OH squats & met con @CFD

OH squat work:
5 x 65, 5 x 75, 5 x 85


Prescribed WOD was 500m row, 150 double-unders and 50 burpees.

I scaled it to: 500m row, 50 box step-ups (20"), 100 sandbag heaves*
Time: 9:03

* I grabbed the smallest sandbag, started at my left knee and lifted it overhead in an arc to my right knee. That counted as 1 rep.

Deadlifts, OH Squats @CFD

21-15-9
Deadlift (135#)
OH Squat (45#)
Time: 4:44

Both weights were under 50% of my 1RMs... maybe I should have gone heavier? The deadlifts were pretty tough as it was though... killing my lower back!

NorCal Sectionals!

10:40 - WOD B
(800m run and as many 75 lb OH squats as possible in 6 minutes)
I finished the run in about 3:30 and got 14 squats - way better than the 6 squats I managed last Saturday! (The winner of the event got 47.)

2:40 WOD A
(10 min of 7 thrusters, 12 KB swings, 7 ctb pull-ups)
I got 3 rounds + 7 +12 + 4 - had a hard time getting my chest to the bar on the last set up pull-ups and had about half my reps discounted. Alas! (Three women tied for first in that event with 6 rounds + 2 thrusters.)

I came in 72 out of 125 = 57th percentile.
I feel pretty good - I think I put in my best effort, and I'm definitely inspired by the women who finished above me. It would have been nice to compete on Sunday too - partly because it's neat to workout with everyone, and partly because I paid $100 to go - but I didn't make the cut. Next year, right?

Nancy

Uf da. Just finished Nancy.

Warm-up: 10 minute neighborhood run.

Five rounds for time of:
400 meter run (10 mph on treadmill)
15 Overhead squats (45#, maybe)

Total time: 18:50

I'm not sure how much my bar weighed - it's the wiggly kind (curl barbell?) - and I added a pair of 10# plates to it. The squats weren't too hard - I should go up 10# next time.

The first few 400s felt okay, but the fourth one was tough, and my legs felt like Jell-O by the fifth.
