Fitness - Two-A-Day w/ vest, "Annie", WOD #1 & WOD #2 - 3/10

In an attempt to become a double under master, i'm coming in early and working in "Annie" (50, 40, 30, 20, 10 of double unders & sit ups) twice a week before my usual class. So far it's been good. Already my timing has improved and speed and coordination as well. Slowly but surely the "donkey kick" (as it's been dubed) is going away and i'm able to do them with straight legs. I still use way too much of my shoulders instead of wrists but that will get worked out eventually as well. I don't have a time for my "Angie" this morning because I must have hit a button on my watch and the timer stopped sometime during.

No focus before this morning's class, we just went over the movements in the WOD as a group to tighten up technique and whatnot.

WOD #1 w/ 10# vest: 60 seconds at each station, 60 seconds rest. 45 seconds at each station, 45 seconds rest. 30 seconds at each station, 30 seconds rest. 15 seconds at each station. Stations are as follows:
Wall Ball - 20#/10'
Hanging knees to elbows
Hang squat cleans - 62 Kg (135#)
Burpees

Score/Time: 189
Calories burned (including "Angie", Warm up & WOD): 588

WOD #2 w/ 10# vest:
2000m row
rest 5 minutes
100 burpees
rest 5 minutes
2000m row

Score/Time(s): 2000m row #1 - 7:14, 100 burpees - 6:11, 2000m row #2 - 7:38
Calories burned (including work and rest): 871

This was a pretty tough trio. I knew Dave was going to throw something pretty gnarly at me but this was not what I had in mind. The vest made all the difference. It sucks wearing that thing but I better get used to it. I'm supposed to wear it for all the my work in gym for the next 11 weeks of training.

When I got tired enough I splilt the burpees into sets of 10 then i'd stop for 5 deep breathes and continue with another set of 10.

The rowing was by far the worst part of it. I'd say the first row hurt a little more than the first, because I had more juice in the tank i pushed it harder than on the second one. The second row wasn't fun either though.

I might actaully take an ice back after all of today's work.
