Open WOD 12.5

Totally different feeling going into this one. I've been anxious all weekend to get this over with partly because I wanna be done with the Open WODs and mostly because I wanted it to be 2:31p on Friday afternoon so my SPRING BREAK can officially began!! I've been doing all the Open WODs on Sundays and I had a nice routine going. I felt rested on those mornings and focused from the start. Doing it Thursday evening had a different feeling to it to say the least. I was thinking about it while at school. Felt good about getting it done on the way to Palatine to pick up the kids, but by the time I got to the gym from Palatine I was pretty wiped and had lost all enthusiasm to WOD. Charlie decided to suffer with me instead watch me,  which I was very grateful for.

Open WOD 12.5
7:00 AMRAP
 3 Thrusters (100#)
 3 C2B Pull Ups
 6 Thrusters
 6 C2B Pull Ups
 9s, 12, 15, ....
= 111 reps (Completed round of 15 + 18 thrusters + 3 pull ups)
- Last year, I only completed 55 reps. I did all the my thrusters UB, but spent a ton of time trying to do pull ups. I had no goal, except to do better. I gave no thought to a game plan because I just wanted to move and I didn't want to think. Moving is just what I did! I felt great. I kept my thrusters UB til 15 (broke it into 2 sets) and broke up 18 into 3 sets (should have been 2). I saved my energy on C2B from the jump and broke em into quick doubles and triples. The round of 15 I think was almost entirely singles. I felt great throughout this entire workout for the most part. The pain didn't set in til I stopped moving. As soon as the WOD stopped, my quads just swelled and that hurt! My heart rate took quite awhile to slow down. In the end, I was extremely pleased with the result. My only regret is that I didn't attack some of the other WODs the same way. I hate game planning WODs. Just something to think about for next year.
I signed up last year so that I would be able to see how much I improved in a year. Last year I finished some where in the thousands. This year I finished 502 and Prevail finished 64th as a team after only being open for a few months.  I couldn't be more happy with my progress. I can't wait to see what another year brings!
