Snatch PR (FINALLY)

As you can see, I finally PR'd on snatch 1RM today! In the past, I always suffered from a mental block when I got past 80# on this lift, but today I was determined not to let that happen. So I PR'd by 10# and snatched 90#. :)

Met-con was crazy but fun in a way: 300m row, 20 ring dips, 300m row, 20 ring dips, 300m row. I subbed dips on the GHDs with my feet on a 20" box because every time I do ring dips with a band, my foot cramps up and basically debilitates me for the rest of the workout. I can string two to three unassisted dips together, but that would not have been enough for this WOD. I finished in 6:22--not bad, although I know I could have finished faster if I hadn't totally run out of gas on the second to last 100m on that final row. Geeeeez, I kept my pace between 1:50-1:55 but that 100m, I was pulling between 2 and 2:05! Ugh! Anyway, happy that I finished before 6:30.

Kason left for OCS on Wed. so I've tried to keep my chin up and just focus on finishing this school year up (next week is my last one! YAY!) and earning an A in this current grad course. Haven't had quality sleep or enough of it in so long...I can't remember the last time! Looking forward to having just grad school and WODing to do. :) Can't wait for the WOD in the Park tomorrow! It should be a blast, and I hope that one of my students who expressed interest in going actually shows up. Okay, back to my assignment.

  1. Yay for a new PR! Muscle up and a PR! :) What more should I expect from you next week?

    And you know, we can have some pool time soon! You can read for class and I can read Atlas Shrugged. You don't have any Red Headed Boys by your pool do you? LOL.

  2. Hahaha, you crack me up, girl! I have not noticed any yet, but then again, I've been to the pool like twice since moving here. :) Just get a cheapy ring from Target and wear it on your left hand. Maybe that'll deter them? Pool time sounds WONDERFUL--my break from class is the week of July 4, so sometime then would be nice!
