So this weekend was pretty fabulous. Friday was a super long day with work then driving to the city for the Hawks game, but it was great fun with great friends.
Saturday morning I woke up for Oly class and Team Saturday. I decided to do a rowing wod during Oly lifting instead of lifting, I really want to work on my endurance and I feel doing extra cardio on the side is really going to help me loose that little bit left in my stomach. The rowing WOD was 2 rounds of (5 x 1:00 row, with 2:00 rest in between) between the 2 rounds 5:00 rest. Nicole was doing the wod with me and I tried to keep up with her. For those who don't know, Nicole ROCKS at rowing and she's a tough cookie to keep up with!!! But I ended up with 2764 m, I think, i know it was 2700something. Nicole ended up with 2900something, so I was ok with being about 200m short than her, because her pulls are sick!
Next we moved onto the Team Saturday and I was paired up with Marcie. I haven't had the opportunity to really work out with her before, so I was excited to be paired up with someone new. The wod was 5:00 row for calories. 12:00 AMRAP of: 10 push ups, 15 situps, 20 squats. 3:00 of burpees. One person works at a time. We decided to split the row in half and we got 78 calories in the end. The amrap we decided to each trade off with rounds and complete all 3 movements, then let the next person do it. I think this was a good way for us to do it and we ended up with 10 rounds plus 35 reps. Finally was the burpees, I gave it all i had and finally figured out how to just throw myself on the ground. It's amazing how much faster you can move through them, we ended up with 55 burpees. In the end we finished 11 out of 12 teams, but I didn't care. A lot of people are only in it for the belt and complain when they don't win and accuse people of cheating. But I was in it for the workout and I felt like I had a great workout. I definitely felt the sit ups and burpees the next day. Marcie kept apologizing for not being "awesome", but I just told her, you WERE awesome, you did what YOU could and we got a great workout in. That's all that really matters! :)
Yesterday was fabulous and relaxing because Nicole, Steph, Jennie, and myself went and got manicures and pedicures. Definitely some relaxation and girls time that I needed! Then K-Tuck and her husband Dave and Jer and I went bowling. It was nice to go out with some friends and just enjoy ourselves and not worry about having to get up for work.
Today was a furlough day at work, so no work, but no pay. I was ok with it because I got to sleep in and get some extra stuff down around the house that I needed to do and felt really great going to the Fort.
Strength: Hang Power Cleans 3-3-3-1-1-1. 35kg-40kg-45kg-50kg-55kg-57kg. I've never really done hang power cleans for a PR, so I was kind of basing it off my clean PR of 55kg. Which I already know could be heavier. I cleaned 55kg with ease and was hoping to get a couple kilos more. First attempt at 57kg I hit my boobs, so that was a fail. Second attempt I hit my chin and was thrown off. Third attempt I got too deep in the squat, so it was a failed rep. BUT now I know that I can clean 57 kilos!! :) So my final successful rep was 55kg.
WOD: 3:00 Burpee box jumps (24"/20") 2:00 rest 2:00 burpee box jumps 2:00 rest 1:00 burpee box jumps. My first thoughts were to shoot for 10/min, which I was able to do easily. I realize now, that my adding skills were off after the WOD and I did 66 reps, not 76, for some reason I wrote 76 on the board not 66. BUT my rounds were 32/21/13 = 66 reps. Apparently I should stick to using the calculator and not my head after the wods. oops. Not trying to cheat, promise!
After the wod Nicole, K-Tuck, RTL and I did the rowing wod for the week to finish preparing for the rowing competition on Saturday. the wod was 1000m row 6:00 rest 500m row 2:00 rest 250m row 2:00 rest 250m row. The goal was to row at our 2k pace for all rounds, which mine is 1:58/500m. My final time was 7:41. I was pretty happy with that and I felt great leaving the Fort tonight with two great workouts. I'm excited for this week and how great I'm feeling.
