I couldn't justify not going again today. So I crawled out of bed ready to face the music.
But man, that was no fun.
Started with more snatch work. 7 doubles at 75%. Did some at 75#, then a couple at 95#, but it just wasn't happening.
Pulling was hard from the deadlifts on Monday at lunch, and catching was hard from Olympic Lifting class Monday night. So I bailed.
The WOD had running in it so I spent the time rolling my calf.
WOD was 4 rounds for time
- 400m run
- 15 dumbbell thrusters 35# (scaled to 25#, which was too light)
- 12 chest to bar pull ups (scaled to 3 sets of 3 *almost)
First run was okay. Naturally, my mechanics and muscle memory kicked in and I smoked everyone. But the engine ran out of steam quickly. I think I need to do some long runs (in the 16km range) to regain my aerobic capacity. My my calf issue is dealt with that is.
Dumbell thrusters were easy at 25#, during warm up 30# seemed heavy and 20# seemed light, but I think 30# would've been fine, even Rx likely. I went unbroken in every round except the third where I went 10 and 5 after a very short break.
The scaling option for the 12 CTB was whatever you could managed in 3 sets of less. First round I did 3, 3, 2 as I came off the bar prematurely, I would chain 2 reps then without dropping, I'd reset and do a third, but on the last one, I dropped after the 2 chained for some unknown reason. I was about to jump back up to finish if off when I realized my 3 sets were done.
Same thing happened on the second round on the second set. Brain wasn't focused. The rest I just reset between all reps, it was easier. Likely could've done all 12 that way. Oh well.
