The day after the Reebok CrossFit Games Open began last year I was in a bad mental place. My CrossFit Games dream was, what I thought at the time, was over. Needless to say I never got to do an Open WOD at 100%. This year is different. i am feeling Great and excited for the Open. This is a fun time! I am not to worried about where I place in the Open even though I would like to be at the top. This is more of a prep for Regionals May 11-13......that date is circled on the calender. As far as this years Open, I cannot contain myself. I will be doing the WODs Thursday morning because I cannot sit back and wait. not my plan. I will wait to post my times though because my wife said so. I love the first WOD, I hate it just as much though because it puts you in a BAD place....but that is CrossFit! You never know and putting yourself in those places teaches you a lot about yourself. I learned a lot this morning....such as.....7 Minutes is a long time to do burpees and not stop! I do wish that this was last year though because I was doing burpees every night! I have backed off on that and it showed in capacity but my efficiency is still there. I will be posting my video on here this week.
Now to training:
Reebok CrossFit Games Open WOD 12.1
7 Min AMRAP
Burpees
My score
132
It got hard real fast and all I kept saying was KEEP MOVING, once you stop it is over and the score will plummit. So I did just that and kept plugging away. It was much harder then it used to be when I did burpees ALL THE TIME.....there was a reason. To remind me how much easier something is when you do it all the time. Then I did:
Deadlift
405 x 4
415 x 4
435 x 2
Then I got a call that Jada was sick and I needed to pick her up. So I grabbed her, we ate, playeed and then she went for a nap. While napping I did:
Deadlift
405 x 2
435 x 2
465 x 1 (PR)
485 x 1 (FAILED)
I wanted to do some more deadlifting when I got home. 465 felt good but my back was to tired for 485. Happy to PR.....500# by Regionals!!!! After this came:
5 Rds
10 Strict Dips
10 Lunges 135# Barbell
My time
5:22
Good WOD! Back was tight when it was all over. Later on in the afternoon I did:
Death By KBS
2 Pood
My score
15 Rds + 10
I was feeling pretty good but my daughter started crying so I had to go tend to her. I would not have got a whole lot farther though. Good day and I am excited for the rest of the Open and to get better throughout.
