Fitness - Christmas Day/ Local WOD - 12/25

Wow, what a beautiful day this was. Sunny but still on the cold side, super crisp and clear. As a Jewish man my family doesn't really do anything for Christmas except have an intimate dinner. This gave me a lot of time to kill during the day so I decided to go the the Local High School (which is also my alma mater), Juanita High, and get some work in. It was awesome, had the whole track and football field to myself.

I started with a lot of stretching and an easy 1 mile run around the track. Nothing big, I didn't want to push it here, I just tried to break a small sweat.

WOD: 10 rounds, un-timed
100m sprint, building up to max effort on last 4 rounds.
10 tuck jumps
3 muscle ups
20 walking lunges (10 each leg)

Score/Time: N/A
Calories burned: N/A

I forgot my heart rate monitor all together so not only could I time myself, I have no idea what the calorie burn on this workout was.

It was pretty sick being able to bring my rings with me and include them in my workout. It took about 1 minute to hook them up around the field goal crossbar and I was ready to rock with some muscle ups.

I was really loose after the mile run but still thought it best to build up to speed in the sprints. I started out at about 35% for the first two, then moved up to about 60-70%. And the last 4 were all out, 100% effort sprints.

This one took me a while, I was out on the field and track for a good chunk of time. It was kind of nice to roll through it at my own pace. At one point I could feel I was getting a little lax so I had to govern myself and get motivated reduce rest, step up the intensity, and finish that damn thing.

My legs felt pretty blasted and were a bit wobbly walking back to my car. Had fun out there though. I'm Loving my rings, I'm taking them with me wherever I go.
