Today was a fun one at the gym. We continued our "Celebration of Games" and featured some max effort snatch along with a wall-ball wod today. For snatch, we did a 5-3-1-1-1 trying to hit max effort on the last 1. My sets were as follows:
-155 x 5
-175 x 3
-185 x 1
-195 x 1
-205 x 1, failed
Ahhhhhh, was so close man. 195 was my pr in the snatch going into this one. And I got it easy today. But 205 was in my head. I made two attempts and the second one I had overhead and couldn't keep balance in the bottom of the squat, damn I was right there. Should have made a third attempt but still had a wod to go and decided to save myself the punishment. 205 will go up next time.
After the snatch we did the CrossFit benchmark wod "Karen." She is the following for time:
-150 wallballs, 20#/10ft
time=5:40
Not a bad finish here seeing this was my first time every trying this wod. I rifled through the first 75 unbroken before I took a rest. Then I finished with three sets of 25. This is one of those wods that's so short you just have to block out the pain and keep digging. Next time I do this one, I'll look to break it down to 100-30-20. Sub-5min is the goal.
