WOD

Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

How it went:

155 then 175F then I did this:










Then 175PR










the rest went 175F - 155 - 155 - 155

I was upset with the first failure at 175. I had made a promise to dedicate a workout to a crossfitter who had posted on the CF message board about her Grandmother's desperate situation - here is the story. So, I dug deep and wrote the words on my palm and with total focus - nailed that PR in her honor.

Gayle - hang in there! You are an inspiration.

That is awesome... way to dig for it.

And I'm very jealous of the equipment.

Thanks Joey - I had reason.

Gayle - I am sorry to hear about your loss - but I do believe you are right in that she is in a better place.

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
