The Sonny and Cher song has been going through my head today.
So no residual pain from the run the other night. Still sore in the legs though better than I was for sure.
Last night's WOD was 5 sets of 7 reps of thrusters. Results were 95,115,105,95,95. Really felt every rep, but was glad it was a short one.
Tonight's WOD was 21, 15, 9 reps of 35lb. kettlebells (used a dumbbell), half body weight squats (used 95lbs. because I was too lazy to try and figure out what 87.5lbs would be), burpees for time. I was reading Erica's blog and she used the word loathe to describe her feelings towards burpees. I wholeheartily agree. Finished this workout in 7:28.
Then went immediately to do my 700 yard swim time trial. Who knew you needed to be able to use your shoulders to swim. I could barely lift my arms and finished in 16:52. I think this is a new level of slowness for me, but I believe it is directly attributed to the workouts the past 2 days.
I agree w/your analysis of your swim - your arms were beat and I am glad you did not skip the swim - it easy to skip the short ones for sure.
ReplyDeleteI don't the mechanics of it but swimming is really stressful on the shoulder. After I had my shoulder surgery I was told not to do any kind of swimming for a year afterwards.
ReplyDeleteMy shoulders were really burning during yesterday's swim so you definately get a lot of your power there - not surprising that you didn't have your best swim.
ReplyDeleteI am experiencing the same beat down as you Dan!
ReplyDeleteMy legs are toast tonight. And, I still have to get that 13.1 mile run done... :O
