Sunday Fun

CROSSFIT

We don't normally go to the CF gym on Sundays, but Greg wanted to redo the games 11.3 workout so we skipped last day of skiing at Bogus and headed to the gym. Thankfully there was a fun WOD planned! It was:

21 Knees-to-Elbows
3 Box Jumps (20″)
18 Knees-to-Elbows
6 Box Jumps
15 Knees-to-Elbows
9 Box Jumps
12 Knees-to-Elbows
12 Box Jumps
9 Knees-to-Elbows
15 Box Jumps
6 Knees-to-Elbows
18 Box Jumps
3 Knees-to-Elbows
21 Box Jumps

On the box jump, start from on top of the box. No waiting or gathering on the ground. Athlete must land and spring back up on top of the box. One repetition is jumping off the top of the box and bounding back up on top of the box. Step-ups are not counted.

I absolutely loved this workout!! It was my first workout where I was connecting my kipping Knees to elbows; and the first time I rebounded onto a 20" box - and first time where my rest was on top of the box, not the bottom. I loved this because I don't work on rebounding, and I certainly haven't tried it on a 20" box. It's not as hard as I thought, though I am a little clumsy with my movement. I'm really looking forward to implementing these rebounding box jumps into all my box jump workouts!

Oh...this WOD took me like 11-something.

RUN

In the afternoon I took a nice leisurely run - the Hulls Gulch loop. I really concentrated on having fun, but also running in proper form and maintaining good speed.
