Fitness-8/17-Recovery and Skills Chart

Monday WOD

This week marks a recovery phase as we completed our strength cycle last week and will move into a power cycle next week. Today we took extra time warming up and then went through some light effort skill work and a wod, un-timed. I finished the session with some work geared towards continuing to master levels 1 and 2 of the Skills (aka "Pursuit") Chart. The wod and the Pursuit chart work looked as follows:

3 rounds untimed of:
-10 recline pullups
-10 pushups
-10 abmat situps
-10 snatch balance, 45#

time=10:45ish

This was supposed to be un-timed but of course I put my watch to it anyways. My effort for the wod ranged from 50-75%.

After the wod, we recovered briefly and went after the 400m run afap. I had just tested the 400m run yesterday not knowing we would test it Monday but decided to run it again.

time=1:05

My time Sunday was 1:16. It's amazing how much faster you'll run when you have someone to chase and someone else on your heels. I was pretty pumped with this effort. I was frustrated at the same time as I only needed to shave off one more second to match the level 4 run category. Next time.

After the run, I finished with some more handstand work. I went for a max hold and hit 50 seconds today. A new pr, but still seemingly so far away from 1 minute. I'll keep at it. I finished with 10 seconds on/10 seconds off handstand holds for 10 rounds. I only made 6 before I failed. It was a solid day.
