March Training Blog

March, what can I say~?! The Open came and chewed me up~! April will bring opportunities to work on developing as an athlete~!

18.2:

18.2~! Almost headed out the door for this one~! On paper this didn’t look bad. I thought I’d be able to work up to 90kg in 12 minutes ~ WRONG~! Warming up I worked up to an easy 80kg and said to myself I’d be happy to hit that in the actual workout~! Took me just under 11 minutes to complete 18.2 which gave me little time to catch my breath~! When I did I hit and easy 60kg to put a score on the board an had just enough time to slam some 10’s either side to hit my 80~! Definitely not doing this again~! But I’m happy with it~ ️‍♂️️‍♂️️‍♂️#crossfit #oneanddone #oneshot #norepeats #wod #workoutoftheday #theopen #clean #squat #burpees #dumbbellsquats #rogue #roguefitness #homegym #eleiko #nike #niketraining #reebok #fit #fun #athomefitness #fitnessathome #18point2 trainsmartnothard.com

Not a lot of training done in March. The Open throws a real spanner in the works. Bring on April~!
