WEEK 3

AM - CrossFit:
Warm-up
Strength: DE; sumo Lifts #175
WOD: 5 rounds for time (17:35)
5 clean and jerk #95
15 KB swings #55
25 push-ups

The push-ups were so hard after the KB swings. I was finished after 3 rounds. I was happy to finish all 5!

PM - Swim Drills

Warm-up: 100 IM, 8X25 (0:30), 50 board kick, 50 back kick, 200 free, 100 IM
Core: 10x75 (1:30) times: 52, 53, 53, 54, 54, 55, 55, 55, 54, 53 sec
Cool down: 50 free easy, 100 IM

I swam the 25s med/hard (18s) during warm-up to bring my heart rate up so I would see if this gave me better performance on the 75s. It seemed to work. Knowing I had plenty of time to recover after each interval, I pushed the 75s a little harder. Fun workout!!

Went to yoga class after pool. Lower back, gluts, and hip flexors burned but I did all the holds and poises! Maybe xfit is paying off!

AM - Track - 12X200

Warm-up: 1mile, 4X100 sprint/glides

Cool Down: 1 mile

Started out with the first 7 int really kicking my butt. The workout allows a 3-5 sec variation in intervals. So I backed off a little and that made all the difference to finish and still get a good quality workout. We did this same workout 2 weeks ago and I was hitting 35's consistently!! Next week is 4x1000!

PM - CrossFit:
As many rounds as possible in 8:00 of:
7 Back Squats
7 Chest-to-Bar Pull ups (C2B)

6 rounds with 175lbs the first 3 rounds and then down to 125lbs the last 3 rounds on the squats. I was falling forward from just pure exhaustion!
