Open WOD 12.2

Woke feeling great! Back was a little tight, but nothing some moving around couldn't fix. Kids spent the night at Opa & Oma's place so I got plenty of rest. Showed up to Prevail ready to do work! Signed up for Heat 5. Took me all 4 heats to get ready. Between cheering and warming up I was feeling really good.

- Initially, I was very frustrated! I walked out the back door of the gym and blew up. My initial goal was 75, after tinkering around with the weight the last few days I thought 80 was definitely doable. I had a good game plan. I got through the first 30 right where I wanted to be at 1:40-45. Weight switch and started the 135 with 8:00 left. I went out at 5-5 and either 5 or 3-2 for the first 15. The plan was to do steady singles originally. The multiples wore me out pretty good. I lost time on the last 15. My plan was to start the 165 by 4:00, but I didn't get started til 3:00. At that point I was going for 75, trying to push for 80 just wasn't gonna happen. I missed 2-3 reps and those reps eventually cost me the goal.
After cooling off, I feel a little better about my score, but still not satisfied. Glad I was able to at least be a scorer for our team on this one. I was very happy with my technique though. All the reps felt solid. Not a whole lot of pressing out, some, but not a lot. Legs were too shot to even attempt a full drop on any of them. Not blaming this one on my back. I just didn't have what I thought I had.


**Best part of this WOD was watching some amazing performances by other members of CF Prevail!!

Dean Roberts set it off in Heat 1 snatching 135#s 9 times, which happens to somewhere near 90+% of his bodyweight! It was amazing! He only had 3-5 misses at that weight...very inspiring!!

Kirsten Glaw was just as impressive in Heat 4. She hit 72. Her technique is awesome and her last second rep to hit 72 was frickin' sweet!

Brandon Harvey's 65 was all guts! Each rep at 165# was a perfect Snatch to bottom with a tough squat out!

Hannah Friedel's 79 topped the night off! She came in later in the day after work and put on a show! That girl turned into a machine at 100#. She just kept grinding and grinding and grinding!

Hannah and Kirsten continue to put Prevail on their back and keep us climbing up the leaderboard. Hopefully, the boys can step up and help out through these last 3 WODs.
