Yesterday I went to the 5:30am Crossfit class and had one of those "inside out" moments. It had been a while.
Inside out is that point in a cf workout or interval session when your brain tells you that you really really need to stop. Just for a second. Just to regroup. That if you dont stop right then something is going to go wrong. And you keep going anyway. To me, it is the goal of every cf workout to chase that experience.
Wods were: 40 overhead squats (30@65, 10@95) 30 Bsq at 125 20 front squats at 125. The lifting shoes move the load from quads to glutes. I felt much more stable in the front squats. I need to do some mobility work somewhere because it is hard to get set and balanced in the overhead squat.
The next Wod was where the inside out moment came. It was 4 rounds for total reps of 30 seconds work/30 seconds rest. We did wall balls, 95lb push press and double unders. In either round 3 or 4 I really needed to drop the bar during the push press. I had almost failed the rep before and wanted a rest really bad. But I went for one more. It wasn't anything huge but it is that pushing of my own perceived boundaries that this thing is all about.
In the veining it was time trial run time. 3mi for time. Took 24 min. Which is pretty slow. About 3 min off of pr. But, I know that I went at it as hard as I could. And that is what matters. Last season, I would run in the morning then Wod later. This season I am going to flip that. Which will mean that I won't be running fresh but that might be good. We will find out in feb.
I got my bike back last night. It looks fast! But it is begging for new wheels. I am trying to ignore it...
