I got her, I wouldn't say that I owned her, but I got her. I completed this workout. Every round, every rep, Rx'd. I'm extremely proud of myself. This was a long grinder of a workout and I saw studs from the earlier class taking rounds off to rest, or scaling down the pull ups and/or push ups.
WOD: "Chelsea" - EMOTM (every minute on the minute) for 30 minutes of:
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 air squats
Score/Time: N/A
Calories burned (WOD only, no focus today): 803
That's 150 pull ups, 300 push ups and 450 squats. I'd say that 90% of my pull ups were chest to bar. I did them all with the butterfly kip and a few times my rhythm got off and I didn't quite get the height.
The steaks are always higher when it's a staple WOD. My body felt good, my mind was right and I was both nervous and ready to seriously get after this one.
When I first started CrossFit the thought of this workout scared me. Luckily I didn't have to battle Chelsea until now, where I've developed the strength, endurance and work capacity to handle it. It's so simple, but oh so hard.
I've got another workout this afternoon and I'm betting it won't contain pull ups, push ups or air squats.
