Friday at CrossFit Vancouver and a much needed WOD
Arthur doing what Arthur does... and always with a smile on his face!
Nothing like visiting my old stomping grounds for a workout with an old friend. This evening I joined Arthur for a WOD at CrossFit Vancouver (much-needed after a stressful day of last-minute commitments and preparation for 5 days away)… isn’t that always the way – we are most productive right before we leave for a little vacay?
Split Jerks (5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1)
Picking up the bar from the ground (power clean)
- 135 x 5
- 165 x 3
- 185 x 3
- 205 x 2
- 225 x 1
- 235 x 1
Other than my right ankle still swollen from the sprain a few weeks ago doing the Filthy 50, I felt pretty solid. I think all the Grouse Grinding is helping my recovery along.
WOD: Feathers (12 minute AMRAP) with 135 lbs
- 5 Sumo Deadlift High Pull
- 1 Squat Clean
- 5 Jerks (Push/Split)
My total was 10 rounds plus 3 reps. Definitely went too hard at the start and should have gone out at 1 round per minute and I think I could have sustained that pace… ah well, next time.
