Nothing like the recovery/mobility position post WOD, huh? Tough to stand back up after something like that…
I gotta tell ya, after going out of the way to write a blog post about drinking fluids during a MetCon, I went ahead and made the mistake, myself, anyway…
I was thirsty during everything leading up to the WOD, and as I was warming up I was thinking to myself, “I should go refill my [purple] Nalgene water bottle.”
Yes, I said purple… what do you wanna say about that? 😛
Anyway, I went and filled her up.
Took a little sip, “ahhhh…”
Thought, well, I’ll have a little more…
…a full glass [or more] of water later I had the thought, “crap! That was probably a bad idea…”
Well, wouldn’t you know it. I got about 9 minutes into the workout and started feeling like if I kept up the pace I was doing, the water would have surged its’ way back out from whence it came.
I finished the workout, anyway. I had to slow my pace, of course. But I share this because I want you to know that I am not immune to doing silly things.
Even after I’ve written about it…
…don’t be so hard on yourself if something happens, yeah?
