Crossfit Journal: July 6th, 2011
For the past week, I have been going to a local CrossFit gym, Crossf it Connection. Crossfit is a special kind of gym, mainly using high-intensity Olympic lifting, and multiple other intense regiments. During the summer, I will be keeping a digital journal, which will be distrubuited through Silent Echo. Today was my second visit in a long while, and the WOD (workout of the day) kicked my ass (Crossfit kicks your ass, no matter how fit you are).
The WOD consisted of two parts: Part One was we had10 minutes to find your one-rep clean and jerk max. My max was found to 70 lbs. Part Two is the one that kicked my ass: It was 10 rounds, and we had to do one rep of our 85% max (60 lbs.), then we had to do a 200 meter run. We do that 10 times. As with all CrossFit WODS, it was very difficult, but the end was satisfying. The WOD took me 18 minutes.
I will keep up the journal throughout the summer. Hope you keep reading, and maybe you to, will start working at your local CrossFit.
