2k, schmoo kay

Well I didn't hit the 245# I was gunning for.  I definitely could have gone heavier, but not much more.  I was really light headed and hungry.  My back didn't hurt at all, but was weak and got tired fast.  I didn't want to push to the point where I was going to round even slightly. 

Deadlift 3-3-3
165-185-205#
Then 21-15-9
Kettlebell Swings 16kg
Burpees
4:20

Shoulders were tired!!! Should have pushed harder in my burpees.  I need to get used to being uncomfortable and then push through it. 

Tonight was 2k row night.  Oh man, about 300m in I was thinking, "why did I do this?"  made the remaining 1700m really long.  I learned some new techniques to rowing, to use my legs more and work on my return.  I don't know what my 2k time was previously, all I have written down is PR back in June(?).  Jenna thinks sub 8min so my 8:05.9(?) tonight disappointing.

Fran and a Rant

I'm still running around busy as usual and not really training. I have been having trouble in my front squats. The right side of my back feels like its about to blow when I hit 195# in sets of three. The first one goes alright but the next two are frightening. I haven't gone up in weight for fear I will really pull something. Plus its really hard! I am pretty sure I have done over 205# for three to five. But I also thought that was on vimeo but I guess that was only like 165# or 175# so maybe I really haven't done sets at 205. Hmmm. I set a max pullup record. Old record was like 11 or 12, got 16 the other day. I think I could have done more if I regripped a little better but I lost it and fell off. I am still horrible at pullups. And finally I attempted "Fran" today (21-15-9 reps of 65# thrusters and pullps for time) I was dreading this. I can't even remember the last time I did this I think it has been over 6 months but I know my time was 6:46. I was hop...

This was AWESOME!

I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself.  Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing.  So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh  I wish I had pointed my toes.  The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop.  You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again....
