3/1/15

Friday 2/27/15 - First run through at 15.1. 

Crossfit Games 2015 Open 15.1:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 9 minutes of:
15 Toes to Bars
10 Deadlifts (115/75 lbs)
5 snatches (115/75 lbs)

When the clock hits 9:00…

Against a 6-minute running clock, find your 1-RM Clean and Jerk

-Over-paced the AMRAP a little bit. Got 169 reps and a 291# clean and jerk. I was happy with that clean and jerk, was a big effort. My 1 RM is 305# and 291# is over what my 1 RM was last year. So to see progress on this lift is great. I knew I had a lot more in me on the AMRAP though, rested up Saturday and gave it again on Sunday.

Sunday 3/1/15 - 15.1 again. 

-Paced the AMRAP much better. Got 190 reps, which I was happy with that improvement. My clean and jerk felt much worse today. I didn't feel as solid on my jerks. Went 245#, 276# and then 296# (failed). Failing that jerk on 296# was extremely frustrating. I really wanted it, but I fucked it up and it just wasn't there.

I will probably submit Friday's score in order to contribute a top 3 15.1A score for my gym's regional team ... either of my 15.1 scores would not be top 3 in the gym ... lots of small metcon guys in my gym, not so much big lifters.

This is not a good start to the Open. I am really pissed about missing that jerk, that is a lift I should be able to hit. But I have a million and one other obligations to take care of in my life, have to just put week one behind me and wait until 15.2.
