Today we rowed, swung heavy kettle bells, did burpees, swung heavy kettle bells and rowed again. They were short rows - only 250 meters. Sprints. I decided to do the WOD Rx'd with a 1.5 POOD. That #44 kettle bell was calling my name but I pretended not to hear it and went Rx'd.
During the first set of 15 KB swings I did 10 unbroken and then did the last 5. In the second set of 15 I only did 6 and put the bell down. I did 2 more and then felt like I couldn't do anymore. I walked away from it. I looked at my coaches and thought they would bring me the lighter bell. But no-one did. I had to pick it up again. And I did. And I finished the last 7 unbroken.
But the entire time, all of the coaches in the gym were yelling at me like I was the tortoise in the race. I had seen a lot of the times on the white board from the early class and they were in the 4-5 minute range. All using a #35 KB. But the way everyone was yelling at me I was sure I had to be closing in on 10 minutes. I think someone even said my burpees looked like I was 50 years old.
I finished the WOD in 5:41. Which honestly I was ecstatic about being that I used the heavy KB. I think that's a respectable time. Maybe it's time to stop listening to the yelling and start watching the clock.
