CrossFit Day 98

Today’s workout was very similar to one I did after I’d discovered CrossFit, but before I started actually doing it. Today, it was a little more work, but I doubt that I’ll be sore nearly as long as I was in August.

Four rounds for time:

  1. 400 m run (actually, about 430 m)
  2. 50 squats

After I redlined the first lap (and sprinted that 430 meters in under 90 seconds), I knew this workout was going to hand my ass to me. I went after the squats in that first round with abandon and had to rest for 20 seconds after I smacked the Lap button before I could start running again. I pulled it back a little bit, aiming for 2 minute laps and squat rounds about 3 minutes long. My original idea about getting through this workout in 17 minutes was probably a little unrealistic. I’m just happy I finished in less than 20 minutes after taking the heart rate above 215 bpm for the first time in a long time. Let’s not blow a head gasket, Apollo.

My HRM: 19:48, 1:52 zone (hard); HR: 174 avg, 217 max; 303 cal
Stopwatch: 19:44.30
