Pity Party

1.5 mile Run
50 CTB Pull-Ups
100 Hand-Release Push-Ups
200 Air Squats
1.5 mile Run

53min 45sec total

Fnished the first 1.5 in approx 11min 11sec... Took a few minutes to get set-up on CTB then knocked out sets of 5... Stayed with sets of 5 on the push-ups as well... Think I started air squats at at the 20min mark... Did sets of 10 for the first 100 then 4 sets of 25 for the second... Not sure what time I started the second run but it took FOREVER (I'm guessing I started around the 36min mark)... Did a walk/run gig to finish. Ugh

Dead Legs on the Ass-Fault

400m Sprints

We did 5 of these bad boys in the 102 degree heat... brutal. I almost didn't go today because my legs were still plenty sore from this week's WODs (and I felt really groggy this a.m., dunno why), but decided to suck it up and head-out anyway. Glad I did, but my legs definitely didn't have the juju today. By the third 400 they just felt heavy and almost uncontrollable. Breathing was decent, even though it felt like we were doing the WOD in a dry sauna.

Times were: 1:06, 1:10, 1:29, 1:23, and 1:22
DEFINITELY no PR today

Muscle-Up Salute

Front Squat
1-1-1-1-1-1

Warmed up with a light 2 mile run with Kac. Weather. was. perfect. We logged in at 8:46.

PR'd with 215 (by about 18lbs)... chased 220 with 2 attemps but just couldn't get past the half-way mark. Form, I'm told, was good... elbows were high. Focused on breathing/core stability during reps and squeeeeezed them abs.

There was no met-con today so I messed around with some hspu's and mu's. I did 3x5 on hspu's with 1 abmat and did a final set of 8. This is the most I've ever done with 1 abmat! On the mu's I was just tryna stick a STRICT rep. Sam PR'd on strict mu's the other day. Before then it had never occured to me that we could do them from a "deadhang," and I have been curious to try them every since. I did 3x2 strict mu's which were witnessed by Kac, Chase, and a few others. First time to do a movement equals PR. And I'll take it.

Push-Press

Push-press
1-1-1-1-1-1-1

170# weak sauce... but a PR. That puts me right at 30% of my strict press. Ran an easy 2 miles before warm-up... Also did 3x10 ring dips after WOD

Walk Hard

Max Deadhang Pull-ups
Rest 3 min

Max Kipping Pull-Ups
Rest 3 min

100 Jumping Pull-Ups for time

I pulled 15 deads, 32, kipps, and did the jumps in 1:35... all in all a slightly above-average effort compared with the rest of the box. I used my tape technique again and it protected my hands perfectly. Some of the other fells got pretty torn up.
Afterwards we did a 400m "fun run" carrying a heavy load. I put on a 20# weight vest and carried a 100# sandbag... clocked in at under 3:00 minutes. Dunno for sure cause Sam didn't get back to the finish line in time, but I came in well before 2nd place (first loser) who clinched a 3:00.
All in all it was a challenging but fun day at the CFDC. Felt good today too... think hydration has been the key. I had only been drinking 2-3 liters of water but upped the ante to 4-5 and have noticed a considerable difference in my energy levels. Guess these 100 degree Nooners have been taking more outta me than I though.
