In the BOX

After TWO days off from CF I always feel great in the gym!
This weekend I ran three miles- took my like 26 minutes, 8:15 pace. I just ran around town with Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, no big deal :) the Lady Gaga radio station on Pandora is seriously the BEST pace setter if you wanna get in a good run. I felt pretty tired after the throwdown wod on Thursday.

THURSDAY
Throwdown WOD
this was the last throwdown WOD before the live competition next Saturday the 18th!
and it went like this.......
With the clock running continuously
1 min AMRAP wall balls (I got 36)
2 min AMRAP walking lunges with a 25# plate OH (I got 50)
3 min AMRAP rowing for calories (43)
3 min to find a 1RM floor to shoulder (a clean, duh)

I had been working with Ben on Tuesday a little on cleans and worked on them some more before hand and was able to clean 130# (my current 1RM) and during the WOD ran out of time to try 130# so I got 120 for my score.
Add up the reps and lbs for your clean to get score. MINE=246.
Glad this little fun business was over! Competitions help me to push myself when competiting against others but sometimes hometown throwdowns can be a bit of a cluster cuss. If ya know what I mean....unless you live in Orange county with a shitload of games athletes. haha

Today at the GYM I did the mainsite WOD first:
5 rounds for time
Run 800m
9 muscle ups

I cant do muscle ups consistently yet. I did do one before the wod today when I was warming up to see how it felt. It wasnt the prettiest thing you've ever seen. I did jumping muscle up progression for the WOD. Which I felt like was too easy :/ I am in a weird spot right now with muscle ups. I am going to start making myself do false grip pullups in my warm up and negatives so I can get stronger at them quicker. I want to be able to do them in a WOD! Right now they need some tailoring because they're kind of looking like a natural disaster! I wore my Vibrams today because I stepped in dog poop in my new CF shoes (just lovely) and I think my calves are going to sore little puppies after all those 800's! 

After the WOD I did an 8 min AMRAP of:
7 OH squats at 95 lbs
14 toes to bar
21 KB swings- 53 lbs

MY SCORE 2 rounds plus 1 OH squat

This WOD was an outlaw crossfit WOD. It was tough but I have never felt that good with OHS and 53lb KB swings! I think Im going to give partial credit to the fact that I had two days off this weekend AND to the fact that I have been eating paleo for 36 days now! I really felt great! We'll see how I feel at the end of this week after doing many days of CF AND the throwdown competition, which is going to consist of 3 WODS in one day :/ We'll see!

Sectionals starts a week from Wednesday! :)

Today I got a 5 lb PR on my snatch too. It is still pretty low but I snatched 95#! Thank you Benjamin! :) and I did 165 double unders in a row!  New goal is to get 200 in a row.
