Did my first competition post-TBS ... and in a very long time generally ... haven't competed since being injured in early 2015 ... which is crazy to think about how much time has gone by ... but I was really happy with my performance and where my fitness was at today. This was a 4 person competition (2 M/2 F)/ We were consistent with 12, 11 and 10th place finishes ... for an 11th place of 70 teams overall. Really fun on the National Mall in DC.


A.
10:30 AM
20 minutes to establish 4 complexes (any style clean/snatch permitted)

Complex 1: (must be completed by 1 male and 1 female)
1 Clean + 3 Front Squats + 1 Jerk

Complex 2: (must be completed by 1 male and 1 female)
1 Snatch + 1 Hang Snatch + 2 OHS


-I did the snatch event ... hit 185# 205# and 225# ... 225# was my goal for the day ... loaded up 235# because we could only take 10# jumps ... got the snatch, but missed the hang snatch. Overall felt very good on this complex. Our team took 12/70 on the event ... our worst finish of the day.

1:30 PM


With a partner, partners alternating rounds:

 AMRAP 9
6 Ground to OH (105#/155#)
6 Burpees over the bar


Rest 2 minutes

 AMRAP 9
8 Alt Pistols
12 KBS (53/70#)
30 Double Unders


-I think we got 12+ rounds on the first AMRAP and just shy of 8 rounds on the second AMRAP. This was by far the most brutal workout of the day... It was extremely hot out and I was pushing myself to another level of intensity that I rarely ever achieve. It was really fun to push myself and go as hard as I possibly could. 10/70 place.
