Wednesday and The Filthy Fifty!

it sounds like a bad ww2 movie! The Filthy Fifty! but what its really is a badass workout! i real beast!
woke up a little groggy. had a late meeting last night and didnt get home till 10:30 or so. asleep after 11. argh. hate that. body needs to get the sleep!
checked the mainsite half thinking we would get a heavy wod today. nope! a real beast and a benchmark beast at that.
the first time i did this i did it as 35 reps. i don't think i finished the burpees and forget double unders. i think i was over 40 minutes and almost dead. so this am we were going to run full tilt at it! lets get some!

warm up
run 1 mile
felt great. could have run 3 but i knew what lay ahead!

WOD
the filthy fifty
50- 24" box jumps
50- jumping pull ups
50- kettlebell swings 1 pood
50- walking lunges
50- knees to elbows
50- push press 45# bar
50- back extensions
50- wall ball(subbed 45# thruster)
50- burpees
50- double unders

so after my little warm up run i moved over to back of the gym and set up my stations. took a minute or 2 breather and then 3-2-1- go baby!
the box jumps were good. paced them and got them all unbroken
jumping pullups started to burn around 35 and really spiked the heart rate
kettelbell swings were broken into sets of 30 and 20 but felt ok. again heart rate up
walking lunges suck period. yes they were hard. thought i might recover a little here. um no!
knees to elbows were broken into sets. 15-10-10-10-5 few seconds between. needed to reset
grip and rest a bit.
push press were sets of 20-15-15. really starting to feel it now and was dreading what was coming up
back extensions were ok. 30 and 20. hams were tight on the second set
subbed 45# thrusters for wall balls. they weren't as bad as i expected. sets of 15-15-10-10
now to the dreaded part.......
broke the burpees into sets of 10. i had to lay on the floor for about 20-30 seconds between sets. was gettind gassed but could see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
double unders went better than expected. got to 25 fast and then just choked out the rest.
37:00 +/- on the wall clock.
this is of course not fire breather material but i was very happy just to finish. after the first 2 sets of burpees i wasnt so sure.

glad i got it done. it really just comes down to doing more work when everything says to quit. mental game.

time to recover.
have a meeting tonite. not sure how late that will go. will be playing tomorrow am by ear....
