Tough cycle

3/24/2009
WOD
5 rounds for time
Press .75BW 12 reps
Squat 12 reps
Lunges 12 steps

DNF
3 full rounds and 11 presses into 4

This was a very humbling workout. I started with .75BW which was 120 (my 4RM). And wouldn't you know I got 4 reps and had to drop weight. I think the progression went 120 (4), 110(?), 103, 98. My shoulders were shot, but my legs were fine, weird.

3/25/2009
WOD
7 RFT
15 Med ball cleans (20)
15 Pull-ups

11:31

Didn't to chest to bar, but I would have if I had known that is what everyone else was planning on doing that day. I got a pretty good blood blister on my left hand which is a bit unusual for me lately, but I guess we haven't done pull-ups for a while. I was able to do all cleans unbroken and only broke the pull-ups in 8,7 after the first two or three rounds.

3/26/2009
WOD
250 meter row in 50 seconds x8 (rounds over 50 do not count)
1:30 rest between rounds

48.5, 49.?, 50.3, 50.4, 50.7, 50.9, 51.4, 54.4,(rested for a few minutes), 50.3, 50.4

My legs were on fire during this one. Also, I have been fighting a cough, so I had to deal with that. Happy that I was held accountable to make up the rounds over 50 (I just hope that I don't owe another 2-6 rounds depending on technicality).

It has been a rough week or so for me. I've been getting 5-6 hours of sleep and have really been suffering from that. I try to get at least eight hours a night, but I can;t seem to fall asleep for hours. It's not fun. Also, this crud in my lungs doesn't help. My diet has been fairly good except for the occasional Girl Scout cookie, so maybe that's what's getting me, too much processed sugar? Who knows. Hopefully this rest day will get me back on track and ready to hit it hard on Saturday.
