More Work, Or A Sip Of Water?

by Christian Fox
 
You’re mid-Helen. You’re finishing your 2nd round of KB swings and the pull-up bar is waiting for you. So what do you do? Place your bell down, grab a sip of water, wipe the sweat from your face, chalk up your hands, and then size up the pull-up bar? Or do you ditch the bell and get on the pull-up bar knowing that you’ve only got one round left and the big rest is coming. Last sprint, last swings, last pull-ups. Forget the chalky feeling on your tongue; you’re getting on the leader board this time.
 
In many WODs, a sip of water here and there is totally appropriate. Think Murph, Angie, Barbara (during the rest), or some other 20+minute chipper style WOD. These are designed to be done at a medium to medium-high intensity and take significant time to complete; hence they need to be paced out and can allow for a sip or a break. WODs like Fran, Annie, and the like are meant to be executed at a high intensity throughout, and take a short time to complete. I feel pretty confident saying that you will not dehydrate during 5-10 minutes it takes to complete either of these couplets. Often though, we see athletes stopping mid-WOD to grab a sip or just to put their hands on their hips and rest. Sometimes, sure, this is appropriate. Are you sick, pregnant, injured, or the like? Then yes, you may need to pace even short WODs. But if not, then be honest with yourself about why you’re reaching for your water bottle again or chalking up for the 4th time in 12 pull-ups. It probably isn’t thirst. It’s being uncomfortable with being uncomfortable.
 
Let me be clear…I’m not saying not to stay hydrated and on the south-side line of Pukieville, but if this sounds like you then try this trick. BEFORE the clock starts, drink a cup of water. Then put your water bottle away from you and out of reach. Mid-WOD when you start to think how nice a little H20 would feel on your tongue, use that to motivate you to finish faster. The water is the reward. Finish and it’s yours.
 
Train smart, but train hard. Remember that intensity is what brings results. Increase your pain tolerance. Try getting more comfortable with being uncomfortable.

  • Happy Birthday, Ashley F!
  • CFSBK has raised over 17K for Fight Gone Bad 2013!!! Great Job team!!

9/29/13 CFSBK 0, Side of Mac and G’s 1

This week’s action saw a tightly contested game between a newly focused Fighting Tacos team and some other fools.  In their third game of the season the Tacos played a much better team game, highlighted by much better positioning, communication, and ball control.  After an early goal, the Tacos dominated most of the game, but were unable to translate their effort into goals.  Strong midfield play from Coach MeLo, Kate R. and Jen S kept the Tacos on the attack.  In her season debut, Inka H.’s brilliant play led to her being marked by the other team as a threat, and she soon incurred the wrath of their enforcer.  The rough play from the opponents led to a “discussion of the rules” that resulted in a red card send off for striker Dan H.  Soon thereafter, the iron fist of the referee’s authority crashed down on keeper Luke A. resulted in his ejection as well.  The Tacos played the rest of the game out with five players against seven, but refused to yield more goals, despite fill-in goalie Noah’s best efforts to do so.
Game Ball Goes To: The Referee, who had more impact on the game than any of the players, just like referees are supposed to (!?)
Next Game: Sunday, 10/6 @ 2PM vs Warby Parker @ Brooklyn Bridge Park

Congratulationt to Matt Cohen and his wife on the birth of Violet!
Violet Octavia Cohen, 7 lbs and 10 ounces, was born at 2:02 AM on September 19th after only 90 minutes of labor.  She was almost born in the car, and I missed the actual delivery in the five minutes it took for me to park after dropping my wife off at the hospital door.  Violet was in such a big hurry to get out, but now all she does is sleep.

Happy Birthday Emily V!
