So it's finally happened.
I had my first official Crossfit dream last night.
Like a lot of my dreams it starts out sorta realistic then turns sorta absurd.
I dreamt that the whole RFM gym was doing a whole day of WOD's. The first one was the longest then we had a bunch of other smaller but just as painful WOD's afterwards throughout the entire day.
It sorta reminded me of the Crossfit Games except anybody could do it. It was in a large park and there were hundreds of people there.
The first WOD, the big one, involved running a mile then coming back and doing a bunch of body movements and weight lifting. Fifty push-ups, 40 sit-ups, 30 of something else and so on and so forth.
Then after that we had a bunch of other WOD's. I can't remember each one but it was like if we took the entire week's board at RFM and did all of them in one day. I think we had 8 hours to do all the WOD's.
BUT . . . here's the catch.
I DIDN'T GET TO WORKOUT.
Yup, that's right. It was my own freakin dream and I had to work. I was in my workout clothes and everything and had to go to a meeting.
I was so pissed that, and this is where it gets absurd. After my meeting I found a DeLorean in the parking lot of the Uptown Chevron and tried to go back in time so I could join everyone else on the WOD. Except I didn't have fuel and I had to have Kehau and Marcus pedal on stationary bikes to jump start the flux capacitor or something like that.
Because if anyone can hit the 9.21 gigawatts I needed to go Back to the Future it's those two, right?
I don't know if I made it back to start the all day WOD because right about then I woke up. Even though it was a dream I was still upset that I missed the WOD.
Sigh. You know, if I was going to have a Crossfit dream you would think I would dream about outlifting Bump or coming in first or something. Freakin A dude.
Whatever. So. Back to the workout.
Today was tough. Five hang squat cleans, 10 lateral burpees and a 400 meter run for three rounds.
I went heavy but not as heavy as I was supposed to. Did 135 instead of 170 and it still sucked.
The runs sucked but Bob was there to coach me through it. He kept saying stuff like "expand your stride" and "let's go, it's downhill now."
Simple yet effective. So much so that on the last round when we were coming back for the last 200 meters I took off and caught up to one of our younger members, who is still in high school.
Nothing like a last minute blast of energy to make up for the entire workout. Sixteen minutes wasn't going to impress anyone but I felt the burn.
Okay guys, I'm going back to bed tonight to dream a little Crossfit dream again. And this time I'm making the WOD.
Shoots,
Rod
