Wednesday 2.19.14

It's been over a week since my last post! There wasn't much to blog about last week since I was cutting down on workouts in preparation for the competition on saturday. Which was very successful! Of the three WODs I came in 6th, 3rd and 1st respectively. The top 5 athletes went on to the final WOD which was a 7min ladder (2 reps - 4 reps- 6 reps etc) of 75# snatches and chest-to-bar pull-ups. I went in to the final WOD in 2nd place, but had a difficult time with the C-2-B pull-ups. I think I finished in 4th in the final wod. I finished 3rd place overall! I'm still waiting on the comp pics to be posted on Facebook. Once they are I'll be sure to post them on my blog. I ended up going out with a bunch of amazing folks I met that day from Crossfit Norwalk. They were so welcoming and hospitable! I can't wait to return the favor if they're ever up  in my neck of the woods :)

WODYesterday's (tuesday) 

Strength
Squat Snatch
2-2-2-2-2

worked up to 85#. Probably could have gone heavier but I would have jeopardized my form. Snatches, ugh I hate you!

WOD
100 Double Unders
18 Overhead Squats (95,65)
80 Double Unders
15 Overhead Squats
60 Double Unders
12 Overhead Squats
40 Double Unders

20 Double Unders

10:40 RX. This was my first workout since the competition on saturday. I was tired and everything felt heavy. My double unders felt great, but my endurance wasn't on point. 

WODToday

Skill
Pistol
Weighted Pistol
working on not holding my toes. Can do it, but it's slow! 

WOD
5 Rounds
500m Row
12 Alternating Pistols

18:11 - this WOD felt great! over the course of the day only 4 people did it faster. I'd say that's an accomplishment!
