Yesterday, I went ahead and did the hero WOD "Nutts." Some might be saying I'm 'nuts' for doing something like a hero wod so close to Regionals. I know my body, and if I take it too easy, I degrade in performance. I need to hit up challenging workouts in order to keep my body in tip-top. It was a burner that got my lungs going, but was not stressful on my muscles -- precisely what I wanted. I'm going into this weekend like I'm doing a regular few days of workouts. Sure, the atmosphere will be amazing, but the work I need to perform is the same. Given that I do best when I take on workouts like I do in my normal routine, this is how I'm approaching it. And yesterday helped me to take the edge off a bit.
WOD:
"Nutts"
For time:
10 HSPU
15 Deadlift (250 lb)
25 Box Jumps (30 in)
50 Pullups
100 Wall balls (20 lb, 10 feet)
200 Double Unders
Run 400 meters (with a 45 lb plate)
Result: 17:07
I didn't go at it full on 100% effort, but did give it 90% or so.
Tomorrow, May 27th, the CrossFit Games North Central Regional starts and I'm taking all of today off, doing some foam work, stretches, etc. Super excited to go to Chicago!
