Training 1/26/12 Push-ups/Row

Some old school photos from my first CF competition the MidWest Regionals 2009.  This was the final workout.  30 C&J @ 95lbs ~400m run 30 Snatches at 75lbs.  My PR snatch at the time was 82lbs.  I finished dead last in that final by about 7 minutes, but made the 20 minute cut off!  It was an extremely humbling moment.  Yet a time that I fell in love with the community as all were standing around cheering for every lift.


Sleep Was less than ideal last night.  Was in bed at 7:30 but didn't fall asleep until an estimation of 9/930.  I didn't look at the clock during this time except at 8:30 when the phone rang.  After that I went to the guest bedroom as Corey was sleeping a bit too peacefully for me.  I fell asleep at some point only to wake up at 2:30, go back to my bedroom and only slept very lightly at most for the next hour.  I felt OK this morning, but can tell that I'm a bit tired.
The biggest improvement is that in the past when this lack of sleep became an issue I'd get very angry and frustrated & wake up Corey at some point to tell him how ticked off I was for my inability to sleep.  This time I never got stressed out as I have finally acknowledged that some rest & relaxation is better than a night of anger & frustration.

Training @ 7:30am
5 rounds for time:
15 push ups
Row 350 m


Push-ups UB for all rounds.  I would pause at the top to breathe around reps 7/10/12 but never had to put the knees down. Thighs were quite fatigued on the rower.
