Mid-week, I LOVE CROSSFIT

I am in a great mood this week with CrossFit.

Tuesday I came in early but knew I had to bail out at 6 for my brother's last dinner at home. But I was eager to try to rack Jerks and see how I progressed since last time I had maxed this out.

I went with 135 for some warm ups. The for my singles I did:
165, 195, 215, 235 (tie), 240 PR...

The 235 and the 240 were really really ugly.. sloppy to stand them up.. But they both "counted".. PRs are rarely pretty as I always say.. But this was fun.. Quick day.. This almost felt like a skill/rest day because I was legit done in 20 minutes and didn't even feel too taxed, all things considered. Posted one video from the 215 rep which was clean up top, and then the 235, the camera ran out of battery for my 240, oh well..

Wednesday was weird.. I came in early with the intention of doing "Jackie" before class.. I tried to get loose for a while and it was not happening.. I kept mobilizing but the class at 6 started to funnel in and I was chatting with Adam about how I like to pace the WOD when I had done it before. We checked Eddie and Jake's times and decided those were to be the ones to beat. My previous PR was 7:12 back in November and I knew I did the thrusters in a set of 40/10 that day and was shitty on the pull ups..

My plan was to pace the row the same (aim for the 3:30s somewhere) and hit the thrusters in a little smaller sets and save some juice to knock out a lot of pull ups quickly.
I ended up rowing a 3:33, hopped right off, did the thrusters in a set of 25, 10, then 15 to finish. Then I butterflied the first 20 pull ups quickly. Got right back on and kipped 4, 2, 2, 2 to finish when I was totally zonked.

Low and behold, new PR. 6:56 Rx'd.. This hurt a LOT.. my hands were shaking for like 30 minutes afterward.

If I could somehow do this unbroken I bet I could do it in like 6:20.. That would be bananas.. Something to strive for next time.

Looking forward to the rest of the week.
