Sprint-ish.

Some balmy weather cruising through Ohio (until tonight, when it drops 30 degrees), so it was nice to get outside in shorts and T for a sprint WOD. Or as my title says, sprint-ish.

Run: 6:00 of 100m sprints on 0:30, recover 3:00, 4:00 of 100m sprints on 0:30, recover 2:00, 2:00 of 100m sprints on 0:30.

Quick explanation, basically you have 30 seconds to complete 100M sprint. Whatever you finish ahead of that, you rest until the next one starts on the 30 second mark. That ain't much stoppage time.

mywrite: 6:00 - 12 sprints at between 22-25 seconds. Last six were closer to 25. 4:00 - 8 sprints at between 22 and 25 seconds. 2:00 - 4 sprints, 21, 21, 21, 20 seconds. Odd workout, but pleased with the finish. Nearly 1.5 miles total distance.

And then tonight, I did one of Crossfit's "girls," named Gwen from mainsite:

Clean & Jerk 15-12- and 9 reps
Touch and go at floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets.

This is one of those WODs that can be problematic - and injury-matic - if you're inexperienced or stupid or both. I'm either just smart enough, or just chickenshit enough that I kept the load light so even if I get out of whack, I could likely control it without getting hurt. Hopefully.

mywrite: 95 pound clean and jerk. I power cleaned throughout to give my groin a break. And this was tough on the legs regardless, would've been terrible squat cleaning, which I will do next time. Jerks were all split jerks. 4 minute breaks between sets. Was only stupid on a couple reps, though I'm sure I had some pretty nasty form issues near the end of rounds.
