4x800m run
Today was horrible. My mind was NOT in the game. I blame a long weekend of partying and eating which led to absolute dehydration. I weighed in a 172.6 which is considerably less than my average of late.
My first 800m was decent, I ran a 2:41. I didn't have anything left after that, and it was all I could do to maintain a stride. The remaining 3 rounds were all between 3:00 and 3:40. Pathetic.
I aim to redo this WOD by the end of the week.

Meltdown
There's just nothing worse in life than disappointment, ESPECIALLY when you have let yourself down. During today's WOD I did just that. Behold:
"The Filthy Fifty"
50 Box Jumps
50 Jumping Pull-Ups
50 Kettlebell Swings, 1 Pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees-to-Elbows
50 Push-Press, 45#
50 Back Extensions
50 Wall-Ball, 20# Ball
50 Burpees
50 Double Unders
My time was a shameful 29:50 and I have been absolutely disgusted with myself all day. My major time challenges were 1.) knees-to-elbows where I kept losing my grip 2.) wall-balls where I plain gassed out/lost mechanics and 3.) burpees where I started feeling sorry for myself. All this was exacerbated by the fact that it was 80 degrees and 80% humidity. I actually lost 2lbs of water weight during this WOD. That's nearly 1L in less than 30min.
I'm not sure why I feel so frustrated about my performace today, normally I'd just chalk it up to being a new CrossFitter and the fact that it was my first time to do the Filthy Fifty. I suppose I feel that I was well rested, well fed, and ready for the challenge but didn't get near the result I feel I should have. I could blame it on the weather or on the first attempt... but I to blame myself and carry it until the next time the Fifty and I meet.
Weight:172.0... 174.0 after rehydrating
