17.4 @ Friday Night Lights
181 reps (16 HSPU's) with a tie break time of 9:14.
Deadlifts- 15-10-5-5-5-5-5-5.
WallBall- 5's with short rest.
Row- tried to stay at 800cal.
HSPU's- failed about 3. Legs were shot. So hard.
Very happy to have improved on last year's score by 7 reps and 30 secs on tie break. FNL was a lot of fun- thanks to everyone for the support on the night, especially my teammates Fox and Dan and judge Ryan and of course Coach MeLo for running it. I highly recommend doing this next week if you can.
To me, the repeats are the best part of the Open- it's kind of pointless comparing yourself to other people, since we all have different strengths, and I was a little nervous going in that I wasn't going to do any better this year, since my training has been inconsistent and I've done less well on other benchmarks lately.
But I managed to prove to myself in this instance that I am, indeed, a little fitter than last year, and that's why we do this, right?
Congrats everybody!!
Power Clean and Push Jerk: Worked up to 143#. One attempt at 153#, which might be a max push jerk for me, but had no commitment to it today.
Partner WOD: 16:06 Rx with Joy. Good one to get moving after the open workout yesterday.
Oh, and yesterday: 17.4: 166 Reps with 7:40 tie breaker time. One rep more than last year (a single HSPU) and a faster tie breaker time by 12 sec, I think.
Deadlifts: 25-15-8-7
Wall balls: 15-11-10s-ish…
Row: Averaged out around 1000.
HSPU: Fail to kick-up (which JB called "cute" as I flopped over onto myself), Fail x 4 or 5, 1 make in the last few seconds
Told myself to try to not go too hard so I might have a shot at some HSPUs, but apparently I'm bad at listening to myself. Row just killed my legs and just felt useless at the wall. Did not black out, which I did do last year, though things certainly got a little woozy. Thanks to Jill and Steve for the continued encouragement throughout!
WOW Kayleigh that is FAST!
10 AM with LBFox. Got to 113 on the C&J. It wasn't perfect but it's a damn sight better than that weight has felt before.
WOD with Gene in 14:16 Rx (me). Everything was easy except those dang kipping pullups.
CFSBK–Midwest
WU: 3 minute row 46cal, 743m.
Power Clean and Push Jerk 45×3, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 110, 116, 121 (Had a little press-out on the last one, but all the others were fine)
I blew off the metcon today since Ann took off for a 9 day yoga retreat in Belize on Friday leaving me with solo-parenting of a 2 year-old and a 4 year-old for the next week. I'm going to need all my energy.
10 am w/LBCF. Had a rough go of it. C&Js went up to 175 but weren't dialed in at all. In the second round of the metcon I hit the deck for a burpee and just stayed there for a minute — massive exertion headache, probably something left over from yesterday. Managed to breathe through it and finish Rx'ed at around 16:15, but was pretty shaken up.
Speaking of yesterday, got to 165 reps again in 16.4 redux, and shaved nearly a minute off my tiebreak time from last year. Far from ideal on the deadlifts, though — I really should've just done 11 sets of 5 and focused on form instead of 11-11-8-certain death. Continuous learning experiences, here.
9:30 wakeup/shakeout spin class at monster, then AG today. Back is recovering well but going to stay away from barbells for another week.
Muscle ups are still a work in progress – – at least I got some ideas about what I'm doing wrong today, and some drills to work on outside class… Loved the banded warmups – – #whysohard.
WOD was fine, 8:34 @ 24kg with 5 strict hspu to 1 or 2 mats (alternating on rounds) . First two rounds I managed kipping t2b which is great progress for me! Then they were just… Gone.
Hotel gym workout in Orlando
db push press-
5×25#
5×35#
5×40#
3x5x45#
Metcon:
200 calorie row plus 7 push-ups
every minute starting on the two minute mark.
total row time was 10:58- thankfully saving me
the 10th round of push-ups.
10 w/Fox & Lauren
Power C&J's up to 108# which I'm pretty sure is a PR. Wanted to make one more jump, but ran out of time.
WOD w/April in 14:45 at 65# & jumping pull ups for me. Smacked the sh* out of my shins w/the bar in the 3rd round so stepped out in burpees after that. Jerks got a heavy but such a fun WOD otherwise!
1pm class
Up to 215 on the PC+PJ. Had zero power.
WOD with Steven in 11:03.
Forearms were blown up. I gave up on the last round and broke the power cleans at 6, otherwise all unbroken.
17.4 at Friday Night Lights did not go as well as I would have liked. 9 HSPU which was far worse than last year. I threw up in my mouth a little bit upon my first kick up, and then for real after the workout. That has only happened once to me and it was about 9 years ago… (I might redo it? Who am I?)
