MaryStella's Triathlon training crossfit endurance

[MaryStella]

thanks guys! the sunburn is getting better but still hasn't gone away. I like the twice a day formula because it allows me to keep the intensity up for both workouts.

 

6am

10 minutes on c2 - rowed 1900 meters

10 minutes on stair climber - 55 floors - 1.15 miles

10 minutes on c 2 - rowed 1858 meters

 

6pm CF WOD - "Eva"

 

5 rounds for time of:

 

Run 800 meters

30 kettlebell swings at 35 lbs

30 pullups (on rings)

 

Time: 46:48

 

Our course is over an 800 and it has a slight hill. The worst part of this WOD was the pullups for sure.

7.2.9

 

been really busy and tired lately, hoping to catch up on things over the weekend. I was really sore when I woke up this morning. I did get a run in but it was more of a recovery pace.

 

6am - Run 5k

 

5 pm - CF WOD - "Who needs enemies?"

 

This was a really fun workout, you do it with a partner. The key is that someone must always be holding a plate overhead. it is falls you incur a foul for each time it falls. We only used a ten pound plate because of my shoulder being torn and needing surgery and my partner Kevin already having shoulder surgery. normally a 25lb plate is used.

 

The level We completed was "drinking buddies"

 

There is a 30 minute cap. If you do not complete the exercise by then a foul is incurred. any order or breakup of the exercises is acceptable.

 

800 ft walking lunges (kev completed all of these. thank u kev!)

 

1.5 miles ( i did all of the running half of it with a plate overhead, kev and i kept switching off the plate while he was completing the lunges. Carrying the plate overhead really slowed down my running pace)

 

200 situps - i did 150 of these while kev held the plate and he did 50 while i held the plate

 

70 - 14 lb medicine ball cleans - not sure of the division on this one - we just kept switching out whenever the plate overhead got too heavy

 

15 - 45 lb push presses - kevin did all of these while I help the plate.

 

my shoulder isn't feeling the greatest after this one but my surgery is coming up soon.

[EliteDad]

Very nice Mary!!! Keep up the great work!!!! You are really awesome!!

[lobsteriffic]

sounds like a killer workout!

 

I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a used waffle maker so I too can try the pb waffle goodness....

[MaryStella]

thanks! I appreciate the nice comments.

 

@lobsterrific - While the PB waffles were tasty they were way too heavy for me liking. Another friend of mine made them and we agreed on that point. I actually enjoyed the cornbread ones I made more. I would make them again but they won't be my fav. I do hope you find a wafflemaker though they are fun!

 

7.3.9

 

was sore and tired again this morning but

 

6am - C2 - Row 5 minutes - 900 meters

Run Stairs - 20 minutes - 99 floors 2.07 miles

c2 - row 5 meters 900 meters

took a walk at a riverfront park that just opened near my place. it was very nice.

[lobsteriffic]

Good to know. Did you have the cornbread ones as savory or sweet? Savory waffles never even occurred to me until I read VB and saw her recipes...

[MaryStella]

@lobsteriffic - i had them as sweet. but I think they would be good both ways.

 

forgot to post my meals for yesterday I have been so tired when posting lately

7.3.9 meals

banana

vega wfo w/ hemp milk and coconut water

peanuts

grapes

nectarines

mango pineapple smoothie w/vega si

sloppy tempeh w/ezekiel wrap

lemon pepper tofu over leaf lettuce salad

 

7.4.9

one of the most fun cf wod's i've done yet.

 

"united we squat"

 

for time as a team complete

 

Flag Run - 2 laps

Squat Jumps - 200 ft

Farmer's Walk w/25 or 45 lb plates in each hand

Bench Press 20 reps at BW

Row - 500 meters

Plyo Jumps at 24"

Sidewinders - 1 lap

Pullups 30

Wallballs 20

Pushups 30

Plank 120 seconds

Dips 20

Bicycles 50

 

this workload gets multiplied but the number of people on your team. (ex. if you have four people on the team you need to do 8 laps, 100 bicycles etc.) each participant picks their best two events. Only to find out they can not participate in those events. Teams are given two minutes to talk strategy.

 

I did this WOD twice today with two different teams

 

time #1 - 33:00

time #2 - 27:30

 

I didn't complete every event of this exercise as we were doing it as a team but with doing it twice it is hard for me to remember how much of the workload I carried. It was a fun time though.

7.6.9

 

had a hard time waking up this morning and was pretty tired most of the morning. Not really sure why. did a workout this morning but it wasn't up to my normal standards. i was just so tired I couldn't get moving. I was also pretty hungry this morning. not sure if it is related.

 

did 10 minutes on the c 2 rower then 15 minutes on the stairs. pace was slower than normal.

 

Felt much better for CF in the evening

3 rounds for time of

 

85 lb back squat - 30 reps

Time 30:56

 

 

Warmup was 10 - 85lb back squats, 1/2 mile jog, 5 aussie pullups

cooldown jog 400 meters, walk 400 meters

 

also did my usual shoulder stability circuit and many situps on an ab ball. I lost count so many times as I was chatting it up that I am not even going to guess how many I really did. I hurt my injured shoulder a bit trying to rack my squat bar when I was tired after one of the rounds.

warmup - 1/2 mile jog

 

90 seconds on - 90 secs off x 6 rounds

felt a little sick afterwards. intervals always make me feel sick though.

 

cooldown - 1/2 mile jog

Felt really sick after this one. Headache, dizzy, nauseated for awhile afterwards. not really sure why.

 

I am going to NAVS vegetarian summerfest tomorrow so I really need to go pack ( I HATE IT!). Won't be back until sunday. Internet access is funny there so I don't know if I will be online until I get back. But I will be eating some delicious vegan food (that i don't have to prepare) and I plan on taking some strength and conditioning circuit classes and boot camp with john pierre.

Maybe you're in a different frame of mind when you're packing so things you don't need then you need when you get to your destination

[MaryStella]

It is impossible to know what your really going to need. I've just given up, I hate packing. But getting ready to leave now and looking forward to it.

[JW]

Have an awesome time! glad you got your packing done (what are the odds that you will have forgotten something?)

I have come to realize that no matter how much time I spend, I ALWAYS forget something.

[joelk]

Have a great time!!

[MaryStella]

I'm back and it was a really fun trip. Training wise I did Boot camp & circuit training and also bought some kettlebells that I was swinging around. It was really fun. John Pierre is a super coach. I really love that he takes the time to mention love and compassion in his work even though it is a fitness class. That was really special. I can't remember what exercises we actually did to log them but it was running, jumping, pushups, that kind of work. I loved the added bonus of working out in the sand everyday and working on stability. My diet wasn't as clean as usual with lots of vegan food around that I didn't have to prepare. But back home now so that will get resolved. Took today as a rest day and will get back to crossfit endurance in the am and crossfit main page in the evening. I'll post more about summerfest in my summerfest thread when I get a chance.

[lobsteriffic]

Welcome back! Sounds like a great time.

[joelk]

Glad you had a good trip.

Good luck with the surgeon tomorrow

[MaryStella]

thanks! surgeon went well. Had my scabs removed for the last time thankfully. That was not a very fun part of the recovery. Now I need to focus on my shoulder surgery next week! it is coming up fast. let's hope the six weeks in a sling go just as fast.
