12/2/12

Today was a great day. I was sore throughout my arms and chest, but felt decent on the WODs today. I placed much higher today than yesterday.

Event 4
3 RFT:
400m Run
30 Burpees
15 Snatch (135#)

16.05. 6th place. I was happy to place this high in this WOD. It was brutal. I paced the running and burpees and tried to link the snatches as much as possible. Very solid effort.

Rest 90 minutes then...

Event 5:
3 RFT:
90 Double-under (must rest in between sets as much as the set took you)
-Athletes can choose to do reps of shoulder-to-overhead (135#) in the rest intervals, each completed rep is 1 second off the total time. I missed two of the 270 double-unders. I chose not to do any shoulder-to-overhead until the last rest interval. I busted out two unbroken sets of 10. I came in 8th place with a total time of 5.03. Interesting workout, not necessarily a real test of fitness, but I was happy to have a game-plan, stick to it and place well in a 'tricky' workout like this. This definitely has to be gamed to place well.

A really fun day. I felt much better about today than yesterday. I got my confidence back today, the 24th or 26th finish yesterday was not a good feeling. I know my weaknesses and I'm working them, it just takes time. Overall happy about my performance. Outside of my push-ups giving out in a 20 minute AMRAP, I gave a very consistent performance over the weekend.
