Sasquatch (in honor of Cal): 35#, failed on 40# (practicing this move wore me out for the higher weights)
WOD: 15:09 @40#. I see “3 rounds,” I figure, no problem!! Definitely, definitely felt this, though. Mandy and CFSV kicked my butt this morning – what can I say, got my money’s worth. 🙂
My first class with all PARENTS!
“sleepless parents” by the way….
you parents are my heroes!!!!! good thing james and i weren’t there to ruin the special class 🙂
WOD: 14 even. The “parents” break went over my head, but maybe it’s because I was so worked from the WOD! I’ll echo your “3 rounds” comment Hillary – I’m beat. Nice work 530!
Rx too*
snatch: dropped one at 115# so stayed there for technique work
wod: 11:10 rx.
In the future, if anyone ever happens to overhear me saying something along the lines of “I think I’m going to take a break from crossfit to focus more on (x)”, please kick me in the balls. Like you mean it. Though it may not seem like it in the moments that follow, I really would appreciate it. Thanks.
done.
Duly noted. I’ll let you choose my side kick or back kick before it happens 😉
Random post: My friend is a recruiter representing of of the MudPit/RunThroughFire race companies. The posted job titles are: The job titles are email campaign specialist, social media engagement manager and senior manager, digital aquisition strategy. I thought this might be awesome for some of you weirdos. Let me know if youre interested.
Snatch: 85# This was definitely PR. Maybe by 85# or so. Not sure.
WOD: 11:41rx I have a new technique for rowing. Watch out.
Snatch: …….it’s getting there.
WOD: 9:17 Rx
Ok. Today was fucking awesome. Yosh, just a huge heartfelt thank you. I expected to stay at 35# today and work in form. Squat snatch means landing in an OHS. most of you know how much trouble I have with OHS. Well today the form clicked. Yosh fixed my grip. Wider, but not TOO wide. My New Balances may have also helped with their slight incline (much more “oly-like”) I set my grip up each time in the crease of my hips like Mandy once taught me and fixed my stance as Yosh instructed … so i squat snatch the bar and then all of a sudden I hear Yosh saying “beautiful” – I assumed he was talking to someone else but then I realized it was me and that the move felt right. So I kept going!! I kept going up to 70# ….!!! I kept losing 70# right at the top until that very last one with one last tip from Yosh: “you’re keeping your shoulders tight but keep your abs tight too!” Yosh: so so so many thanks you really don’t know how much this means to me. I LANDED IN A FUCKING 70# OHS AHHHHHHHHH!!
Then I rx’d the WOD in 12:13 and puked. Fun!
Party til you puke!
