Yes, Nineteen.  Remember that whole removing old posts things.  Well, its been nineteen times I been to Crossfit and wow today was BRUTAL.  Here is was:

Work out of the Day (WOD)
Warmups:
10 PVC thrusters
10 Over head PVC squats
10 pullups
10 PVC Cleans
stretching
WOD:
4 Rounds:
400 meter row machine
30 medicine ball cleans 16lbs
20 push ups

Time finished: 40:02 minutes

It didn’t sound so bad until I started.  Oh momma my hips are feeling like they are jello, cherry flavor.  I kick butt in rowing and was O.K. with the push ups.  But those cleans are what got me in and wow was I last place today.  I felt like the black rimmed glass nerdy fat kid in gym class that gets picked last in dodgeball.  Wait, was I that guy??…(checking brain)…I…don’t think…so?  By round 3, I got about 5 to 6 cleans in when I had to stop to breathe.  That the problem with this, I can do all the WODs in problem, just my chest doesn’t cooperate.  Chop this up to missing Mondays training and having to learn to breathe more effectively.

And yes, my wife beat me by 7 minutes.  Damn her!  My brother and sister-in-laws were there and I won’t even say what those freaks of nature did.
