Training Thurs April 8

I always like when crossfit workouts recur. It gives me a chance to gauge my improvements in fitness and gives me targets to beat. I scheduled "Road Runner" for today, a workout that we've done twice before at CrossFit Zone but that I had not yet done. I knew it would be a good one to test myself with as some of the guys who had done it before had put up some pretty good times.

I decided to try my new New Balance shoes out... they're much lighter than my Adidas trail shoes plus the Adi's are showing significant wear. My right calf has been giving me trouble when I run and row so maybe a change in shoes will help?

Anyhow, here's what went down:

Road Runner:
Run 800m
30 sumo deadlift high pulls (sdhp) @ 95lb
run 400m
20 sdhp
run 200
10 sdhp

I ran the first 800 a little too easy, came in at 2:45 or so, with my PB on the street course being 2:30. Aside from that, hit it all pretty hard, found the anger on the second round of sdhp's, started throwing the bar around, good times.

Finish time: 7:38, all time rank - #1 as seen on www.myfrantime.com ... short but sweet, good lung burn and arm pump

Felt good to put up a good time, sub 6:45 is definitely possible though - target for next time!
