Today, like yesterday, was a very disappointing day. Changed my strategy around, and actually performed 1 rep worse on 13.4. Considering my elbow injury I need to swallow my pride and understand that I haven't been able to train this movement enough this year (between August and January I literally wasn't training any overhead barbell movement from the rack position). 

Rested 20 minutes after another go at 13.4 and did the following: 

For time, with a 20# vest: 

330m run, 20 x Pull-ups
660m run, 20 x Pull-ups, 50 x Push-ups
990m run, 20 x Pull-ups, 50 x Push-ups, 75 x Sit-ups
1320m run, 20 x Pull-ups, 50 x Push-ups, 75 x Sit-ups, 100 x Squats
990m run, 20 x Pull-ups, 50 x Push-ups, 75 x Sit-ups
660m run, 20 x Pull-ups, 50 x Push-ups
330m run, 20 x Pull-ups


68:08. Last time I did this, about a year ago, it was with a 25# vest and and the running distances were a little different. This added in more running, but #5 less of weight. Ended up being a very solid workout. Was a good way to blow off some steam. I'm extremely frustrated with my performance on 13.4 and I need to focus more on what's important in life (law school/leading Marines) than Crossfit; a strange sport that 99% of people don't even know exists. I went as hard as I could, what else can you do? In the coming months/training year once I'm back 100% from this injury I'm going to hit this workout/energy system until I score 108+ reps. 

The weather is getting nicer, OCS is coming and I'm falling back in love with endurance training. Pumped for the coming months!
