Crossfit 13.3

Never updated on 13.3 so here is it! Crossfit Games workout 13.3, in my opinion was the weed out workout (kind of like O Chem in college- well at least my smart pre med friends told me that.)

Workout Looked Like This…

WOMEN - includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:

  • 150 Wall balls (14 lbs to 9′ target)
  • 90 Double-unders
  • 30 Muscle-ups

But I have not yet been able to master double-unders and I have yet to complete a muscle-up. So I wasn’t too worried about #1 in the workout, although I was nervous that I wouldn’t even get all of those done in 12 minutes, but I was up for the challenge. Since I was physically unable to check off the second and third move I had to substitute.

So instead I had to complete 180 double-unders and a pull-up and dip for a muscle up. I completed all of my wall balls (which was TOUGH) and all of my jump ropes and got thru about 5 of my “muscle ups.” 

I felt defeated after this workout. 13.2 I felt STRONG so it was tough to feel weak after a workout. I had to keep reminding myself that it is all about trying your best and just the fact that I tried made me a winner… and a hard worker. I even had to take a breather by myself afterward to center myself and have that verbal reminder. 

Although it was HARD I was glad that I at least tried. It was a friendly reminder that even though we aren’t always able to complete every single workout just the fact that we are getting out there and trying means we are awesome.

So to all of you out there that tried 13.3 and maybe didn’t even get through it all…

GOOD FOR YOU! You are AWESOME.

13.2 Round 2

After what I considered to me a very successful 13.2 I wanted to try it again. My original try (you can read that here) was done with 65lbs instead of the regulation 75lb and that just didn’t sit well with me. So when Crossfit Commotion was running a special night for those that wanted to try (or re-try) 13.2 I was in! 

And well, attempt #2 at 13.2 was pretty awesome. I finished with only 3 box jumps less than what I finished my original attempt at and honestly with 10 more pounds added to the exercises I think that was a pretty awesome accomplishment. 

I have no freaking clue why but I love 13.2. I think it just challenges my body in ways that I don’t but that I feel strong with. I also love that this workout takes me over the edge but in the best way possible. My goal for the month of April will be to continue to take my body a little further every day and to really concentrate on proper form and pushing the limits. Speaking of pushing the limits… did you try Filthy Fifty yet?!

What are your goals for April?!
