Spring Break WOD 12.3

Juls & I got away with Pip for a running WOD at a local elementary school this morning. Took yesterday off and just relaxed. I enjoyed a nice evening at Downtown Disney with my two lovely ladies. They danced their butts off with the live DJ and had I blast watching em!

Spring Break WOD 12.3
4 rounds FT:
 450ishM run
 5 Strict HSPUs (all UB)
 25 squats (UB/UB/11-14/5-20)
 50 DUs (UB/??/??/9-41)
= 20:54
-This was a good one for me. The runs were a little tougher than I thought they would be. The first one felt great. The second was probably my longest because I zoned out and that round was pretty much a blur. My butt started to tighten up pretty good by the third. The fourth I started moving a little faster just because I wanted to be done already.
- The HSPUs were cake. I should have raised the reps to 8-10.
- The squats got tough in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I wanted to push through that lactic threshold as best I could. I was hoping to go UB on all 4 sets, but I needed to shake em out once in the last 2 rounds.
- DUs were good except for the 2nd and 3rd round. My 1st and 4th were no problem, but those middle rounds gave me all kinds of problems. The 2nd round I know I had 4 or more misses. The 3rd I struggled from 1-30ish and I remember ripping a 10 or more to finish the set. Legs were dead in the middle rounds, but came back to me in the 4th.

Got my 3rd WOD while on vacation so I'm pumped about that. I plan on getting one more in on Friday and then it's back home Saturday morning. Looking forward to getting under a barbell soon.

Loving The Weather

 Woke feeling good this morning! Actually I was lucky to wake up at all. I was pretty comfy in bed and I got a FB update on my phone that woke me up. DP was the only option today for working out so I had to get up and go. Weather was great outside...low 60s at 5am in March in Northern IL.....LOVING IT!!!

Strength
Front Squats --- 5@70%, 4@80%, 3@85%, 3@90%
bar(8)-135(8)-185(5)-225(5)---255 - 292 x 3 - 310 - 330
- Had a tightness in my lower back that I just couldn't get rid of. I stretched and did my back exercises and just couldn't loosen it up. I felt it at 225 at the bottom. It got worse at 255. At 292 it wasn't any worse then 255, but I knew it wasn't right and I was losing a little power out of the hole so I threw in the towel at 3 reps. It's just not worth it.
- I have felt fine throughout the rest of the day. I think it was just one of those things that has been making it hard for me to workout in the morning. My body just needs a little more time to get loose after jumping out of bed.

WOD
750m Row
3 rounds of:
  15 wall balls (20#)    (all UB)
  10 C2D Push Ups     (all UB)
  200m Run
= 8:44
- Don't know what my row time was exactly. I got off the rower and headed downstairs and it was two minutes and some change on the clock. Row was nice and smooth. Held my s/m at 28 with some good powerful pulls and felt great leg and lung wise coming off.
   Rx was 10 wall balls. I added 5 more just to get a little extra work in on them. Tried to keep a nice steady pace and make sure my depth was unquestionable and hit the stinkin' wall every time, which I did. Felt pretty good about these today.
   C2D had my shoulders burning by midway through the 2nd round. The 3rd round was tough and I was happy I pushed through it and didn't break them up.
   Shoulders were pretty tight on all the runs, but my legs felt great. Really tried to stay loose and pick the pace up on these. Deb and Michelle were right on my tail during these, which was great to push me a little faster.
   All in all a good WOD for me.

Cash Out
Rested about 1:30-2:00 after finishing the WOD and started chipping away at 90 DUs. Missed 3 times at 9, 56, and 70ish. Felt good though despite the misses. Walked upstairs and worked on M Ups a bit with Deb & Michelle. Pulled out a couple of doubles, which I was pretty happy with after yesterday's AMRAP.
