Open WOD 12.4

For some reason or another this WOD was haunting me during the week. Thursday night I couldn't sleep if my life depended on it. I was tossing and turning all night. Waking up thinking about this damn WOD. WHY on earth was this happening? Wall balls and DU's are two of my best movements and I knew a muscle up wasn't really within reach. Not trying to be pesismistic, but at that point I didn't have a ring dip and I don't have the strongest pull-ups either. So what was my deal?!

Woke up Sunday morning earlier than planned again. Apparently my body doesn't want me to get more thatn 7.5 hours straight of sleep. Lame. Because I could use more! Anyway, felt good and a lot less anxious. Didn't really have a plan for the wod, except to get 240.

Open WOD 12.4
12:00 AMRAP
150 wall balls 14# ball 9 foot target
90 Double Unders
30 Muscle Ups

240 reps

Brandon volunteered to count for me, which I was happy with. He's really good and giving short cues and keeping you moving. We decided at before the wod started to go with sets of 15 then a few seconds rest. I got to 90 on sets of 15, then did 6 sets of 10 for the last 60 reps. I finished the wall balls around 8:00. I was happy with that, obviously not my best "Karen" time, but that's not what I was going for. I just wanted to pace it so I finished them without being completely gased for the DU's.

Walked over to my rope, took a few seconds to breathe then busted out 30 du's. I was very surprised by this because I figured my shoulders would be smoked. I could've gone longer, but decided to force myself to rest so I didn't trip up a lot on the last 60. I think I then did 10-10-15-15. Pretty great sets overall for me not wanting to go all out. My calves were definitely feeling it here.

I finished with about 1:57 on the clock to get upstairs and play around on the rings. I took a couple breaths jumped up and went after it. Probably the closest I've been, but I still have a long way to go. Made two other attempts before the clock ran out.

Overall, happy with this performance. Got what I wanted, so that's all I can ask for. Brandon was funny when he said "you aren't even tired from this, are you?" I by no means was gased and probably could've gone for a run or something after. But filled my duties of cheering and counting for others.

I have to say my mom is awesome. Every week she inspires me more and more. She needs to give herself more credit for how awesome she is and how hard she pushes herself!!
