"When one has made a decision...even if it will be very difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about going at it in a long roundabout way. One's heart may slacken, he may miss his chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way...is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong"

Weekend Recap

Saturday:

10am, CFC:

Bench Press: 3-3-3+ (65/75/85%)

145-165-190(9)

Workout:

800 m run
20 power snatches @ #75
20 burpees
400 m run
10 power snatches
10 burpees
800 m run
20 power snatches
20 burpees

Time: 17:10

Pretty disappointed with this effort. This one would normally play to my strengths, but really just felt sluggish all around. Power snatch weight was pretty light but broke it up too much during the last set and wasn't particularly fast on my reps. Runs were painfully slow, not sure if I was feeling the effects of added weight/strength or a later night on Friday than I had planned. Need to get my metcon back up in time for the FGB and Urbanathlon competitions.


Sunday:

AM, CF Football WOD, 9:40a @ CFC:

15 min AMPRAP of:

3 handstand pushups
5 pullups
7 knees to elbows

13 rounds + 3 handstand pushups

Was shooting for 15 rounds, but grip got fatigued from the back to back forearm movements. Pullups were all butterfly but again felt heavier than normal. KTEs were the hardest part--singles by the end.


PM, 6:00p, Lake Shore Path--60 minute run

Didn't track my splits, but probably averaged at least an 8:00/mile pace. Just wanted to do a longer cardio piece to test the gas tank and prep for the Urbanathlon. Haven't run that far since marathon training last year, so it felt pretty good. Got tired at the last 10 minutes but other than that felt fine and maintained a pretty nice clip.
