Crossfit
15 min amrap of:
15 sit-ups
10 wall balls (15#)
5 ring dips

I lost count, but Cathy claims to have completed 10 rounds. I know I couldn't keep up with her so I figured I did 8-9 rounds. I finished with 10 toe to bars since my rear end was getting raw from the sit-ups.

Hit the pool tonight for the first time in a long time. Warm-up: 100IM, 100 free, 150 free, 200 free. Core: 10x50 on 1:00 (did 50's at 40 sec), 5x50 on 1:00 (held 50's to 43 sec), and 100 IM cool down. My 50's on 40 sec was tough, just slowing down to 43 made the workout more manageable.

Crossfit
6 rounds of:
5 C2B
3 thrusters (95#)
3 OHS (95#)

I replaced the 25 DU with OHS due to my leg was still sore. Also, I cut back the rounds because my shoulders were still sore.

Spin class - mostly a free spin because I have not been on any type of bike for a long time.

The hollow rocks were a beast after all that... I started out with 30-20 second sets. Then It was just trying to hold 10 sec sets.

What was I thinking?!!!! This WOD just about killed me. I wanted to quit during the round of 30 reps. When I finished I just colapsed on the floor, and didn't or couldn't move for about 5 minutes. It took me a couple days to recover from this so I could log the workout! Just about Everyone had the same result after this WOD. Thanks CrossFit Dixie of trying to end our misery before the end of the world came... Wait a minute!! It didn't come... I guess I have to keep going to crossfit!?!?

Cathy and I showed up for fun. I made it 3 miles before I realized I needed to turn back. We were both sore and still exhausted from yesterdays crossfit WOD.
