300 - Day 68

Day 67 was a rest day at the main site. For Day 68, the WOD was as follows:
For time:
Run 800 meters
15 left-legged pistols
15 right-legged pistols
25 sit-ups
12 left-legged pistols
12 right-legged pistols
25 sit-ups
9 right-legged pistols
9 left legged pistols
25 sit-ups
Run 800 meters

As Rx'd this workout is done with a 55# (1 1/2 pood) KB - which I didn't have available and so swapped for my 30# KB. I did this at home in the "gym" I have set up in my shed - which consists of a cardboard box on the floor for a sit-up/push-up mat, my KB (30#), 2x20# DumbBells, a work bench that I can kitty corner in for dips, and an exercise ball that I use for a more full-range sit-up.

After a general warm-up of a 1/2 mile run (un-timed), 20 push-ups, 15 swiss-ball sit-ups, 10 dips, and 30 Jumping Jacks I kicked this off.

I ran my first 800m in 2:56 - a far cry from the 2:20 or so repeats I did in high school - around the ball park of 2:05 or sometimes better on race day.

The pistols were a little sloppy, and quite broken up - this is a move I definitely have to work on. The sit-ups were tiring, but at least unbroken.

My second 800m was about 3:30 or so - big slow down.

Overall time 17:46.
