CrossFit, 8 August 2011, 12:30 PM

Warm-up:  500 m. rows in 2:14 minutes.  Slowly getting there...

WOD: 

• 60 cleans in 20 minutes
• with three burpees every odd minute
• and six sit-ups every even minute

Rx for women was 95 lbs.  I couldn't even lift 60.  I would have gone with 45 except that all the lighter bars were taken, and only the 45-lb. bar was left which meant I couldn't put any plates on it so that I couldn't do a clean properly.

Option was sumo deadlift high-pulls, but instead of doing 60 reps, I had to do 90.

I started out with the 24-kilo kettlebell (52.8 lbs.) and did 30 reps, then went down to 16 kilos.  On hindsight, I should have stuck to the 24 kilos (35.2 kilos) even if it was killing me as everyone else was struggling with their barbells till the bitter end.  Or I should have done 45-60 reps with it before pyramiding down.  As it was, I finished too soon.  7:14 minutes.

To make up for it, I did more sumo deadlift highpulls with the 24-kilo kettlebell and more sit-ups.
