SWOD: 5 Banded Sprints x Length of Mat (hold for partner during rest period)
Metcon: "Kayak Ken"
For time:
-1000m Row
-50 Burpees
-1000m Row
This workout destroyed me! I was coming off a week of indulgent eating and no exercising after traveling to Utah over the weekend to attend a freshman year reunion at my Alma mater, BYU. I had to visit all of my old favorite eating spots and I believe I gained that dreaded "freshman 15" in the short time I was there. But back to the workout:
The 5 banded sprints actually turned into 10. I did one forward sprint the length of the mat and then 1 backwards sprint back to the start, repeated 5 times. When we finished, I felt like we had done enough to consist of a full workout for the day. But wait...there was more...
"Kayak Ken"
The first row I completed in 4:00. To go from that to 50 burpees was really tough. I couldn't catch my breath, so I had to keep stopping to try to obtain oxygen. All the while I was thinking that there was no way in hell I was going to make it back on to that rowing machine for another 1000m.
Well I made it back onto the machine, and thanks to Erica who helped pace me and push me with a couple of sprints, I was able to complete my last 1000m in 4:30. I then literally crawled off of the machine and collapsed onto the floor, just like the two guys that had finished the workout before me. It was just one of those kind of days.
I completed the whole workout in 16:?? Remember the lack of oxygen I referred to? Well that affects memory, and I just could not remember my exact time. All I know is that I finished and today that's all that really matters.
