Wednesday September 24, 2008 - I Knew Today Was Going To Be A Good Day

I woke up this morning at 7am, since I am working from home and felt great. I got a good night sleep and knew that I only had a half day of work. I am going to Boston this afternoon for the Boston Red Sox v. Cleveland Indians and can't wait, so the adrenaline was flowing this morning. I get back early tomorrow morning my rest day.

I got to the 9am class early and got a chance to talk to Jack about the WOD and saw that he scored a 20:21. Not much more to say but I wanted to get sub 20 min before I even saw the WOD. Here it is:

400m run
35 AbMat Situps
30 Wall Ball 20#
400m run
35 AbMat Situps
30 Box Jumps (26-27")
400m run
35 AbMat Situps
30 Burpees
400m run
35 AbMat Situps
30 Calories - Rowing

I immediatley knew the transitions were going to be key and actually ended up running without tying my shoes the last two 400m. Jerry said 3-2-1 Go and I was out the gate, I truly sprinted that first 400m. I knew box jumps and rowing may slow me down but knew I had to go super hard! I was half way through (finished the 30 box jumps just under 9 min). The 400m runs felt good and I knew I was really pushing myself. I headed up stairs for the last round and knew I had to knock out the abmats and got up to the rower with 17:00 on the clock. Ok, so I know I am not a good rower but knew I had to just get 30 calories in 3 minutes to reach my goal. I tried to use my hips as much as possible and am not sure if I could have rowed any harder. I called time and looked up to get 19:25! Feel great! A great start to the day and hope this feeling carries throughout the day and at the game tonight! Go Tribe!
