Fitness - WOD 8/17

I took Saturday & Sunday off as rest days and woke up this morning feeling awesome! Despite a pretty spotty weekend as far as nutrition goes, I felt fresh, fully recovered and ready to take on this morning's WOD. I guess Dave sensed the same voracity in me because he had me scale up today's WOD.

Rx WOD: 10 rounds for time of:
200m run
10 dumbbell push press
10 jumping pull ups (these are where you're standing on a box holding onto the bar and you jump/pull yourself up. It's a version of an assisted pull up).

My WOD - 10 rounds for time of:
200m run
5 unassisted handstand push ups
10 unassisted pull ups - chest to bar

Time: 16:25
Calories burned (WOD only) - 537

I totally burned this one up and am extremely pleased with my performance. Instead of pacing myself I took off hard and pushed as hard as I could through the entire WOD. My first 3 200's were blistering then the HSPU's and pull ups started taking their toll on my shoulders/back, which impeded my running a little bit. On the last few rounds my arms felt super heavy and the 200m runs were challenging.

I kept it going non-stop though, taking only one breath after the run before starting on the HSPU's. I never broke on the HSPU's either, getting all 5 at a time every round. They were extremely tough the last 4 rounds but I felt really strong and pushed through them. Same with the 10 pull ups, 10 unbroken every round.

A couple guys in the class before me had scaled up the WOD to HSPU's and regular pull ups as well, but had to use a band for assisted HSPU's after a few rounds. The next fasted time compared to mine was 20 minutes flat, 3.5 minutes slower then what I put up.

I will say this, although I crushed this one, today was the closest I've come to throwing up during a WOD since I've been at CrossFit Seattle. If I had something in my stomach, it most likely would have come up. I really pushed myself this morning & it was a great start to the week.
