After 270 squats from Cindy on Tuesday and 250 squats from Barbara yesterday, my legs were tight and I was dreading this workout. I did, however meet my goal of beating 7:00 per mile average on two of three rounds. I came close on the last, but half way through my legs turned to rubbery jello. The adrenaline kicked in and finished pretty strong in the last 30 seconds of the last round.

You would think that three minutes rest between rounds is plenty of time…well, it hardly felt like it. I had enough time to walk around for a little bit, stretch, and then do some deep breathing to oxygenate my muscles for the next round. However, I hardly felt like I was “fully” recovered from the previous round.

The workout, from warm up to cool down, was complete in about 35 minutes. Again, Crossfit stays true to its name and results in a relatively quick workout that smokes you completely. On another note, I had to avoid the CF WOD today because of timing with family and professional life. Frankly, I enjoyed the rest. I think that if I'd have done today's WOD on top of the CFE WOD, my legs would have mutinied from the rest of my body.

Until tomorrow. 3-2-1… GO!
