Day 8

Confession time

I failed at my only goal I set for myself yesturday - getting to crossfit. Stupid headache. Going tonight. NO EXCUSES. I will chat more later. Have to work. Yuck.

Update
Well Miss "lazy cow" Josie finally go her act together and went to crossfit. In summary: IT WAS GREAT.

Pre- WOD
Driving from work to crossfit was a bit of an ordeal. I had heart palpitations from stress of what the WOD would be. Being on a self-imposed ban from looking up the WOD online, I figured this would a way to reduce my pre- WOD anxiety. I was wrong. Being a natural pessimist, and general doom and gloomer, I imagined the WOD to be 1000 burpees for time, a 10k row, and a few GHD's thrown in for good measure. The WOD was a lovely (read: I didn't puckey, or finish last, or make a total fool out of myself) mix of strength, conditioning and an occasional box jump. (Hot Tip: Apparently the function training aspect of the box jump is to be able to jump over dead zombies after the Apocalypse).

Poor Mr "stillthinkingofanappropiatenicknameforhim" Nafe was very patient with me. I asked him to repeat over and over a story of a super amazing crossfit nutcase man saying how he hates every moment right up  the 3-2-1-go of each WOD. He is my hero. Knowing other people hate the thought of it as much as me is reassuring. Anyway, 1 strong long black later, many deep breaths and a bit of positive self-talk, I attended the box for the WOD.
WOD-ness

Skill

OHS set a PB and finally got off the 'ghetto' bar. From 7.5kg to 25kg. Yay

Strength
Again set a PB and moved up from 7.5kg to 20kg. But to just put my ego back in line these were only very low reps so maybe I might be pulling out the baby weights again soon if there is a smash it up session programmed.

WOD
15kg bar for hang power clean and a stack of weights (approx 22") for the box jump. Not too bad. I think I should have upped my weight for the clean, but was chicken. Next time hey. Note to self I need to YouTube crossfit chicks with bits doing hang power cleans to see their body position on the pully-up section, as I was constantly hitting lady lump with bar. Ouch.

Must say having Miss E "SuperCrossFitAmazingChick" spot me and what not was great. What a star she is. Not so keen on Miss E noticing I didn't say "see you tomorrow", when we were leaving... but hey my goal is 3x CrossFit this week, not bloody every day... (yet).

Miss Josie xoxo
