Wednesday-Rest Day
Ahhh, a much needed rest day. I was only two hard days on but after some heavy deadlifts and tough overhead work yesterday and the "filthy" on Monday, rest is needed and justified. Not total rest though. Before I left work today, I threw on the shorts and got a sweat up. Worked my way through the CrossFit warm-up and then hit a easy 1k row and 8oom run. Was done in 20 min with all of it and felt very good after.
Then I coached an open gym session at Jogo which is always a treat. It was a pretty quiet day at the gym and I only had a couple people in my class but they gutted their way through a gnarly ab-wheel tabata. One gal in particular gave a gritty effort. She's been away from the gym for 3 weeks due to illness and life circumstance. She came back, Monday, to a lovely "welcome home" wod; the "Filthy Fifty." I think she was just about bed ridden the next day. And here she comes Wednesday, to what's usually a light day at Jogo, and ends up grinding her way through a very tough tabata. Got to give it up for her. And gotta give it up for all the ladies of CrossFit. There are some real fire-breathers out there. They're proving that not only can they hang with the fellas, often, they can beat us. Trust me, I wouldn't want to mess with some of 'em.
Check out this video montage of a fire-breather out there named Jeannie Bassi. She owns a CrossFit affiliate in Virginia and she is one bad-ass chick. She's sure to be a top competitor at this year's games.
