Crossfit in 100 words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc..hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports

Death by burpees

Coming right off of work today, hit the box at 0830. Didn't have much energy at all coming into today's workout. Even during the warm up my energy level was low, which got me a little nervous about the WOD. 

Warm up
400m Run
+
10 second handstand hold
10 hand release push ups
10 squats
10 walking lunges
(x3)

Training: (Function)
running clock burpees
(1 on the 1st minute, 2 in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd…its a sleeper for a few minutes, then a nightmare quickly after that; goal is to “dig in” for the tough parts and try to discover what the limiter is; was is the breathing, anxiety, muscle endurance…etc…?; at some ponit you’ll ask yourself as well, “should I do one more to finish the set in time” - the answer is YES!)

Actually began to feel a little better once the workout started. I was able to push through it, and I think it went well. Going to be a short post today because I have to get to bed....
