Getting stronger

This week was my best Crossfit week thus far, and I have tacked on a third workout for each week starting today. On Wednesday I felt really good. The WOD consisted of 1000 meter row, 50 squat thrusters with the bar (can't wait till I'm strong enough to be adding weight) and 30 pull-ups. I discovered that a) I still do not have the rhythm of the kipping pull-up down, but I am getting better because the first 15 were looking good and unbroken. By the time I was to start the second set of 15, I was tired and flailing like a fish all over the place b) 50 squatting thrusters are really not that bad and c) so far my strength is on the row machine. My total time for "Jackie" (modified) was 12:03, coach Meg put my time on the board and I noticed one thing: I had beaten FOUR people. While they may not be a fair comparison because my WOD was modified for me, I still felt phenomenal about it. Top of the world. Three weeks ago after the filthy 30 I was crippled.
Also, coach Meg has decided to open her own Crossfit box and leave the Teton Sports Club, so now I do not have to rush clear across town just to get to the workout on time. I am thrilled, plus so far, I am the only one signed up for the 4:15 slot. It is like I have my very own personal trainer 3 times a week...at least till the empty slots fill up which probably won't be long. So, I am enjoying it while I got it. Coach Meg had me register through WODHUB online which tracks all of the stats and WODs. This may be a blessing and a curse because on my lunch break today I was checking out the website and notice today's WOD. I am SCARED!
"Angie":
100 pull-ups
100 push-ups
100 sit-ups
100 squats for time. NO MERCY!!! I'll let you know how I do in about three hours. My stomach is turning!!
Until next time...
