Traveling WOD's

Right now I'm in Dallas at a business conference & I was very pleased to find a newly remodeled fitness room in my hotel. Okay, no excuses...but you know I need my Crossfit Gym to help me push through a good workout. So, to ensure that I actually got out of bed after my wake-up call & went to that fitness center, I had to have a plan in place before I fell asleep. First, I needed to define my workout so that I didn't get to the gym and simply dabble. And second, I committed to myself that I would make a post about my WOD time so that I would have to complete it. So, my wonderful readers, while I'm on the road, you are my new Crossfit gym to keep me on track...because I can't lie to you!

Here goes: I first set out to do FRAN in honor of all my friends doing her majesty at Crossfit Central this Saturday. But there was no pull-up situation so I developed a modified FRAN. This was a great workout because I only had time for a "sprint" WOD.

This is what I had to work with:That's a 20lb med ball and 25lb dumbbells.
I named her FRANITA :)
3...2...1...GO!

21-15-9
Dumbbell Thrusters
Push-ups
Russian Twists (that's 42-30-18 touches total)

Time!
The last set of Thrusters I had to move down to 20lb dumbbells. And the last 5 seemed like they might be impossible. But I had a lot of lingering feelings from Veteran's Day and I thought about how many brave men and women have had to push through horrifying moments when they didn't want to. I thought about what it must be like to be faced with these moments & all the sudden pushing through those thrusters seemed like a piece of cake. A new energy flooded me. We all have the strength within for anything we want to accomplish...it's just a matter of believing it and drawing from it, but trust me it's there.

Time: 10 mins 7 secs
