Skill: Rope Climb
I had two climbs to the very top. In the past I've only gone up to the black tape (15 feet I think?) but as long as I didn't look down, I was able to go all the way to the top. Note to self - wear long socks next time. Even though I had long pants on, I still got a mean rope burn on the front of my ankle. It's not even shaped like anything cool.
Metcon:
"Cindy"
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats
I had 12 rounds + 5 pull-ups + 6 push-ups Rx which was a PR
I feel like I'm getting better with my pull-ups. Usually I am fatigued to the point where I'm only able to do one at time after a few rounds. This time I was able to string all 5 for several rounds and towards the end I was consistently stringing 3 and then 2, which is a big improvement for me!
I found that I tend to control my descent with negatives on the way down, rather than just let momentum pull me down. This time I let myself drop down more and was able to get a better kip at the bottom. I was also surprised that I didn't have any tears in my hands after doing 65 pull-ups.
Push-ups killed me. I did them all hand-release and that was definitely the hardest part of the workout for me.
Squats were fine.
Tonight I played soccer and the Cougars were victorious 3-2. We are currently in 2nd place. We were tied 2-2 in the second half and in the last 40 seconds, we scored a goal for the win! It was super fun, but tonight my back is killing me! I made it through the workout this morning no problem, but playing soccer was not a good thing for my back.
