Crossfit's LSD.

This is the post where Merrill finally realizes with incredible clarity just how amazingly boring his training life has become.

Today, I did one of Crossfit's "hero" WODs from the mainsite, and like many of these, it was a bit of a  slog - for me, anyway - and could be classified as Crossfit's version of Long, Slow Distance training. Which was still roughly 10 to 15 times more fun than Merrill's 7 miles on a track or treadmill or whatever it is. That just sounds horrible.

"Hamilton"
Three rounds for time of:
Row 1000 meters
50 Push-ups
Run 1000 meters
50 Pull-ups

mywrite: 36:43. I scaled the push-ups and pull-ups to 25 and 20 per round, respectively, otherwise it would've been LSD that never ended. Also, I wanted to try to go unbroken, which I did throughout (insert Merrill's cheating pull-ups joke here, but I'd love to see him attempt our strict push-ups). Definitely long, and knew that going in so I didn't end up pushing all that hard except for pushups/pullups. But I was sort of in the mood for this, so it was pretty enjoyable.

Yesterday, I hit the CFE long interval WOD, which didn't go quite as well as I'd hoped.

4:27, 4:10, 4:12, 4:11. The first round was part of my warmup. I didn't like this distance, mainly because I didn't take the time to figure out what I should be at in relation to a 6-ish minute mile. Turns out these times are roughly 6:45/mile pace. Also, I thought I felt better going into this than how it turned out, I could've easily bailed after two rounds, but didn't think that would be a very useful day.
