8.26.13- In which our hero gives up the battle to win the war.

It is so goddamn hot out today.

Seriously, it is unbearable. I don't have air conditioning at my apartment, so last night I slept on my parent's couch to get out of the heat. So, yeah, I knew Crossfit would be bad today. I also knew that my last fitness update was a disappointing one, and I've only got 6 days to make it up!

So go to crossfit I did.

The first part of the workout was 4 sets of 6 squat thrusts. I did mine at 205 pounds, which is heavy, but it was doable.

The second half of the workout was less doable:

-30 pull-ups (or in my case ring rows)
-30 burpees
-20 pull-ups
-20 burpees
-10 pull-ups
-10 burpees.

Honestly, I got all the pull-ups done, but I skipped many of the burpees. I may have been able to do them all, but I knew that if I really pushed hard and did everything today, I wouldn't be back for another week due to soreness. I figure that 5 workouts at 75% are better than 1 at 110%, right?

In any case, I was already sweating like Patrick Ewing.

Now, if only I could bottle it and sell it to someone...
