With only one other Crossfit workout this week, there was no way I was missing this one. I had done some solid lifting and a successful run, but not nearly enough Crossfit.
Showed up on time and did some bretzels to get things going.
We started with 5 singles of power snatch at 80-85% of max snatch followed by 5 singles of power cleans at 80-85% of max clean.
I aimed for 115# on the power snatches and 175# on the power cleans.
My weight is forward on the snatches, I'll have to work on that at a lighter weight. Cleans were good. I like full cleans better than power cleans.
We spent a good 35 minutes on the lifting, taking long breaks between lifts. Looking forward to the Olympic lifting classes starting next Monday.
The WOD was a short couplet for 3 rounds:
- 15 lateral over bar burpees
- 15 power snatch @ 115#/75#
I decided to use women's Rx. I think it gave me the intended stimulus.
Finished first for once, 10 minutes flat. Didn't stick to my game plan of breaking everything at 5 reps even when I felt strong in the first round, might have been faster if I had. Autopilot kicked in and I was at 10 burpees before I realized I'd gone past 5, same on the power snatch, go to 7 by the time I realized. After that first round screw up I was on plan, but the burpees had taken their toll.
I was nice to be in the mix for once. But part of me think I should have put 95# on the bar instead of 75#.
