2/15/09 WOD

CrossFit WOD
3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
21 Burpees
Run 400 meters

Rick's WOD
As Rx'd - 19:50

What a workout. My lungs burned the entire 20 minutes. I thought this was the day I was going to meet pukie. This was also my first outdoor run in 6 months. I tried to follow the Pose method of running, but my form was sloppy. I really focused on running on my toes and keeping my legs underneath me.

I've been following a paleo style diet since the first of the year. To date I have lost 9 pounds. Not only have I lost the weight, but my weight has stabalized. Prior to following this type of eating, I had fluctuations of weight up to 4 pounds from day to day. Now the fluctuations are never more than one pound. I feel better and can see my body transformation as I become leaner. Also, I do not get the cravings for food, that I would get when eating carbs.

  1. Great time Rick. I felt pretty good with mine. How long were you on the rower each time approx? I imagine that machine is quite a bit different than a stationary bike.

  2. My rower times were approximately 2:15. The big difference is you are trying to finish the distance in as little time as possible. For me, I push myself harder than if I am riding for a specified amount time. If you and Toby ever want to use the rower, you are more than welcom.
