Graham Holmberg 21.10, Kristan Clever 22.18, Rebecca Voight 25.38, Elyse Umeda 27.00, Josh Everett 29.06 ?!?

I've just figured out why though. On mainsite it asks to set up a bar a foot above your normal reach for burpees. Jump and touch the bar for each burpee.

So alas I probably haven't beaten some of the world's fittest athletes (lol) but even without a bar to jump and touch, i still think it's an alright time :)

Today I was sooo tired when I got back from uni I just fell asleep. When I woke up I knew I needed to get up to get to training but I felt so lethargic and sluggish. Despite that I forced myself up and out the door and just put those thoughts on the back shelf. When I arrived at the gym I was feeling lame during the warm up and thinking I wasn't going to perform well at all. Suddenly that all disappeared and was replaced by a determination to just OWN!

I killed the thrusters by nailing a PB on the second attempt of 80kg for 3. I felt strong and confident with no doubt in my mind that I could do it. I carried this feeling through to the workout where the score to beat was 7 rounds, the goal to get double figures. I got 10 rounds plus 7 thrusters. I think that speaks for itself :)

Jay - 60kg (attempted 67.5kg) / 48-31-27

Notes: I wasn't feeling snatch today at all. Mind plays such a huge part in lifts and with a lift as technical as the snatch you need to be on the ball mentally. I was fine up to a point and then just stopped believing I could get the bar above my head and that's what happened. Of course it's not out of my reach, if I can do 65 I can do 67.5 but you need to have a solid mindset. I've made good progress with snatch anyway this week so I'm still a happy bunny. The WOD I did self-doubt a bit to begin with when Simon told me my target was to beat Sam's scores (42 pull ups, 30 burpees and 25 thrusters) a tall order to say the least. When I walked out the door to get ready for the 1st run though, I put it all out of my head and just attacked it. "Just 200m and then as many pull ups as you can do, that's it" trying to break it down in my head into smaller chunks. Although it took a lot of effort I did beat her on everything and that's certainly something to be proud of considering how incredible an athlete Sam is.

Today was a real mental battle for me in the sense that during this workout I had so many thoughts going through my head I had to fight to keep them out and push through with my lifts (i.e. deadlift as this was the only exercise that was throwing up mind blocks for me). Nevertheless I made it my goal to get through the WOD and not these thoughts stop me and I achieved that. The other focus was keeping my form on the deadlifts. I've gotta say, since my injury I haven't yet made it back up to what I normally lift and 125kg felt like a bitch! Each rep was a BIG effort but it's all good training! No post workout back probs so I'll just keeping climbing the ladder step by step.

Peace in the middle east!

23/04/10 Cos Lettuce Challenge

Tonight my dinner was a pretty good zone meal I think, but as it requires you to eat A LOT of vegetables if you're using them as your carbohydrate base I gave myself the challenge of eating a whole cos lettuce!

1 whole cos lettuce (CARBS)
3 tomatoes (CARBS)

Skill: Shoulder Press 3-3-3-3

WOD: AMRAP 10 mins 8 SDHP (40kg) 5 burpees

Jay - 57.5kg (PB) / 12 rounds + 1 SDHP

I tried 60kg on the shoulder press and got 2 reps just not the third. The third rep on 57.5 was a real gut buster! So 60 is my goal for next time and 13 rounds in that metcon.

Insight of the day

Training today it was raining a lot (as it has been for the past..ever) and it's very easy to perceive it as a downer from looking at all the things it stops you from doing or makes more unpleasant. But in reality it all depends on your perception, how you're going to take it. It doesn't really stop you from doing anything and as far as unpleasant goes, it will be if you think that. But I was geared up and looking forward to training I just didn't care. It actually felt quite refreshing and sort of makes you feel like your dictating what you're doing, not the weather!

Crossfit forging mental toughness baby!
