5.17.13- Balls to the Wall

Today marked my fifth day in a row working my tail off at Crossfit, but that doesn't mean I was allowed to slack off for today's workout. It was a tough one. First we did our 1 rep max for the clean lift (I got to 155.) After that, we had to start the wall ball:

Despite the fact that I've been doing crossfit for about 6 months now, I had never had the... pleasure... of doing wall ball. Honestly, I thought it looked like fun. Oh, how wrong I was.

so today's workout was:

For time:

12 Cleans at 115
30 Wall Ball (10 lbs Medicine ball)
9 Cleans @ 155/103
20 Wall Ball
6 Cleans @ 155/103
10 Wall Ball

About 10 throws into that first set of wall ball, my lungs started to seize up. It felt like I couldn't breath AND like I was going to throw up (thank god I didn't have anything in my stomach.) That said, even though it felt like I was going to die, I finished that mother fucking workout. It took me 7 minutes and 24 seconds, but I beat that thing like Ivan Drago beat Apollo Creed.
