“Deck of Cards”

I dropped off Jeff at the airport this morning, and I always feel sad doing so. I had originally intended to go home but instead went directly to CFS. “House of Cards” was programmed today, and I did my own version.

♥ | 95# bench press
♦ | 95# Sumo dead-lift high pull
♣ | toes through rings
♠ | chest to bar pull-ups
Ace | 10 burpees
Joker | muscle-up

It might have been nice for someone to draw the cards for me. On the other hand, drawing the cards myself forced me to rest ever so briefly between sets. I know I could’ve completed this faster, however, if I hadn’t had to draw my own cards, particularly when I drew consecutive cards from the same suit.

I completed all rounds of bench press, SDHP, and toes through rings unbroken, but had to eventually break up sets of C2B pull-ups. After yesterday’s 100 GHD sit-ups even toes through rings were a struggle.

Here’s how it played out:
10 BP
10 TTR
2 BP
9 TTR
3 BP

10 SDHP

4 BP

I called out each activity and number of reps before completing, e.g., “Sh!t, 10 chest to bar pull-ups.” Speaking of chest to bar pull-ups, I didn’t complete any until 6 or so minutes into the workout, and then I kept pulling higher numbers.

Time 35:21.

That’s 84 reps of each activity and 40 burpees and 4 muscle ups. Wow. And ouch.

I coached the 9:45 and 11 am sessions. Rona attended the first session! Yup, Rona! There was once again a full house at the 11 am session. It was once again a neck and neck race, only this time between Ashlee and Angie, with Ashlee finishing just seconds ahead of Angie.

I ♥ CFS.
