Doug and I have been away for almost two months on a skiing and climbing trip. In my more obsessive days, I would try and work-out while we were away - a practice Doug thought foolish at best, laughable at worst. In the dark evening hours, after a full day climbing I would be outside struggling through some futile exercise routine. Now, I'm either older, wiser or perhaps just more feeble; in any event, I don't do that anymore.
But, once you are back home, there's just no excuse for not getting at it. The Crossfit WOD for Friday, May 20, 2011 was 6 rounds for time:
- 50 Squats
- 25 Ring dips
I substituted 10 ankles to bar for the ring dips as I am trying to improve my body tension when climbing steep routes (I read on Will Gadd's blog that A2B is a good exercise for this). I finished in 13:45, which I suspect is nowhere near what the real Crossfitters are finishing in, and did the usual Crossfit cool-down which involves collapsing on the ground like a deflated balloon. My legs were shaking for an hour after wards. Preeminent in my mind was the thought that "This is gonna hurt tomorrow" as indeed it did.
