Metcon: "Death by Suicide"

1 suicide equals midline of the court to sideline and back
Add an additional suicide to each minute until caught

Score: just shy of 13

Post-metcon: TGUs 2 x 3/arm @ 16kg

Notes: Tonight's class left something to be desired. Sure, I got a great workout in by busting my butt on the suicides, but I feel like that should be a finisher, not the main course. Anyways, I'm trying my best to trust the programming and hope that it's best to taper somewhat in the ramp-up to the first Open workout on Saturday. I had seen Mark and Scott each make it to 13 in the earlier class, so my goal was to get 14. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite finish 13, so I wasn't able to continue on. I was actually feeling cold and wobbly after the suicides. This type of training is grossly underutilized in the CrossFit community. I think you get more out of one suicide run at full speed than you do out of a slow, 5K jog. Anyways, I should definitely consider adding more of these to the ends of my workouts. I went through the motions on the TGUs because I was not feeling well.

I was really feeling down after this session. With the Open looming, I really want every session to be a step in the right direction. It's difficult to see how this session puts me in a better position for the Open, but maybe it will. I couldn't sleep at night because I was so anxious to see the first Open workout. There are no movements I'm particularly scared of, but I just want something to show up where I can really show what I can do.
