11am @ FitBodies

2 x Skill Work
50ft HS Walk
10 x Toes to Bar
2 x 15' Rope Climb

Squat Snatch
(men's bar)
3 x 75
1 x 95
1 x 105
1 x 115
1 x 125
1 x 130
1 x 135

NOTES: This was my first time snatching with a men's bar since I started training my Olympic lifts. I could definitely feel a little difference in my pull. My hook grip wasn't as strong. But it was good training. It's good to get some some unfamiliar equipment in a new setting.

OH Squat
Find Max off Blocks
3 x 95
3 x 125
3 x 145
3 x 165 (PR!)
2 x 175 (PR!!)

NOTES: The final starting weight is 175# in Event 2. I think I might be able to get 3 reps at 175. BUT, I don't know if I would be willing to risk starting at that weight during Regionals. But who knows. I've been feeling really strong lately.

Back Squat
1 x 135
1 x 185
1 x 205
1 x 225
1 x 235

Modified Heavy Jackie
1200m Row
30 Thrusters (65)

TIME: ?
NOTES: I rowed my 1000m in 4:20, and finished the 1200 at 5:15. My legs were smoked from all the lifting. I was also rowing on a machine that was really wobbly (it was literally missing a screw). But, no excuses. I just didn't row that hard. I broke up my 65# thrusters into 15/6/4/5. My legs were really cashed by this point, I was doing this by myself, and I realized I forgot to start a clock. This was not my best performance.

Mile Run

TIME: 7:20
NOTES: This was the first time I've run a mile NOT around the city block outside River North. It felt so great to run on an open trail. I made one giant lap, which was much preferred to 5 laps around the box. I was actually really impressed with my ability to crank this out after a long day of heavy weight training.

I always LOVE working out at FitBodies CrossFit in Bloomington, IL. Tom and Janelle are fabulous owners and they always welcome me home with open arms. I'm really luck to know such great athletes and coaches.  

Cheers to grilling out!
