Well my friend Frank joined me today for a nice little WOD. Run 1 mile, row 2000 meters and then run another mile for time. I have to say I was still tight from the deadlift extravaganza the other day but did some stretching and felt like I would be ok. Well I knocked out my first mile at around 9 mins, not a horrible pace considering the shape of my legs and lower back. I then turn around and realized why I hate my gym...50 pieces of cardio equipment and only one rowing machine and guess what piece of equipment was being used....uggh. So I had to sit and wait almost 20 mins for pops to get off the machine. Finally knocked out the 2000 meters and my lower back loved me for that. Jumped on the treadmill for the final mile and pushed hard for a sub-10 min and came close. Finished the WOD with a time of about 28 mins. Frank smashed it with a time of about 25 mins. He was a beast on the final 500 meters of the row and runs like a horse on the treadmill. A good way to start our Sunday mornings.
Good times! Its definitely hard when people are using the machine you need. Next time worse case modify the workout or go onto the next station while your waiting. :)
