Douglas Park: Tennis, anyone?

Harlan and I went to the Douglas Park tennis courts for our weekly workout.  ^

It is a large, enclosed complex with 5 concrete courts side by side.


A. Warm-up - Slamball toss burpees

We stood about 10 feet apart and tossed the 20lb slam ball back and forth.  Every time we did a throw, we dropped to the ground to do a burpee.


B. WOD - Five rounds of lines

Starting at the midpoint line of court #1, we run to the midline of court #2, then back to court #1, to court #3 and back, then finally to court #4 and back.

We then rested long enough to catch our breath and do it again.

My times:
42 seconds (I paused briefly as I got confused about what court I was supposed to be on)
39 seconds
39 seconds
38 seconds
38 seconds


Bonus: Sprint from outer edge of court #1 to the outer edge of court #5 and back.

It took me 24 seconds.


C. Max push-ups

I forgot we were going to do this.  I probably would have skipped the bonus sprint if I had remembered.

I was tired and could only manage 20.

Garage: Garage Gone Bad

I originally envisioned this as a Fight Gone Bad style WOD with one minute breaks.  But it was already kind of hot out and beforehand I had a pain in my side that I thought was maybe appendicitis (it wasn't) so I thought it was best for Harlan and I to alternate, which meant longer rest breaks: 

Three rounds each, taking turns: 
One minute ball slams
One minute burpee pull-ups
One minute Bosu squats
One minute single skips



Here's how I did in the three rounds: 

Slams   33, 35, 36
Burpulls 8, 9, 10
BOSU  18, 22, 26
Skips   119, 113, 110

Rest two minutes or so

The row was a pretty decent pace, right around 2:00 per 500m.  I didn't push myself all that hard on the ride.

Friday Doubleheader: Basement and Garage with Harlan

A day off which allowed me to get a little sweaty in both the morning and afternoon.


Morning: Basement Biking 

10 minutes of moderate AirDyne = 151 calories
Followed by 30 sit-ups and 30 ball slams



Garage WOD with Harlan

A.  5 rounds over-the-bar slamball catch: 20 throws, wallball style
Resting about 30 seconds in between.

20 throws shared was not too much so we did 30 in the final round.


B. 4 rounds of

15 push-ups
5 toes to bar
400m run or 75 double unders

I did the run version for three of the four rounds.  The DU version was HARD, yo.

My time for the run version was 2:45, 2:46, and 2:40.  Due to a stopwatch issue, I don't have a time for the second round, which I did DUs.  But it would have been way longer.  I can't do DUs very well in my garage.
