6:50- felt winded- CtB were surprisingly easy- nice improvement here. The video shows I did 14 CtB in Rd 1 and 13 in Rd 2- nice counting skills!

Watch this first- then

1. list the top 3 things that make you feel alive!

presence and experience, reaching for new limits, connecting
After writing the above, I realized they are all quite connected, in that what truly makes me feel alive is my most authentic experience of life

2. what are you doing each day that shows you are striving after those top 3?

Reminding myself that to do the above, I must stay firmly rooted in each moment- letting go of past and future experiences by taking a deep breath and returning to the present, to truth, to love, to freedom. Reaching for new limits encompasses physical, spiritual, and emotional learning and understanding. I feed this through my training, yoga practice, and my family and friends who teach me daily. Again, being present allows me to absorb, experience, and push my limits of learning, and understanding. And finally connecting is the authentic interaction with my family, my friends, and all of life. Each morning when I see my daughter sleeping I am reminded of how we are all truly connected and I am in awe of the perfection of life.

OPT Online Competition- Day 1

Training at 10 am

Day 1 (comprised of 3 tests):

Test 1: Snatch TnG Skill Test

In 10 min find your 10-Rep TnG (“Touch-and-Go”) Squat Snatch from the floor (video submission required)

Hit 75# x 10 but my squat depth was questionable, so I submitted 70# x 10 (video below)

- After completion of the Snatch TnG Skill test, you must take a 10 Minute Rest before moving onto Test 2

Test 2: Burpee Repeatability Test

AMRAP Burpees in 40 sec/ rest 20 sec x 4

17, 16, 14, 12- total of 59

this was far more painful than I anticipated- I hit the wall on the last round and had a very hard time recovering before the next WOD

- After completion of the Burpee Repeatability Test, you must take a 15 Minute Rest before moving onto Test 3

Test 3: Deadlift/Wall Ball Test

7 rounds for time of:

10 Deadlifts @ 175lbs for men, 125lbs for women

15 Wall Balls @ 20lbs to 10ft for men, 14lbs to 10ft for women

11:18

Felt nauseous through this entire WOD- and well afterwards- I have never been that affected by a wod- guess it means I'm finally learning how to push!
