I was so happy with this WOD. Only having a few metcons under my belt, I felt like this is the first one I've done with some self respect. Knowing where I was and knowing where I'm at right now, takes some patience, but I'm making progress.
I had always heard that conditioning comes easy, it's strength that takes forever to build. Well I'm seeing it first hand. My conditioning is improving much quicker than I thought. I finished slightly over a minute behind 2 guys in the gym that have been stready. I've been out of the Crossfit game for the last 3 months and a few WODs and I'm on some of these guys heals. Obviously, it wasn't a top gym time, but it's competitive amongst my fellow Will County peeps.
So that was Monday, I walk out head held high knowing I put in some hard work. Fast forward to Friday (3/18/11) and my biceps are fried. They are in a constant spasm, just tight, can't extend fully, etc.
The Crossfit Open started this week and I really wanted to compete. I worked so hard over the last 3 months to overcome a shoulder injury and now this happens. I'm working 48 hours in a row this weekend and I might have a chance to complete the 1st WOD on Sunday morning. I setup a massage with Tina for Sunday morning. We'll see how I feel after that. I'll give it a go, depending on how I feel.
The main this is that I still want to Crossfit on a regular basis, so no reason to risk any further injury.
