Brie Fit

Today I FINALLY did a double under.

I confess, I didn’t really take today’s WOD seriously.

Since that’s light, it was a 20 minute AMRAP of:

• 50 double unders (or 25 attempts)
• Max reps pull-ups (without coming off the bar)
• 6 burpees

Your “score” was your total number of pull-ups in 20 minutes.

I kind of saw this and was like, “Today, I will get one double under, and eff the rest of the workout.”  I mean, I did it, but I was not super awesome at it.

I have been doing CrossFit for five months now and have NEVER done a double under.  Part of the problem is that I’m short and I think the ropes are too long, but the other part of the problem is I am not great at hand-eye coordination. 

Anyway.  During the WOD, I successfully did not one, but two double unders!  They weren’t consecutive, of course, but I did them and that’s what matters.

After the WOD, we did one minute each of sit-ups, push-ups, and squats.

My final totals were 22 pull-ups during the WOD, 40 sit-ups in a minute, 36 push-ups (knees), and 43 air squats.  Not too bad!

Anyway, I’m glad I proved to myself  that I can, in fact, do them.  Now I need to work on stringing them together, which I’m sure is a whole different battle.

I’m still working on the whole fertility diet thing as prescribed my my acupuncturist.  I’m not used to saying no altogether to certain foods, since I’m more of an “everything in moderation” person.  It kind of sucks, but if we get a healthy baby out of the deal, bring it on!

Is it Friday yet?
