Fitness - Handstand Work & "Jackie" - 1/7

I got much more sleep last night which felt great. I fell right to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Not sure what happened the other night when was rolling around wide awake. But I'm glad it didn't happen last night.

I did wake up super sore this morning though. I was nervous to take on "Jackie" this morning.

Focus: Handstand Work
We started out with a long warm up and some handstand work. Since we only have 5 row machines, the class went in waves. The people that weren't going through Jackie were supposed to be doing handstand work to keep warm.

WOD: "Jackie"
1000m row
50 thrusters - men's bar, 20 Kg (45#)
30 pull ups - chest to bar

Score/Time: 6:26
Calories burned (Focus & WOD): 572

Uhhh, this was absolutely brutal. I got my goal (which was sub 6:30) but I'm capable of faster. I got off the rower at 3:28, finished the thrusters unbroken at 5:10, I took them slow and steady, but got them unbroken. I had a chance a sub 6 time and hopped on he pull up bar. I started out with butterfly kips and rocked through 12 or 13 of them, then I lost my pull. I had to switch to regular kipping pull ups and could only get 3 or 4 at a time.

I'm really stoked on my time. I was spent afterwards though, felt like I was going to vom for a solid 7 minutes and my heart rate took a while to settle down. Having just done a two-a-day the day before, and it being so late in the week, i feel like I can bring my time down on a fresh set of legs early in the week.

I loved Jackie and I am proud of my time, but I will be happy not to see her again on the white board any time soon.
