SWOD- Push ups, Pistol practice

I set up for push ups with the plates and abmat set up like at a competition and did sets of 20,15,15,15,15 for my 5 working sets and did sets of 5 on each leg for pistols on a 15 plate..

Good practice, nothing earth shattering..

WOD-
21-15-9
Cal row
OHS 95#
Burpees

Time- 9:15 Rx'd

This felt good to do actually.. This is the best OHS have felt for me in a long while..

Do I realize my stance was a bit too wide and probably 10 reps were not competition standard? Sure.. But is still felt good to just put the weight overhead and rep some squats out.. Staring my goat in the face..
Burpees and rowing were fine.. Probably could have gone a bit faster, but I was worried about losing any gas for the OHS cuz they freak me out in WODs when my core goes and I start to miss reps..
Post WOD.. Rest 2 minutes.. Then 2 min max deadlifts at 225..

275 was the Rx weight.. But my back was iffy after DLs Wednesday night so I scaled off a bit.. Got 15 reps..

I was honestly so gassed from the last 9 reps of each from the first WOD I was total garbage for the DLs.. I can usually do like 15 reps in a row on 225 in 30 seconds.. So the fatigue was certainly interesting to deal with..

This sucked horribly.. So much running.. The running kicked the crap out of my lungs and forced me to stop quite a bit during the second 2 rounds of KBS when I probably should have been able to do a lot of them in a row.. The Pull ups were meh today, should have had a little more in me.. But whatever..
Very challenging workout..
