SFG WOD 100901 -- pull ups

This was the worst workout I can remember. I'm glad I went, but I should have sat this one out. I was running on 4 hours of sleep and 4 hits of Benadryl.

Max dead hang pull ups: 13

4 rounds of:
  • handstand wall walks
  • 10 ring dips
  • 10 ring push ups
  • 10 pistols right leg
  • 10 pistols left leg
My left leg is weaker than my right. I knocked out the right leg pistols unbroken but needed breaks for the left.

In 6 minutes, AMRAP:
  • 10 thrusters (95 lbs)
  • 10 pull ups
My result: 3

After the first round of thrusters my heart started racing and beating irregularly. I actually broke and rested after the first 10 reps which I have never done before. I forced myself through 2 rounds then called it quits. I was running on empty and it was no time to be a hero.

Anyway, the best response to this kind of workout is forgetting it and resting up for the next one.

Coming off the long, brutal rugby season, I'm not going to be too hard on myself. But it's time to get back in gear and start hitting PRs. My strength is way down from peak.
