A Few Rough Days..


I was pretty happy to see that I was 3rd in the metcon overall! Both guys ahead of me are solid crossfitters!

Since the comp, I've been struggling to get back into the gym. Wrestling season is coming to end finally and my son has been teething and getting his appetite back from being sick the last few weeks, so he has been up in the middle of the night a few times. Getting up early and making it to DP has been extremely tough. I'm hoping to get home early tonight from the Regional seeding meeting and try and make it in tomorrow finally. I've been feeling okay otherwise. My wrist has been bugging me all week from all the stress it endured on Saturday at the comp so it's probably a good thing I've been laying low. 

Even though I've been laying low I have managed to do a few things here in there at school. 

School Work
DUs
8-32-148 PR!!-30-109
- I was just working on my mechanics and trying to stay in one spot. I hit some nice strings though. Pretty excited about the 148!! Had trouble gettin' the hips going getting started. It's getting easier and easier to find a solid groove and relax while jumping.

10 Muscle Ups FT:
3-1-F-1-1-F-1-1-F-2
= 6:02
- These were rough with the wrist thing bothering me. Don't know if it was a smart move to do them or not. I had to work a little more to get em than usual. Couldn't really get a decent false grip because the wrist so there was a lot of movement in the hands. 

STC
2 x 5
- I was tired and these were tough today, which really showed me how tired I was. 


Snuck into Prevail...
Strength
Back Squat --- 65%x8x1, 70%x8x1, 75%x6x1, 80%x6x1
Bar(10)-135(8)-185(8)-225(8)-265(8)---295-320-342-365
- As if I was gonna miss a back squat day!! psshh!! I snuck in with the fam while Juls wodded. Got some strength in at least. This was heavy and I was tired, but it was solid work. I based the percentages off of my 1RM from Saturday since this was only the 2nd week of the the cycle. If I was further into the cycle I definitely wouldn't do that. Had to work for the last few reps, but definitely glad I did it. 

Back at School...
20m PACER test (cardio test we use for PE) = 66
- I've eaten like crap the last two days because I'm weak and can't say no a Chocolate cake donut from Morke's Chocolate factory or the ton of Jewish/Italian pastries brought in to the lounge this week. So in lieu of that I at least decided to do the Pacer test that my kids were doing today. My score was terrible in my book. My legs were stiff and heavy from squatting yesterday. I wanted to run to try and give my wrist a break and loosen the legs up a bit. The more I ran the stiffer and heavier they got. Oh well...something is better than nothing! 


DP....I'm coming baby...I miss ya!!
