Week 3/Day 2: Hatch
WOD: 9:07rx
Wasn’t as bad as it seems. Great job by those early 5:30am risers!
Strength: 1st time deadlifting “for real” (aka not lighter weights during a WOD). 175# for 5 reps, then did 195# for 3 and 200# for 1 just for fun. Thanks for the coaching and encouragement today KP!
WOD: 10:59rx
Yay 5:30!
SQUAT CYCLE OF DEATH.
wod: 10:25 Rx. no shame in writing Rx on this one, hehe. i dreaded this one all day yesterday…really, for no reason. it’s not that bad!
195# for 5 and now wishing I had pushed to try for 200#. Next time! 13:46 RX, any rowing tips out there? I need to way become one with the rower…
Deadlift: 345# PR
WOD: 7:59 Rx. It was nice squeezing this one just under 8 mins.
Trish, just keep at it. Try to row often like 2-3 times a week. Mix it up with HIIT and endurance rows.
Today was a “mental health 1/2 sick day” at work, which allowed me to crash the 7:30 hour-of-power(ful women). It was pretty rad way to start the day. (I’ve got my 4th grade holiday concert tonight….and I didn’t want to miss burpee-day entirely!)
I’ve been feeling really down about my WODS since returning….I’ve lost so much progress in my time away, and everyone I used to train with has made so many incredible gains that I feel even further behind. I know it’s not about being competitive with others, and I keep reminding myself of that….but it’s not a thought I’m able to just ignore completely.
Anyway – today was a good day. DL 145#, which is not a PR…but the WOD was lovely. All the movements were safe enough that I could just plow through and leave a sweat angel that was photo-worthy. I could have pushed a bit harder in the middle, but my last 9 burpees felt like I was doing them on a cloud (a moving cloud…that rained glitter…). So good. 10:37 RX
Thank you KP, and thank you ladies whose names I didn’t even bother to learn this morning but whose awesomeness I haven’t stopped thinking about. <3
i guarantee you that you’ll be surpassing those old PRs in no time. you have to rebuild, but first you need to re-establish your baseline. don’t let the pre injury numbers frustrate you — use them as goals, but don’t get upset if you’re not reaching those goals in the short term. you’ll get there!
Way to kick ass, Lynn, your come back is a huge inspiration to me. I’m picturing you burpeeing on a glitter-filled rain cloud as I type this. And keep in mind how much you learned about PT in your time away. You are now an arsenal of knowledge that a lot of us will be tapping now and in the future. I’m excited to see you work your way back and then lap “pre-injury Lynn” 😉
DL: 315#, matches previous PR
WOD: 9:19
7:30am Women of Power class was a blast! Trish: You’ll be rocking that 200# dead lift next time, you looked Great throughout. Lynn: your burpees looked like they were raining glitter, they were going so fast in my peripheral vision!
Big thanks to KP, the instigator of several PRs!
WOD: 13:02 and 115# DL.
DL: 255# a little less than my PR, but was able to complete 5 with good form and felt really good about that
WOD: 9:55
