Today I did Nancy. (My wife scowls.) As previously noted, many Crossfit workouts are named after girls. I should name one after my wife, Lisa. I'll have to think on this awhile to come up with a workout that matches her personality.
Anyway, Nancy: 5 rounds for time of
Run 400 meters
15 Overhead Squats, 95 lbs.
My time: 22:02. I was hoping for better. In fact, I had imagined a sub 15 min workout. But the squats were much harder than I anticipated after running 400 m.
After Nancy, I got to use my new rope. (Cue Angelic chorus.) I felt like an eight year old on Christmas morning. The rope is hanging 15 feet up. I did 5 ascents in 4 minutes. Rope climbing is deceptively difficult. It also exhausts your entire body unless you're actually strong enough to climb without using your legs. I'm not that strong.
I had hoped to do a hero WOD yesterday in honor of 9/11. But my body just wasn't up to it. I did a shortened Murph as best I could. Run 1 mile, 6 rounds of 10 pullups, 20 pushups, 30 squats, run 1 mile.
At this point, I've done thirteen named workouts. There are 57 on the list. Forty four to go.
