Kind of a Blah 1/2 Day

Not quite a power snatch but a good diagram.

So my day started by waking up late & Eli sneezing on a plate of 1/2 eaten eggs which set the stage for the plodding melancholic course the day took. I raced out of the house for morning class 1/2 caffeinated and 1/2 fed. The weather has turned nasty cold again and the car was only 1/2 warm which put me in an even more disgruntled but not quite foul mood. The strength piece was nice enough 4×4 HBBS @ 75% – Rest 90 sec. I ran through it at #205, just shy of 75% which wasn't too difficult, but aggravated a small twinge from yoga yesterday in my left shoulder that I slept on funny since I only had a 1/2 a pillow because kiddo was sleeping sideways and the cats took the others. So, with an overabundance of caution, I dialed back on the WOD weight to #95 only to realize it was way too light for power snatches. Surprisingly I felt ok about the snatches and was complimented on their improvement. ;) All that empty bar work paying off.  I did finish in 7:22 + 26 burpee box jumps. The TTB when I finally got my rhythm felt good and were fast- but aggravated the twinge.

Burpee Box Jumps, 24/20

The Paleo benchmark WOD is Wednesday- am fairly certain there will not be any monumental jumps in my performance despite physically feeling great.Was hellacious and painful the first time around- probably wont be much different the second. Since the open starts on Friday- talk now is of how to dial down the workouts to be rested. Will probably skip Thursday Endurance for the Open & eat more calories to make sure I am well rested and fueled. Not sure about other workouts for the week-will need to discuss them with the program master on tomorrow.
