SHORTY

New Snatch PR of 135# ! Old PR was 131# or 132# And this time I actually got underneath it, i did take a few tries but I got it. Only 100 more pounds for body weight snatch. ha! Unfortunately. between this, some slight soreness from Monday's deadlifts and that mornings massage I only got 155# in the clean and jerk. I cleaned 165#, but was just plain ol' shot after that. The jerk was just not flowing. So I called it early. Next time I would like to get 180# or 185!# Wishful thinking :)

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...

So much has been going on! Its been so busy its hard to even workout! Some highlights over the last three months are: Lost ring dip all together, due to some shoulder issues. :( Attended a CrossFit Kids Cert in Ramona California in August. Completed "Grace" as Rx'd (30 clean and jerks for time usi ng 135#) in 6min 27 sec. I want sub six next time! Quit working for Farmers Ins, should have done that long ago! Attended CrossFit Nutrition Cert with Robb Wolf here in town. Learned a lot! Started a personal Paleo diet challenge due to Nutrition Cert. Attended my first Olympic lifting meet in October (unsanctioned)! Setting a PR in the Snatch at 60 kgs or 132# (I totally power snatched it too! oops). Previously was 115#, I hadn't gone up in weight one because I don't practice very much and two I know I can power snatch it, it is catching it in the full squat I haven't figured out yet. I also set a PR in the Clean and Jerk with 80kg or 176#. ...

090816 21-15-9 Deadlift 165# Pullup Box Jum 12:24 I had a hard time pushing in this, I was extremely frustrated by the dl and pull ups. the only grip i like on the pullups was tearing the crap out of my hands. I can hold on another way but could only do one at a time. I was unpleasant to be around after this one. Saw District 9 last night, that was interesting. I wish I had gone to an earlier showing so I could keep focus, but it was good. I liked that it wasn't in the US, its hard to explain but worth a night out. Need to get a grasp on my diet, its all over from one meal on the zone to a day so not on the zone. I am going to be a train wreck at the Montana State Games. 090815 Went to the "ridge run" to watch some friends and athletes. I fear I said some stupid things like, "I'd do it if we had a group" "Lets do a 5k race with a group" "yeah that would be fun!" There was a lot of sun and I had a beer didn't have ...

My brother and his wife were visiting, her first trip to MT! So we did the ultimate tourist thing, water rafting! I hadn't done this before, it was so much fun!!! I am in the purple on the right, Kimberly is across from me and Michael right behind her. 090805 REST!! Drama, Drama, Drama. 090804 10 Rounds for time 200m Run 8 "Heavy" KB Swings 24KG 10 Wall Ball 14#/10 ft target 26:50 bleeeeeeeeeeeeech! I did this at 6:30pm on a 90 something degree day. As you may know, I am not fond of running. I also have no endurance during wallballs, or in general. KB's I just don't like because they are always hard 8 or 80, 24kg or 12kg they suck the life force from me so I can't do anything else. The first picture is the reason for the second picture. Classy! 090803 5 Rounds for time10 Pistols 5 HSPU20 Situps 10:21 Used 20" box for pistols. Right leg rocks at pistols, left leg is stiff and feels like a bag of gravel instead of muscle, at least...

I'm just going to give a quick version of events. No pictures, sorry. Just lame info. I don't even have times written down for half my WODs and I know there is one or two WODs I am forgetting but here is the latest rundown. In no particular order since my last post "Nasty Girls" 10:48 MU transitions for MU Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1 leading reps unknown 165# PR 175# jerk fail, but cleaned it several times and that was my latest clean PR I wasn't pulling myself under the bar in the jerk. "Annie" 9:28 perhaps my worst Double unders to date. Was FLYING in my situps though 3 Rounds for time 500m Row 21 Burpees 400m run 19:38 Wow surprised myself on that one. Runs could have been faster. "Diane"ish 12-9-6 Deadlift Hand Stand Push Ups 6:50 1 abmat 155#DL 3 rounds for time 4 Handstand Push ups 5 squat cleans 6 Chest to Bar pullups 7 KB swings had to do each movement unbroken or had to start that movement count over 5:21 ...

090609 21-15-9 Sumo Deadlift High Pull Ring Dips 4:46 used red band for dips...sigh It has been forever since I have done dips in a WOD! I have not missed them. I pounded out 15 in a round in first round, and after that I was hard to get 2 or 3. It seems like I was not the only one with that problem in this WOD. Dips became singles very quickly for everyone. I thought it was just being sore from the all the push ups the day before. I am a sore little girl in my pecks today. However my head turns to the left more comfortably again! On the bright side today is a rest day, aaaaaaaahh! 090608 2 Cleans 65# 20 Push ups 4 Cleans 18 push ups 6 cleans 16 push ups 8.....14 down to 20 cleans 2 push ups 15:12 This wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. I thought it was going to take me closer to 18 or 20 min. I didn't think my pushups would be that fast. At least for me. I did my first 15 unbroken, in warm ups I have a hard time doing 10! ha. Cleans I did unbroken unti...
