A. Dead Lift - build to a tough single in a few sets - NOT a 1RM

(rest 5 min)

for time:

25 TnG tough DL

Run 1K

25 burpees

5:30ish- I miscounted my burpees

155# TnG Unbroken (mixed grip), run was surprisingly easy after heavy Deads and burpees felt fast and powerful

Complete. Ran by the lake this morning- felt great. I was impressed at my ability to judge time based on the way my body feels. My knees and hips ached a little by the end. Great workout!

5+4+3=12 min at 50%
5 min warm up run @Z1

Not sure of food and sleep- my brain only works on 24 hour cycles :)

This was a nasty one.  Training at 9am looked like this:

for time:

50 wall balls unbroken

50 double unders unbroken

40 wall balls unbroken

50 double unders unbroken

30 wall balls unbroken

50 double unders unbroken

20 wall balls unbroken

50 double unders unbroken

10 wall balls unbroken

50 double unders unbroken

17:35

9 ft. target, 14# ball

Went into this thinking it would hurt far more than it did. The first 40 WB were hard and I tripped up around rep 31 on the first set of DU's. After that, there were a few trips on subsequent rounds, but at low numbers.

Power cleans and rope climbs

Sleep:  11p-8a
Food:  8am coffee with light cream, lunch salad with shredded chicken, mixed greens and veggies, sunflower seeds, mixed fruit, and balsamic dressing ~1:30p, popcorn with coconut oil and nutritional yeast @4p, dinner salad with pepperoni, turkey and mixed greens, green beans, dates, strawberries, mixed nuts, mixed veggies, and balsamic dressing at 7p, arctic zone ice cream snack @9p.


Training at noon:

A. power clean cluster - 1.1.1.1 x 5; rest 5 min - 10 sec b/t reps

84.105.110.115.115 - felt solid- was more difficult than I expected

B. press x 1/push press x 5; rest 3 min x 3

65/75/85 F/ 75- elbow flexors are killing me from 12.5 x 2

C. 8 rope ascents - 15 lunges b/t ascents - not for time

Complete to 15'- felt really strong and quick (finally)- lunges were good

2nd go with 12.5

Woke up Sunday morning feeling great and had already decided to redo 12.5- something just didn't feel right and I knew that wasn't my best effort.

I used a supinated grip for my C2B pull ups (instead of a mixed grip) and got 19 more reps.  My final score was 87.  Much better.  Overall, the Open was a great experience this year and I was very pleased to have finished 137 out of 1100.  Last year I wasn't able to finish at all.  

The first 12.5

We arrived home on Friday around 2pm- and I did my first attempt at 12.5 on Saturday morning at 7am.

as many reps as possible in 7 min:

3 thruster - 100/65#

3 CTB chin ups

6 thruster - 100/65#

6 CTB chin ups....

(as far as you can go increasing by 3's each time for 7 min)

68 reps- couldn't do last year- shoulder injury. This felt miserable, and coming off vacation I didn't have any mental dig. Chest to bar is a real limiter for me, as are thrusters. 

The elliptical

Wow- I'm such a posting loser.  It's all the Disney magic floating around in my head.  So, here is last Thursday, March 23.

Row 3 min @ Z1

150 Wall balls (14lbs to 9' target)
