Let the Games begin!
3 workouts on day 1. First up is the Olympic total…you
have 3 minutes to get your best snatch, followed by 3 minutes for your best
clean and jerk. Going into the workout, I know this will not be my
best event. But I have the numbers I want to hit…125# on the snatch and 170# on
the clean and jerk. The snatch I hit in 4 attempts…115/120 (miss)/120/125. The
clean and jerk went well but not as well as I wanted. I cleaned the 170# but as
time was running out, I rushed the jerk and missed it out front. A tactical
error...which is a phrase you’re going to hear several times over this contest.
We have a one-minute break to transition to the
starting line for Farmer’s field. I changed my shoes (less than 30 seconds…I
practiced!) and got ready to move! This one looks good to me but again some
errors cost me time. The workout has some heavy carries, some burpees over an
obstacle (the pig), rowing, wall balls, and then back again. No errors this time!
This will be my best finish of these games…a third. I got no repped on some
wall balls but got the errors fixed ASAP and got back in the race. Those of you
who know me know I love me some burpees! I have to say picking up heavy stuff
and falling down and getting up really works for me!!!
More on day one next week!
