Taking the leap

Today is day 1 of training for my first crossfit competition.  Still haven't quite wrapped my head around the idea of competing.  Somehow running a full marathon seems less intimidating that competing.  There's something about thinking so highly of yourself that you want to compete that I am struggling with right now.  And the idea that I know I'm not going to be the best/win so why am I bothering?

So today's workout:

COMPETITION WOD:

STRENGTH:

A.) Snatch:

3X1@80%, 1X1@85%, 1X1@90%, 1X1@95%, 3X1@90%, 2X1@85% – rest 30-60 seconds.

60, 65, 70, 75# felt light, need to reevaluate my 1RM for snatch

B.) Clean & Jerk:

3X1@75%, 1X1@80%, 1X1@ 85%, 1X1@90%, 3X1@85%, 2X1@80% – rest 30-60 seconds.

100, 105, 110, 115#

****You must perform all of “A”, and then all of “B”. Then immediately into the Conditioning portion.****

CONDITIONING:

3 Rounds:

10 X Burpee Broad Jump
20 X KBS (Heavy) 35#
15 X Pullups (C2B if possible)
10 X Thrusters (Heavy) 85#

20:07 I suck at pullups.  I missed a clean in the last round of thrusters or I would have had it less than 20 minutes.

 

 

The conditioning felt like I was back struggling when I started crossfitting back in March.  This is heavier and a little crazier than I've ever worked out.
