Early March Shenanigans and the Opens..

March 2
Running Cindy

Partnered with Paul on this one.

I believe we got 24 Rounds + ~20 reps or so.. I was part way through a round of squats when time was called.
Frankly, this would be an amazing Cindy score. I think my PR alone is just over 22, so to add two entire rounds of this with the running exhaustion added in is pretty impressive.
However, the run definitely saved your arms on the push ups, as I did almost all of my rounds with all 10 unbroken, which never happens on actual Cindy. I think I did 13+ Rounds and Paul did 11.

March 3 - Rest Day

March 4 -
Squat Clean 1-1-1-1-1
I worked up from 185.. then 205-215-225-235-245..
245 was a struggle to stand up so I stopped to leave some gas in the tank for the WOD.

Elizabeth - 21-15-9 Squat Clean 135 and Ring Dips
Time - 7:24 RXd. PR by over a minute. I was in shambles after this workout. I hate it so much. High rep squat cleans annhilate my legs and core so badly.

March 5
Strongman stuff - messed with some stones, nothing to report. I can lift the 170 lb one easier than I used to be able to. b ut no quantifiable data on that.

I went to do Annie.. got through 50/50 and then 40.. and went to do sit up number 1 on the set of 40 sit ups and my ab cramped. Game over. Oh well. Next time. I was dehydrated and stupid. Shit happens.

March 6
Pull Ups
5x Max reps strict, 90 sec rest
16-11-8-8-8
Not bad, not great. Is what it is. I would like to get over 10 every time but my lats were tired by the end.

Make it Rain - Burpee Box Jumps and HPSnatch 75#.
AMRAP 6 - 7 Rounds _ 1 rep
AMRAP 3 - 8 Rounds
Total Gasser, fun workout though.


March 7
The Incredible Hulk
I enjoyed this. It was a little hectic with weight changing, but by and large it was fun.
I stayed at a manageable weight for everything and tried out the chains on my back squats which was fun.
I think I did 245+ chains for back squats, so total 290 with variation.
For split jerks I stuck around 215-225 for most of the 30 minutes
For deadlifts I took it easy and never went over 345, oh well. Saved my legs for elsewhere. And I knew we had heavy snatches on Sat so I tried to save my pos-chain.

Friday - BIG rest day.. open 13.1 tomorrow.

Saturday- Open WOD 13.1
My plan heading into this (in my nerd brain)
40 Burpees - 3 minutes.. about 13 per minute, very casual pace
30 light snatches at 75, 2 minutes or so.. 5 unbroken every 20 seconds
30 burpees - about 2.5 minutes, about 12 or so per minute, slowing down a little
30 snatches at 135.. I figured about 5 minutes was possible. My Isabel time is 2:40, so this would be half speed with the fatigue of burpees and snatches, and the pressure of changing the weights out.
20 Burpees - maybe 2 minutes, whatever I had left..
This should have left me about 2.5 minutes with the 165 bar.
I went slower than I thought and by the time I changed the weights and got ready I had about 90 seconds with the 165 bar. I ended up with 9 reps which is 9 more than I could do last year. I am happy.
The reps were semi-ugly power snatches with wide landing, but they all would count in competition, but I would not have enjoyed them as a pretty rep for strength work.



Sunday March 10

Monday March 11
The J Team WOD for Jess and Jordan. Horrible. Miserable. Sweaty. Loved it.
