CFFB WoD 3.9.10

Well, i did not do any of the insanity workouts… yet. the biggest problem i have with those flavor of workouts is that i just do not like working out in my own living room… i tend to sweat a lot and i’m not a fan of sweating on my carpet where i play with my son and (very rarely) ‘veg-out’ on the couch. i’ve got plans for my permahouse that will either incorporate a separate room as a workout facility (to start) and eventually reserve a portion of an out building (pole barn-esque) reserved for our equipment and training area. until then… i guess i’ll just have to 1) stay fat (not a likely option) 2) suck it up (perhaps) or 3) find a way to get the workouts in elsewhere. ya know i do have that fitness center…

NEway, on to todays WoD:

Complete 8 rounds of:

Sprint 200 meters

*Rest 2:1 (rest:work) between rounds

My Results:

38s, 39s, 41s, 40s, 44s, 44s, 43s, 40s

a not complex WoD today and i’m already feeling it in my calves – seems to be the case when i do some extensive running. while i didn’t pass out or collapse afterward, i definitely took my time to recover (1 walking lap 200m and one jogging lap). kinda sad, really. next time this workout comes around, i’d like to see all 8 under 40s – i think that’s an attainable goal.

CFFB WoD 1.18.10

MiLK day and with that the High School had the day off – i, however, didn’t have the day off. so i woke, as usual, in the AM and drove the PHS. usually, i see a car or two in the parking lot, but not today. so i decide to go it alone today, which was fine because the CFFB WoD for today was pretty simple – 16 100s with a 3:1 rest to work ratio.

My Results:

18.0s, 17.3s, 18.4s, 18.2s, 19.4s, 18.8s, 18.2s, 17.6s,
17.7s, 18.0s, 19.5s, 20.0s, 18.1s, 17.8s, 17.6s, 16.5s

i did take a 2 minute halftime break and in the 4th quarter, my 3:1 rest to work ratio turned into more of a 4:1, but i got them all done. the times were VERY discouraging, because they’re way too high and yet, i will be sore.

After catching my breath and a two lap (indoor) walk/jog/stumble cool down i did some work on the agility ladder and tested out a couple new exercises i found on the internets… will continue to play with the ladder.

Addendum 1/19/10: My calves locked up on me multiple times yesterday, and my lovely wife massaged them last night. it was a painful experience for me and i think she had much to much fun causing said pain. i do thank her for that as i am able to walk a little easier today.
