put a large Band-Aid on the bottom of my foot, taped it on, changed shoes and I was ready to go. The weather was much cooler and very windy on Sunday, so my legs felt even more tight because I just shivered up until the starting gun. As soon as I started I knew I was moving slow. I think it ended up being about an 11 minute mile pace! My hips were SO tight I felt like my legs might just pop off at any moment. I walked quite a bit which was pretty demoralizing, but I figured I was okay as long as I kept moving to the finish line. I finally finished at 2:38. Not a great time for me, but not too terrible either considering the shape my legs were in. My mom and dad were there waiting at the finish line for me which was great. As much as it sucked at the time, I think I will probably do it again next year! Well, depending on when CF Games Sectionals fall. Hopefully my sister Meredith will be able to do it too! Also, even though I have run a full marathon, I forgot how tough it is - mentally and physically. Meredith is running in Nashville's Country Music Marathon at the end of April, so I definitely have a newfound respect for her! <br /><br />Up next:<br /><br />Time to gain some strength! Really going to focus more on going heavy during WODs rather than going for the fastest time. Also will pick up CFE WODs again consistently on Tues/Thurs afternoons and Sunday mornings. And cycling! Can't wait to get in some good rides. I will keep everything short though, don't want any endurance events to eat away any muscle gains.<br />Crossfit Bay Area is starting a 30 Day Paleo Challenge on March 27 and I am signed up! I don't eat TOO terribly right now, so it won't be a dramatic shift, but just another level of discipline. I'm looking forward to it!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03578480381068516071noreply@blogger.com0
