STRENGTH: 1hr class with 27:12 mins of work--30's!! 30 each of 1-arm kettle ball, toes to bar, box jumps, ring dips, double-under jump ropes, 45# thrusters, burpees, dip-shoulder press, pull-ups, and 300' of 25# weighted lunges...all as for time. I think that was all of them. Wow, my left calf was twitching by the end and I was sure I was going to drop a 25# weight on my head. A discussion in class revealed the xfit approach to speed vs form: keep good form as long as possible, but your form should start to fail if you are intense enough. Yeah, I think I reached that point today. My arms were so tired I couldn't hold a pen afterwards. I will most certainly be sore tomorrow.
SWIM: 2500 yards in 75 mins. WU ~22mins, then 2x800 at 70%. First in 18:30, second slower in 18:55. I meant to go a bit faster on the second one but my form was suffering. So maybe I was going too fast? I finished the prescribed workout in 48 laps, but decided to get 2 more in--so 50 laps. I was using the CD as a stretch, focusing on long arms, long legs, and long torso. My shoulders appreciated it.
Day 3 of the paleo challenge--following a stricter paleo plan to try to find why I was suffering some stomach upset. I was cheating too much and also having problems with ups and downs of energy. I'm already feeling the benefit, whether real or placebo doesn't matter--I'm feeling good! And I've tried coconut milk--delicious in omelettes!
