Hair of the dog

Although this term is usually used in dealings with hangovers and booze, today was a hair of the dog day for me. Power snatches. The same power snatch that fucked me over Sunday. There was no way in hell I was going heavy or high rep, but I needed to get under that bar again.

I worked on a couple singles and a couple of full snatches at 95#s.

Rocky Mountain Regional WOD#2

I couldn't pass this workout up. I love this workout. Last time I did it in 5:40. I was at the JohnG and Liz's CF Level I in Milwaukee with 30+ on-lookers, strange enough JohnG was there again today. He may be my good luck charm.

I told myself for about 30 minutes before the WOD if I felt anything in my back I would stop... It took me about all 30 minutes to believe it.

4:24

I really don't remember what was unbroken and what/how I broke anything. Good thing it's on video. It just felt really good to move without my back irritating me. I felt my back a little in the 3rd round of front squats but really stopped and thought about it... once again told myself it was ok... actually I heard some just say, "all you have is 5 and burpees, then you're done!" so I just finished out.

I really thought over the last two days my chase for Sectionals could be over. So today was a great hurdle over a big mental mountain for me. What I should have said as soon as I finished this wod was...YEAH BITCHES!
