This workout was a lot like the Christmas day workout I programmed for myself at the high school. Except this time, Dave was watching me and I had to make it back to the gym within time. So there was no sand bagging it. Also, all 10 of the sprints were max effort, not build ups like when it was just me at the high school.
WOD: Every 2 minutes on the minute, for 20 minutes (10 rounds)
10 box jumps - 34"
100m sprint
jog back to gym.
Score/Time: N/A
Calories burned (WOD only): 488
The 34 inch box jumps were a little crazy. It required a lot of explosiveness and it was impossible to get a rhythm and link them together (not to mention a little dangerous, I'm not trying to sprain my ankle or anything). Basically each box jump had to be taken one at a time, I'd have to hop off the box and re-set for each rep. Which took a lot of time and didn't leave much left for the sprint, jog back, and attempt to catch a few seconds rest before starting again.
I'm glad this morning's workout was on the lighter side, this one for sure hurt towards the end. The 2 minute time limit was gnarly and and put a whole different dynamic on the WOD. I don't know how Dave comes up with it, but the stuff he's been programming for me has been challenging on every level.
