Noah Week

I did Tuesday wod which consisted of two parts: first part was 3-3-3-3-3 power snatch. i started at 65# and wanted to go up 20# each set to end up with 125# but a failed attempt on the first rep of the last set had me stay at 115#. this was unfortunate bc i had wanted to use the rx weight of 115# for the overhead squats in the second part of the wod and would have been very comfortable with it had i snatched 125# three times. the second part of the wod consisted of 10min to do as many OHS after first completing 15-12-9 T2B + 200m run. got the couplet done in less than 5 min (which i was very happy with) but struggled big time with the OHS at 105# mainly due to my wrists being on fire from not being set up in their proper neutral position. Only ended up with 20 reps. although it wasnt as a high a number as i was shooting for, i am happy that im now mentally comfortable with snatching and OHS 105# in a high rep scenario.

i usually do the endu wod at night but with the new endu session starting, ive decided that i can no longer wod with the class or the llocfme :( so i had wanted to do the wod prior to coaching the newbies at their first endu wod but the track was being used by the morristown high school football team at 5pm (the nerve) and i was way too tired to do it after the endu class so that unfortunately meant that i would have to do it by my lonesome. on a positive note - there were a lot of new faces there and im very excited to see everyone make great strides (...) in their running as the session progresses.

wednesday i took my sister to the track by my parents house so that she could be my personal timer while i did tuesdays minute ladder endu wod. we get there and this track has zero lights. the wind is really picking up and my sister was cold so i had her stay in the car but she was having a hard time making a loud whistle - something i needed as i would be, at times, a whole football field away from the car. running in to a head wind by myself in the pitch black while not being confident that i would actually hear exactly when my rest started and finished didnt exactly make me feel like doing it - but i finished with exactly 7 laps - and i was happy with that. my pose was off but my intensity was consistent throughout. another positive thing that happened wednesday was that i went to the chiro beforehand and apparently i was way out of whack. i do feel a little better and hope that all the adjustments made will help me get a 5k PR later today.
