Thursday Night at Element Crossfit

The original plan was to go to Element Crossfit, do the WOD, and then drive over to Kula for a hot yoga class. I got half of that done...

Arriving at Element Crossfit, I realised that there was also a Holiday gathering happening. Some people who have completed their workout were already digging into the snacks that were laid out on the table. I thought I would be doing the workout alone until I realised that there were other people that still had to workout. I was trying to decide whether or not to do another WOD because my shoulders were a bit sore from the previous night. Eventually, Rachel settled the debate and had me do the current night's workout.
Max Rounds in 3 minutes of:
3 Clean & Jerks 135#/95# (done at 42#)
5 Chest-to-Bar Pullups
7 Box Jumps 20"/16"

Rest 1 minute. Repeat for a total of 3 cycles.
My result was 6 complete rounds with unfinished rounds in each cycle. I was feeling like a klutz when I was trying to get my foot into the elastics for the pullups and had to get assistance but it all worked out.

After the workout, I hung around and snacked on some of the goodies while chatting with a couple people before heading home.

Am I feeling it today? Physically? You bet I am feeling it! Mentally? I am also feeling so much stronger. If anyone ever told me a few years ago that I would transcend and run all these crazy distances for hours and hours at a time, I would have probably given them the look and say "whatever". It is amazing what one can do when the will and the belief are there...

As the year draws closer to the end, I can't help but reflect... More on that to come...
