CrossFit Day 92

Today’s workout was a new hero workout called “Nate”, named for CPO Nate Hardy, US Navy, who died this month in combat in Iraq. His new workout is: Max rounds in 20 minutes of 2 muscle ups, 4 handstand pushups, 8 72# kettlebell swings. I don’t have muscle ups or a 72# Kettlebell. My version of this workout today is the following:

Eights for Nate:

Max rounds in 20 minutes of:

  1. 8 pullups
  2. 8 chair dips
  3. 8 handstand pushups (knees on table)
  4. 8 kettlebell swings (53# kettlebell)

Unfortunately, one of my housemates was cooking something and forgot about it, so I stopped the timer at 17 minutes to go tell her. I came back down, restarted the timer and went after the last three minutes. The last round was the fastest as I raced the clock. I decided to finish round 8, even after the timer went off. By beautiful coincidence, I finished the last swing at 20:08 on the clock.

My results: 8 rounds in 20:08.

My HRM: 21:27, 11:52 zone (hard); HR : 158 avg, 185 max; 227 cal

(Yeah, stop forgetting to hit the stop button on the heart rate monitor, smart guy.)
