And then there was one...

UPDATE!!!
The better half of Team Darwin(Read as "Carlie") is taking a break from Crossfit for a few weeks so that she can work on getting better after undergoing elective surgery . Carlie is a wonderful wife and mother and has been working and raising a family for the better part of a decade now. Since having children she has always wanted to regain a certain "cosmetic" part of herself, but she has had to set that aside while she focused on more important things in life. Now, after reaching her goal of losing over 50lbs we decided that now was a good time to celebrate her amazing achievement by getting her back that part of her she felt like she had been missing. So, over the next few weeks while Carlie heals and eases back into things, it will just be you and I, my dear friends. So sit back, strap in, and enjoy the scenery, my name is Micah and I'll be your captain on this little joyride through the physical, mental and emotional transformation that the french call "Le Crossfit."





Monday:

After a long weekend away from the box I woke up today eager to jump back into it. Unfortunately, my body had other plans...
Today's WOD:
(3x)
15 Wall Balls
12 Lateral Jump Burpees
9 Sumo Deadlift High Pull (115#/75#)(Micah70lbs)
6 Hang Clean (115#/75#)(Micah 95lbs)
3 Push Press (115#/75#)(Micah 95lbs)
400m run

Micah- 15:05

Today I REALLY struggled. I don't know if it was because I'm getting sick, because I ate like crap all weekend or a combination of the two. The point is I SUCKED! I had to walk on my runs, I wasn't squatting deep on my WallBalls, the burpees felt eternal, and I could not for the life of me get those damned hang cleans!! It was frustrating to the point of wanting to quit... I didn't. But I didn't really finish in style either. It was depressing.
I thought about it all day long and I think I figured it out... I need Carlie... Seriously!
She's my go-juice, she pushes her hardest every time and if I don't, she leaves me in the dust! She sets the rhythm and keeps the pace. So, over these next few weeks I'm going to have to take this "funk" and use it as motivation to drive myself. If I need to work on my hang-cleans... then I'll work the hell out of 'em! Only two things can happen- push through it or give up, and I'm not giving up! So wish me luck, while I dig deep- I'm going to need it!!
