So I've been carrying a cold around since this weekend. I did CrosFit Monday and wiped out after 2 of 5 rounds of hell (tough WOD). I went again today and told the instructor I was still a little under weather. There was only 3 of us this morning (6am) due to the "cold" (in FL 43 is cold).

I set up and we did 20 min AMRAP of

100 rope skip
weighted gym walk (1)
10 burpee broadjumps
20 KBS
30 roman ab twists (or whatever it was called) with KB

Out of the 3 I was the only one to be almost done with a 3rd set. And yes, the others had been doing it longer than me.

Yea... I also felt even better after and I think cold is pretty much killed. Back to CF Monday morning!

    That's awesome. I love Crossfit. You should be proud of yourself. The fact that you do Crossfit puts you a step above the rest. Keep up the good work.

    Good job!!!!

    I love CrossFit and do i at least three days a week - wish I had more time to do it every day.

    I did "100's" and "Filthy 50" not to long ago and beat my trainer's time - that was a definite NSV for me!!!

    I went last night and the night before. Got congestion from a cold but I still did it.

    Wednesday WOD: "Tabata This"
    8 rounds of rows,squats,pull ups,situps and pushups.

    Thursday WOD:

    For time:

    15 foot Rope climb, 5 ascents
    145 pound Clean and jerk, 5 reps
    15 foot Rope climb, 4 ascents
    165 pound Clean and jerk, 4 reps
    15 foot Rope climb, 3 ascents
    185 pound Clean and jerk, 3 reps
    15 foot Rope climb, 2 ascents
    205 pound Clean and jerk, 2 reps
    15 foot Rope climb, 1 ascent
    225 pound Clean and jerk, 1 rep

    Needless to say I'm not going tonight to run in the cold and do double unders.
    I alternate 3 days weighting and 3 days crossfit, 7th day I rest or colapse,lol.

    Thanks, I just started CF again (did some with a personal trainer before) and I am glad I did. It's expensive but I canceled my regular gym for it and it's across the street from my house (5 minute walk if it's light out, otherwise I drive)

    My intention is to go 3x per week - Mon, Wed and Fri mornings at 6am. I've been slacking in lifting and this puts me back on track I hope. Also then I have worked out for the day and can focus on other things - like salsa dancing :P

    Then I run Saturdays with my friends and some Sundays we go for bike rides (20+ miles)

    Doing wall balls today, I had to keep stopping to blow my nose. With the head tilted back I kept getting post nasal drip and gagging. lol Yeah, Crossfit strong.
