Not sure why, but trying to rest

I decided on Friday I would rest. I did do a quick an burner WOD with Russian get ups and Toes 2 Bars. Then in the afternoon we picked up 80 - 100# mats. Then we drank some beer and played ninja warrior on the pull up rig until our hands were raw. Fun stuff though.

On Saturday we had a team WoD that was brutal.

Teams of 3
(each movement begins with 20 pull ups)
120 DB Snatch 45#
200 M Prowler 200#
120 kBS 53#
200 M prowler
120 over the box Burpee jumps 40"
200 M Prowler
800 M run
120 HRPU

Our time
38:46

The prowler got nasty especially when your teammates can no longer push it very far....rough.

After this I did a quick WOD before the demolition of the Box started.

ISA-GRACE:
30 snatch 135
30 clean and jerk 135

My time
6:31

Hands were still raw and was stuck doing singles the whole was. Today the wall is down and a lot I work is bring done so I will be out of commission and may not get a WOD in.....but will be spending a lot of time with my little girl which is always a plus.

Deadlift WOD with Kevin

Yesterday was a fairly light day.  It started with some strength:

3 Rep Push Press
245 x 3
265 x 0

265 would have been a PR but it was not  going up.  Then the WOD was:

Death By 10 Meters
18 + 18

I was not happy because I wanted in the 19's but just had nothing left at this point.  After this I had some meetings and then a drop in from Indy.  He pulled a Deadlift PR and then he had a WOD he wanted to do and I couldn't pass on it:

10 min AMRAP
10 Deadlifts 155#
10 Hand Release Push ups

My score
13 + 10 Deadlifts

Not a bad little WOD....the push ups....as always got me in the later Rds.

Karen and Squats

2 days ago I walked in the gym slapped 95# on a bar with 10 minutes before the 9 am class and decided to squat.

7 Min AMRAP Back Squat
Max reps with 95#

My score 140

My goal here was to do the largest set I could without setting the bar down, and with the remaining time get as many reps as possible.  I was able to go 140 unbroken and actually was on my way up when the buzzer beeped for 7 minutes on my 139th rep.  I did 1 more to hit 140 and then dropped it.  That was a PR with 95#.

Then the class deadlifted

1 Rep Deadlift
475

then:

430 x 5

I went heavy more then for a 1 rep or 5 rep.  Feel good that this is not lighter weight then untouchable weight.  The WOD after this was:

Karen
150 Wall Balls

My time
5:46

This was a PR from 6:33.  I have never really done this WOD alone or fresh so I am not sure how skewed the 6:33 is.  My legs actually felt fine in was my anterior delta that were on fire.  I ended up having a busy rest of the day so that was it.
____________________________

Yesterday

I did the class WOD again

For time
800 M Run
50 KBS 53#
400 M Run
50 Ground to Overhead 95#
300 M Run
50 Pull ups

My time
14:40

The ground to overhead got heavy and then the pull ups sucked.....and running as always sucked.  Good WOD though.

-later-

30 MU for Time

My time
3:43 PR

4:20 was the fastest I have done this before so I was pumped.  I have been working a lot on MU's and have been feeling a lot better about them.  I have really been working pull ups as well and just did 53 unbroken the other day and feel I can get over 60.....my goal is 75.  We had a competition class at 8 PM but I was unable to do the WOD.  I did do the strength:

1 Rep Snatch
245

I did not go higher because my quads were real sore and I did not feel comfortable in the bottom.

Opinions Wanted

As of late I have been concentrating a lot on my training.  In this time I had decided to stop posting so much and then ended up stopping all together.  Mainly because I did not want everyone to see what I did on a daily basis....because I do not know many people who do this, and many times when I ask what others are doing I get vague answers.  These are my selfish reasons and may be invalid as a reason to not do it.  I say this because I know people look over this blog on occasion and I get awesome e-mails from people.  That is where I wonder what is best.  Because ultimately I know that my short term goal is winning the Games (which I need to make it to in order to have a chance)....but my long term goal is health and wellness and spreading that.

In conclusion...  I was wondering if I could get reasons why people read this blog, or why I should keep it up?  I want to see what drives people who look at this.  I feel I am coming to the conclusion to continue posting daily again, but am really wanting to hear form you.  Thank you in advance......here is what I have done today:
