13.5, finally.

the crossfit open has come to an end.

we completed the last workout on saturday & then

celebrated with a bbq party!

the workout was thrusters w/ 65# & chest 2 bar pull-ups,

15 of each, amrap for 4 minutes.

no one at our gym did, but if you got 90 total reps

 you got a bonus 4 minutes to get 90 more, and so on.

i got 15 thrusters & 9 pull-ups.

my goal was 2 pull-ups, so i'm feeling good!

although i forgot to enter my score, so that sucks.

here's me looking at the barbell.... 

contemplating my next thruster?

here i am judging greg, one of our coaches.

 he did awesome!

13.4.

we did the 2nd to last crossfit open wod last saturday,

the morning after tara's wedding...

13.4:

amrap for 7 minutes

3 clean + jerks

3 toes to bar

6 clean + jerks

6 toes to bar

and the ladder continues 9, 12, 15...

with 95lbs for ladies & 135lbs for gents.
i got 25 reps. 
here's a few pics from the workout.

here's our coach mario.

please vote for mario in the muscle madness

hunky trainer contest here.

he's made it all the way to the final 4!

the open show.

the final workout in the open comes out tonight.

i've had a blast doing these workouts, but am

really looking forward to getting back on my regular 

workout schedule. this brought some inspiration: 

13.3

i completed 13.3 this morning at 6am.

the workout was:

150 wall balls 14#/20#

90 double unders

30 muscle ups.

this was a repeat workout from last year.

i could remember doing it last year and hating it,

not even able to get through the wall balls...

well, history repeated itself and i only got 124 reps.

i honestly tried my hardest & am trying to be proud of myself.

it was a different/quiet/low energy vibe with the 6am crew.

i love my 5pm crazies!

13.2

the second open workout consisted of

as many reps/rounds as possible (amrap) in 10 minutes of:

5 shoulder to overhead presses w/ 75lbs

10 deadlifts w/ 75lbs

15 box jumps on a 20" box.

i had to do it during class on thursday and scored
(what i think is) a respectable 205.
looking forward to the 13.3 announcement tonight at 8,
then i'm going in tomorrow at 6am to get it done
because we're heading to chattanooga this weekend for
our 4th rock/creek river gorge trail race!
your good vibes & luck are welcome!
