Did a team (M/F) competition today (“The Ship” in Honolulu) … we were in the master’s category … I was NOT planning on doing this and had just trained 5 days in a row … my parnter was a bit older and really just doing this for fun, we had a great time and gave our best … I was planning on keeping today as some easy bodybuilding, but this was fun to get in and a low/stress fun way to spend the day with great people. Took 5th place of 15 masters teams, which was fun.
Floater Event (0730)
AMRAP 6:
9 Partner Deadlifts (385#)
9 Synchro Toes-to-Bar
-6th place / 70 reps ... we had a few misses for lack of syncrho on the toes-to-bar, which was frusturating, but overall we did what we could … T2B are my partner’s biggest weakness and we just stuck to her pace, kept 5/4 the entire time until the last set where we went to failure.
Event 1 and 2 (0850)
Event 1
2-2-2-3 Intervals @ 1 Min Rest
21 Pull-ups + 21 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30”
15 Pull-ups + 15 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30”
9 Pull-ups + 9 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30”
9 Pull-ups + 9 Thrusters (95/65#) - each partner completes both movements before doing max BBJO at 30”
-6th place … don’t remember the exact BBJO, but we got 6th place
Event 2 (Immedietly after Event 1)
EMOM 8 (first 4 min women, second 4 min men)
1 Squat Clean, cannot go down in weight, for total weight across 4 sets
-I went 255#, 270#, 270#, 295# for a total of 1090 … took 1st place in the event overall. The scores were only against each gendered category and scored as its own event … my partner got 10th in this event.
Event 3 (1230)
For time (split any way)
160 Double-Unders
80 Wall-Balls (20/14#)
40 Cal Row
120 Double-Unders
60 Wall-Balls (20/14#)
30 Cal Row
-2nd place - 10:54 … first place was only 2 seconds ahead of us, which was frusturating.
This was our plan:
110ish DU - Doug
50 DU - Rachel
60 WB - Doug
20 WB - Rachel
40 cal row - Doug
Max DU - Rachel
Remaining DU - Doug
15ish WB - Rachel
Remaining WB and Row - Doug
We did this plan except one deviatation, where we had one extra wall-ball transition during the set of 60 … it might have cost us the win, but maybe not … I think overall I needed that little break from the WB to the final row and might have gone slower without the break? Who knows, sucks to not win an event by 2 seconds!
Event 4 (final - only top 5 teams) (1430)
For time:
3-5-7-9-11
Bar Muscle-ups (synchro to top of partner’s snatch)
Snatch (135/95#) (synchro to top of partner’s bar MU)
-We went into this in 5th place overall … took 5th of 5 … my partner unfortunately couldn’t do bar MU, so we didn’t get past the round of 3 … but I did my 3 while she snatched.
