Jim vs. Grace

It’s been some time since I tackled one of the named Crossfit workouts, and I’m also worried that I’m falling into the habit of only doing longer metcons on weekends and thus cutting myself off from some great barbell-based workouts. Hence:

“Grace”
135lb Clean and Jerk x 30

This is the first time I’ve tried to do this one as Rx’d, and early on it felt like I’d never be able to finish. I considered cutting myself off at ten minutes, since it wasn’t long before I was reduced to doing one rep at a time. But when that ten-minute mark rolled around, I’d already done 26 reps, so I was damn well going to get 30.

Wrapped it up in 11:38 — so yeah, by the end I was averaging a blistering 25 seconds per rep — but I wrapped it up. Rawk.
