Crossfit

Since returning stateside after Costa Rica and the completion of my Cleveland Yoga TT class, I've been back at Crossfit Distinction with a vengeance. It feel great to be back in the gym again. Not only do I love the challenge of the skills and WOD, it's a great community. Seriously, how can you not love walking in the door and having over a half a dozen people smile and wave hello to you. Awesome. Especially after a grueling day of greeting people who are not necessarily thrilled to see me in the ED.

So tonight, after jumping in my car at the hospital I sped only slightly illegally down 480 to Beechwood in time for the 6pm WOD.  Daminal was still cooling off from the 5pm group, while others were already in the midst of warming up. I quickly exchanged my Clark Kent scrubs for not-quite superwoman (but I can dream) workout clothes and joined the throngs.

WOD:
For time:
50 Double-unders
40 Abmat sit-ups
30 Medicine ball clean [20/14]
20 Box jumps [24/18]
10 Handstand Push-ups
20 Box jumps [24/18]
30 Medicine ball clean [20/14]
40 Abmat sit-ups
50 Double-unders

It actually went a lot faster than I was anticipating. I was really struggling with my double unders so ended up doing 3x singles cause it might have taken me an hour. The rest felt really solid. Although I need to use a pad for the HSPUs, it just felt great going upside down. The worst part was the second set of medicine ball cleans. Hello, gluts! Afterwards, JM and CW et al played around doing handstand walks. JM showed me how to do a one handed handstand against the wall, my new favorite "skill" to practice. 
All in all a great way to finish the day :)
