I was stoked and ready to go today when I woke up wishing I could go straight to CrossFit and then off to a trail for a long run. I had a few things to do first before all that could happen.
Everything was looking good until we started doing pull ups at Rogue. In the first set, I stepped down wrong onto a box close by and hyper extended my ankle. How on earth do you hurt your ankle doing pull ups? Damn it!
I tried to walk it off and the more I did, the worse it got.
Part of the work out was to run 400 meters for 4 rounds. Actually it was:
15 Pull Ups, 10 Romanian Dead lifts, 400 meter run, 4 rounds -FOR TIME.
I was able to do the first set of pull ups, but tried to do the RDL's and instantly my ankle seared with pain. I stopped and hopped onto the Rower and did 1000 meters. I couldn't even put pressure on my ankle even rowing, so I left my foot out of the stirrup and did them anyway.
I ended up doing 3000 meters total.
Needless to say I had a total buzz-kill since I wasn't able to make it out to a trail or finish the prescribed WOD.
I just got done icing it and rubbing in Arnica Gel. It's feeling a little better, but I am nervous now as I have a few things going on the next couple of weeks.
Totals:
1 mile warm up at CF.
3000 meter row.
I hate it when you get a "freak out" ... "what is that pain" feeling.

ReplyDeleteouch, ice ice baby and don't come back to soon get it rested and repaired!
ReplyDeleteHey guys, the "Freak Out" is almost over. I am so lucky I sprung into action and hit the ankle with contrasting ICE, then Hot Epsom Salt soaks, arnica gel, and E-Stim.
ReplyDeleteRob: I have 1 Celebrator Left. It's all yours.
