Yesterday's WOD at CrossFit Regina was back squats and then "Helen." My lower back was sore for most of the day so I decided that I wasn't going to chance further aggravating it.
Instead, I decided to to CLOC #5 from last week:
15 power cleans @ 115lbs
30 double unders
10 power cleans @ 135lbs
30 double unders
5 power cleans @155lbs
There were various groups doing various things around the gym, and clock was already running, so I started doing the WOD on my own.
I neglected to let either of the coaches know, so Keenan re-set the clock while I was about 90 seconds in. He was extremely apologetic, but honestly, he did me a favour.
I was thinking I'd get finished this WOD in under 5:00 and I might even threaten the 4:00 mark if my DUs were on.
They weren't. AT ALL.
Despite the fact that I didn't have a clock running, I was trying to get it done as quick as possible. But I couldn't string together more than 10 DUs in a row for the most part. And the more inept I was at them, the more pissed off I became. And the more pissed off I got, the worse my DUs became. By the end, I was a hapless-skipping rage monster.
I don't know how long this took me, but it's very possible I wouldn't have made it under the 7-minute time cap.

"hapless-skipping rage monster"
This may be one of the best descriptors ever written.
I consider this high praise from the author of "80's style Soviet Bloc gymnastics hard".
