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.
