CrossFit: Save The Tens

Wow, my cleans didn't suck today! Not that this will ever be my best lift, but it felt less like the goat it usually is. I love how all the coaches just go ahead and pair up the Wonder Twins without needing to ask us what weights we're trying to hit anymore.
Fun accessory work. 29, 28, 28, 27 pulls on the erg.
9am with celebrity Crossfit competitor Chris Fox. Worked up to 190lb on the complex. Felt decent pop on the hip clean – more than I usually get from a regular old hand clean. Maybe the partial deadlift helped reinforce something. Split jerks also felt pretty good overall except for the last one that was a little ugly. I was happ to get the first 9 HSPU unbroken, but the remaining 3 sets were broken to shit and I had to scale to 1 abmat during the 3rd round. Took 19, 18, 18, 18 strokes on the rowing piece.

Bummer, thought I had that 270x5x3 this time but failed even earlier than on Thursday. AM sessions have always been harder for me. Same story on the press, first set the last rep got away from me and I thought I had 5 for the next one but no dice. Cleans all went up…clean this time, no failed pulls, so I got that goin' for me. Shit sure gets real at the end of a cycle.

Worked up to 198 on the complex and stayed there for a few reps.
Got 3 rounds in on the AW. 21 pulls each time and 9 strict hspu per round.
only you can prevent ten-icide.
love it.
save the tens was great, and went down a rabbit hole of videos.
i was just thinking that im really excited for the new strength cycle to start wednesday.
but then i realized that back off week has actually been awesome. it's been a great way to dial in form and work on different things that we usually dont concentrate on, and even though maybe we maybe dont lift quite as much, i still felt like i was getting stronger, what with all the pausing and what not.
and then i remembered crush week, which kind of sucked but also really kind of mostly rocked.
and in conclusion: i guess i like all the weeks at cfsbk. so that's pretty cool.
Sharing in Ariel's CFSBK lovin'…
Excuse my cheesiness in advance – I'm still in a happy haze of post-race endorphins.
I've been slacking off on running for the last couple of months for a host of reasons – coming off of training for the NYC Marathon-that-wasn't, starting a new job, it's been insanely freezing, blah blah blah: all of these are excuses. Really, CF has replaced running for me because I like CF so damn much. I had signed up for a 1/2 that I ran today, for which I was sorely undertrained. I went into it thinking that I'd take it easy and just do the best that I could, and that it would be an interesting little physiological experiment to see if CF-ing 3x a week without really running at all could prepare someone for a 1/2 marathon.
Call it asinine or call it crazy that I ran today – definitely more the former, though partially the latter – but not only did I finish with a PR, I didn't hit a wall, experience terrible pain, or even feel that fatigued throughout the whole race.
I entirely credit the strength that I've developed as a result of doing CF with helping me to finish the race. Also, during races, I get really corny and think about how fortunate I am to be able to put one foot in front of the other, and I was also thinking about how lucky I am to be a part of the awesome and totally kickass CFSBK community.
It's time for me to remove the ice from my knees, end my gushing and pass out, but for real, CFSBK – much love.
Save the Tens is pretty great. There could be an add on campaign called Technique Plates: Good Solo, Bad in Crowds about how those plasticky devils get insecure and stressed out when they are with other, bigger bumps and crack under the pressure.

Same as Friday everything felt ungodly heavy when it shouldn't. We'll see how long it takes me to get back in the groove. Thanks to Jenna, Sarah and laurel.
