"Fight Gone Bad"

I had never done this workout before. This morning at the gym (www.crossfituppsala.se) our teacher Martin explained it to us and I started to get that tingling sensation that I only get when I know that I'm about to do something that is going to take both physical and mental endurance.

After going through the excersizes and getting warmed up, we started the pain.

3 rounds of:

1 minute wall-ball (8 kg)

1 minute of sumo-deadlift + high-pull (32 kg kettlebell)

1 minute of box-jumps (not sure how high, knee-height approx)

1 minute of push-press (35 kg bb)

1 minute of rowing.

1 minute rest

I'm can't remember my results. I know that the last box-jumps were 20, I think I had 15 push-press the last round and something like 16 kcal of rowing. The "goal" is 20 in each minute and in each round. I think my first round of wall-balls were above 20, but honestly I can't remember.

There are very few times in my life that I have been pushed this hard both physically and mentally. During the third round, after I put myself through the 20 box-jumps, my puls felt like it was beating at 195 - 200 bpm. I have a pretty decent sense of my high-pulses and I know that I was up at my max-pulse for the entire push-press in the third round.

It felt great.

It is times like this that you know that you are alive. Next time, I'll do even better. I'll push myself harder regardless of wether I have become more athletic or not.
