Fitness - WOD (#2) - 12/02

I walked in ready for my second workout of the day but not knowing what to expect. My legs felt a little fatigued but that's nothing new. I took a lot of time to warm up by myself and stretched out a lot. Then Dave came over and let me know what I was in for.

WOD: 3 rounds for time of:
1000m row
50 dips

Score/Time: 24:42
Calories burned (warm up & WOD): 816

I really had no idea what my time would be. I've never done dips like this before and we all know hoe much i love rowing. Dave said that if I could keep a 1:45/500m pace on the rower, that would be a good pace throughout the WOD. I kept that no problem the first round and the dips didn't slow me down much either. I finished the first round right at the 6 minute mark.

The second round I took a lot of effort to stay around the 1:45/500m pace. I started out strong at about 700m started to slow a bit. the second round of dips was terrible. As soon as I got on the dip rack I felt like I was going to vom. I got that pit in my stomach and was sucking wind pretty hard. Still I managed to push through and was getting 6-7 dips at a time before having to rest and shake it out.

The third row my legs hit the wall at 300m and it felt like I was trying to drag a boat through sand. I finished that round of rowing with my pace at 2:06/500m. I staggered off the rower to my dip rack and saw the end in sight. I got through 15 or 20 dips and then my shoulders, triceps and upper back hit the wall. I could only get 2 or 3 dips before having to rest and shake it out.

A lot of work done today and I'm super excited to keep up this pace in my training. My next two-a-day will be Saturday. It will include both the Level 2 skills class and the Level 2 Met-Con class. I feel pretty beat up already and plan to go in tomorrow but just do everything really slow and light to get some active rest.
