Take a day off and suddenly, everything goes to shit. Okay, maybe not quite that bad. I got tied up and on the 13th unexpectedly (mostly) and so missed that day. I was adamant I was going to work out on the 14th. Even got dressed in my PT gear and could not get out the door before I ran out of daylight and had to go take my daughters to dinner and then to the Harry Potter premier at midnight. I got in some good grappling (No-Gi) on Friday the 15th.
Saturday the 16th I did the mainpage WoD from 5/11/11 - with a partner. I'm usually alone in my garage, so it was good to see how the ol' garage gym would handle two, as well as give me someone else to help push me. I've found that it doesn't matter what the other person is doing: scaling, falling behind, whatever - having someone else always helps add some element of compulsion that wouldn't be present if you were alone.
Workout: 5 rounds for time of-
5 x 135lb OHS
10 x Toes to Bar
15 x Hang Sqt Clean (with 40lb dumbbells)
20 Double-Unders
2:18, 3:32, 4:42, 4:33, 3:28 = 18:36 total
The key number in that whole workout is the time for the last round. I kept thinking it must be a problem with my watch - but it wasn't. That's simply the difference between having another person there and not having another person there. I never would have finished that last round in under 4 mins. If only there were an affiliate closer...
