Tuesday AM Workout, 6:00a @ CFC:

Was able to roll out of bed a little before 5:00 to make it to the 6am class. Wanted to get my weigh-in for the challenge as well as make up the last challenge workout.

Strength, 1RM Jerk
185-205-225-245(F)x2

#235 is my PR. #225 went up pretty easily and I was starting to get a little tired so went to #245. First attempt was a losing battle, as I let the weight feel heavy in my head and did a fake dip. Second attempt was a little better--bar was certainly high enough but just didn't drop under. Getting under significant weight is always more of a mental battle and really takes a large amount of aggression--going to do this again down the road in the evening when my strength numbers tend to be better.

Metcon, Performance Challenge #1, Trial 2
3 rounds for time,
15 hang power cleans (#135)
15 burpees

Time: 4:17 (-:03 from 4:20 Trial 1)

A little disappointed as I wanted to get sub-4, but I felt a little light-headed this morning--not sure if I was all the way awake yet. Cleans were 15/6-4-5/5-5-5. Burpees felt sluggish. Sub-4 is possible if I can get more cleans unbroken.

Skipped post-WOD of 2 min handstand hold, saving the shoulders for some Olympic lifting tonight if I can make it back in.

Pre-Challenge Weigh-in: #163
"Mid"-Challenge Weigh-in: #156

Called this morning's weigh-in "mid-challenge" since I need to get down to #152 for the Olympic lifting meet on December 11th.
