Helen

Sunday's WOD

Helen

3 rounds of:
400m run
21 kettlebell swings (26#)
12 pull ups (g-band)

11:54 (PR)

I've done Helen two times before, once in elements (only 2 rounds) and then again a few weeks out of elements.  The second time, I did all 3 rounds, 1.5 rounds w/ 20# then the rest w/ 10#, and jumping pull ups...15:07.  I was hurting that day!!  Today I felt really good, I probably could have pushed a little harder on the runs (of course I say that now), but I'm really happy with my time.

bs, pu and farmers

Wednesday's WOD

3 rounds for time of:
10 Back Squats (58#)
20 Pull-ups (g-band)
200m Farmers Walk* (30#)
*Every time you drop the dumbells, perform 3 burpees

25:19

Whoa... This was a hard one.  The weight on the back squat was fine, pull ups were ok, but damn those farmer walks sucked!  I dropped the weights 4-6 times per round, so I got to do a few burpees.  I'm glad I finished with 30# and didn't go down to 25#, even though it would have been way easier.  But like Colin said during the warm up, "If it doesn't hurt you're probably not doing it right."

Great workout after 4 days off!  We had a test day
 back in February where we were timed for each individual set of 100 (with breaks in between).  My total time (not counting the breaks) was 28:37 and I did jumping pull ups and push ups to one abmat.  The push ups that day were killer!! By the end I could barely do one.  Today I beat that time by 3:22!  Talk about progress.

run/squat and Grocery List

Sunday's WOD

4 rounds of 
400m run
50 squats

16:47

"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar"

Some of my favorites: baby brussels sprouts, bell peppers, apples with peanut butter, broccoli slaw, just chicken, black forest ham, flat iron steak, strawberries, baby broccoli (with the stems).

One of the things I love about the zone is it doesn't really feel like your on diet.  Look at all that tasty food!

push jerk/ 1000m row

Friday's WOD

Push Jerk
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
65-70-85-90-90-95(f)-95

Row: 4:26.9

This was my first time doing a heavy push jerk and I felt pretty good.  Next time I'm aiming for 100+.  I've never done the 1000m row before either so I didn't know where I should try to pace myself.  I was around a 2:15 split for most of the time and I think that may have been a little slow.  So next time I'm going to try to pace myself around 2:10 and see how that goes.

Karen and 400s

Monday's WOD

Karen
150 Wall balls (10#/8ft)
12:02

2- 400m run with exactly 3 min rest between sets

1:34 (PR!), 1:40

For the first 40ish wall balls I was going for the 10ft target.  I could only do one or two at a time and I had to jump a little to get it up there, so I went down to the 8ft mark.  After that I got more in a rhythm and could do a lot more in a row.

Murph


Most of the group Saturday morning before the WODs started


Monday's WOD

Murph

800m run (RX'D is 1 mile)
100 pull ups (jumping)
200 push ups (knee)
300 squats
800m run (RX'D is 1 mile)

39:09

I broke the pull/push ups and squats into 20 rounds of Cindy (5, 10, 15). This was the perfect workout to do after coming back from the qualifiers! During the last run my legs were so gumby feeling but at the last 400m I kept thinking about all the amazing performances this weekend and it really helped me push myself  harder.

zone: 79

I think the zone challenge is over (???) but I'm going to continue counting my days here because it helps me not to cheat when its not a cheat day and it will keep me accountable.  I got to meet Robb Wolf (he's Nick's trainer) this weekend and he said cutting out dairy really helps people lean out faster, so I figured I'd give it a go for a while and see how it works.

6am!

Friday's WOD

4 rounds for time of:
400m run
exactly 2 min rest between each run

then max pull ups

first 400m: 1:35 (PR by 31 seconds)
total (with rest): 13:48

pull ups: 10 (blue band, only my second time using it!)

I'm not a morning person so this was harder than normal but I'm super stoked on my first 400m time! The pull ups were a little wobbly, but Wednesday was my first time being able to get a one with the blue band (I got 3), so things are looking good!!

Off to the qualifiers!!
