Since I was incapacitated yesterday (after Friday night's dips), I went to the gym today to attack yesterday's WOD -- For time: 1000m row, then 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 kb swing (women's Rx 45lb), with each round of swings followed by a round of Cindy (5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats). I was unimpressed with my time of 27:48. I hate to point fingers, but if I had to assign blame, I'd blame the wardrobe department. (Bad reference to a bad movie that is a guilty pleasure of mine -- 10 points if you can identify it, with points being redeemable for not-a-darn-thing.)
No, I will say that, of my many challenges with this workout, my grip may have been the silent killer. Historically, I have swung the 36lb kettlebell ... so this was quite the step up for me. I was happy that I could still get the thing up over my head ... but after the first couple of rounds, my grip started to give, which started impacting my pullups, too. Two pullups, and my hands would quit. My hopes to straight-set my pullups were shot. Arg! But, hey, I have lots of pretty new callous/blisters to show for my endeavor. And I did straight set eight of my ten pushup sets. So the WOD wasn't all a disappointment. :)
