tabata this!

This is Settie ridin' that red bumper! A few weeks ago we were working on heavy deadlifts. For ages Settie has been talking about graduating to the red bumpers and she finally got her chance when she did a 133# deadlift (I think that was it. If not, sorry Settie!). This little mama totally rocks it out at CrossFit and I'm glad to share the floor with her.

Warm-up
Run 800 meters
Three rounds of:
Walking lunge steps
Five burpees
Prep for WOD

CrossFit One World WOD: "Tabata Something Else"
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are jumping pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups (modified), the third 8 intervals are Abmat sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.

Your score is total reps from all 32 intervals.

Here is what my tabata looked like:
Jumping pull ups: 11/9/8/8/8/8/8/8 = 68
Push-ups (on knees, modified to box in round three): 12/12/6/10/9/8/8/9 = 74
Abmat sit-ups: 9/8/8/7/8/7/6/7 = 60
Squats: 10/12/11/10/10/13/11/13 = 90

Joanne's Final Count - 292

Notes (to myself) about this workout: In truth, I'm very fond of taking Jason's classes because he knows how to teach for the quality lifting. This is why I had to change my push-up style. I don't mind modifying on the box. It's actually good for me to do so because I get a better range of motion. The WOD itself just sucked. I tried to not go, but I knew that I'd feel like a panty if I didn't go (especially since I may not go tomorrow). I will say that I did way better this time at this WOD than the last time I did it. Here are my numbers from August 2008:
Jumping Pull-ups: 75 total
Push-ups: 8/6/5/5/5/5/5/5 - 44 total
Sit-ups: 3/6/4/5/7/7/7/7 - 46 total
Squats: 11/10/12/10/10/10/10/10 - 83 total

Joanne's Tabata Total: 248

I'm jazzed because I remember this WOD and I'm sure that the quality of what I did today is way better than last time. Finally, a big KUDOS to little Shannon for rockin' over 300 yesterday. You're such a rockstar!
