Daniel/Triplet

The past three days have been tough. When game day is your day off you know fatigue is not far behind. Thursday was another WOD morning. Jonny Tink and I completed a modified Daniel:

50 Pullups 
Row 400m
21 Thrusters
Row 500m
21 Thrusters 
Row 400m
50 Pullups

This WOD kicked us in the butt from the start, 50 pullups is tough by itself and that led us right into the rest. The felling shredded forearms and wobbly legs was the final product and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Saturday morning was a rude awakening. After a tough 1-0 Wheaton College victory against UW-Platteville, the trip home was about 3 hours which put us home around 1:30am and quick to bed for a 5 mile team run at 8:30am. After a good paced run and a big kick to finish, I met up with Kopion CrossFit to join them in 2 of their 3 morning WODs. The first was 7RFT of 10 wall ball (20#) and 10 pullups. I finished in 7:25 and struggled a bit with form and rhythm but its all part of improving. The second WOD of the morning was 10-1 of Thrusters and SDH. This was a grinder and I had to tell myself that the more I worked the easier it got. After pounding out every rep, the lower back legs and shoulders were ready to call it a day. That was all she wrote for Saturday and good breakfast and nap followed not long after.
