Nancy’s not so great herself.
Nancy is the name of Thursday’s WOD. She took longer for me to finish, but the nature of the workout is different. 5 rounds, 400 m run followed by 15 overhead squats each. The prescribed weight is 95 lbs. One person did the prescribed weight. That person was not me. Me, I did 55 lbs. I did finish in the fastest time, 16:35, but part of me feels I could have pushed harder. Gotten 65 lbs in maybe. Only three other guys did more weight than me, so maybe everyone was taking it slightly easier. Whatever the case, I have a baseline now, and can go up next time Nancy comes calling.
Why are the workouts named after women? No clue. Because women are hard and cruel maybe? Or maybe because they whip us into shape? Your guess is better than mine.
Game of Thrones? Are you watching it? I told you to. Just finished episode nine. Good one. The series is highly recommended, go catch it. I hope they add in some out of story twists next season. I appreciate the dedication to the source material, but it’s following it to the letter practically, and that can be stifling in the creativity department. I may be alone in that opinion though…
