Finally mentally prepped for my week off and surprise! testing! Body still feeling wrecked from the open, but did pretty ok on this.

AM
A. Find 1RM power clean in 8 minutes.
165. Attempted 170 twice; I'm pretty close, but not there yet.
rest EXACTLY 2 minutes
B. 8 min AMRAP PC (90% of A)
19 (147.2#) Was supposed to be 148.5, but I did what I could with the weights I had. Tried to go a little too fast in the beginning and missed a few, but got into a groove and didn't really have any more misses. For comparison, when I did this in December, I got 150# PC and 10 reps @ 135 (plus 6 fails). Boo. Ya.

Row :30 sec max effort (for distance)
Rest :60 sec
1) 144m 2)146m 3)142 m 4)141m

PM
40 min row
Ok, so obviously not programmed but 1-it was relaxing and 2-I need more cardio in my life. This was def a Z1 pace, but better than nothing..

19:12. Double unders sucked. Pleasantly surprised with my pullups. Butterflied them all...3x7, 3x5, THEN all 9 mutha trucka

Also, had a good chat with Joey today re:programming as part of the internship deal, and I'm REALLY looking forward to the open being over and getting back to attacking my weaknesses in training. I think my biggest goal(s) coming out of the open is increasing my aerobic base and working on high load gymnasty/muscle endurance movements. Not necessarily the most FUN training, but it will pay off.

Felt like absolute crap today after doing 14.3 three times in 4 days. Finally dragged myself to th gym to do :30 :30 on the air dyne for 20 minutes...went to the eye doctor with the full intention of coming back to do my 30 minutes of z1, but never did. In my defense, I felt pretty crappy after getting my eyes super dilated...and they still don't know what's wrong so I have to get an MRI on Monday..so I just spent the rest of the day in bed. I feel a little bad...but not really.

FRIDAY
14.4
14 min AMRAP
60 cal row
50 TTB
40 WB
30 Cleans (95#)
20 MU
177; 27 cleans. Row was ok, finished 4:34. All singles on the  TTB, sets of 5 on the WB until the end and I think I did 3s. Singles on the cleans...they were killer. Really disappointed that I couldn't finish the cleans and attempt a MU, but I never really stopped moving so I don't know how I could have improved...except get better at TTB...

SATURDAY
60 min walk
TTB skill work
focused on kicking the TTB and it really helped

SUNDAY
14.4
14 min AMRAP
60 cal row
50 TTB
40 WB
30 Cleans (95#)
20 MU
176. This was a huge let down for me. I was amped and ready to go, my TTB were pretty solid warming up, but after stringing together like 7 after the row, I crashed. A couple of doubles and back to singles. Hit a wall on the wallballs (no pun intended); my goal was to do sets of 5+, but had to drop to 3s pretty quickly. Arms were fried...not sure about legs. Those prob were too. Cleans sucked again. Got a couple doubles in, but obviously still wasn't enough. 

I'm just over the open right now. I feel like my performance and scores do not reflect the amount of work and heart I've put into training. Realistically, I JUST started. Like I joined CCF when I moved here in Julyish?), but I didn't start getting serious until after that Hilton Head competition. And I didn't get REALLY serious until after Famously Hot. That being said, I'm doing pretty well for my first open...but obviously I want to be doing better. Even after I look at all the goals I set and how I've blown through most of them, I'm still feeling a lot of disappointment. It's not even a making regionals thing, because honestly, I don't think I could handle it this year. I have to figure out where I'm going to live, what I'm going to do, and uhhhh graduate, which is all around the time of regionals.   I just want what I put out to reflect what I put in. This sport is infuriating.
