Sleep was less than optimal after day 1. I was a bit jazzed after the excitement of the day and although we got back to the hotel at a reasonable hour I broke some of my own "rules". Spent about 2+ hours from about 7-9/9:30 staring at my computer screen answering emails and getting the CFA website ready for the following week. Spending hours staring at a bright screen & then trying to wind down before bed didn't work out so well for me.
I also made a comment to Corey about being on the wrong side of the bed before he started snoring around 9:30. Soon thereafter I realized how wide awake I was feeling. Tossed & turned a bit and then ended up taking 2 melatonin around 11/11:30. Again, NOT the thing to do at that time of night. I also woke Corey up and told him I needed my normal side of the bed back. Soon after that I fell asleep sometime around midnight. Corey was up around 5:30 & I kept rolling over trying to stay as asleep as possible. I got up a bit after 6 and my eyes were burning. I didn't freak out but I definitely finished my full caf coffee that morning.
To the venue.
Event 3
Complete 4 rounds of:
10 DB snatch 70lbs
short run to end of competition floor and back
10 min time cap.
DB snatch workout was first. Our warm-up options were interesting with the DBs: something like 35lbs, 45lbs, 50lbs and then jumped straight to 70lbs. For the men it went from 70 to 100lbs. I had actually brought a 65lb DB from the gym with me as they had 50/60/70lbs at the SE regional the wk prior and I was thinking that I wanted something b/w 60& 70. I contemplated going to get it, but the car was at least 600m away & I wasn't sure it was worth it. My warm up was fairly successful, I had a few misses, but nothing horrible. I had more than enough time to warm up but wasn't sure what to do. So just kept occasionally snatching the 50 aggressively and then the 70 in the same fashion. I would probably hit 3 out of every 5 attempts at the 70 during warm up.
I was in the final heat of this workout due to my standings after day one. 3, 2, 1…go! I got to work steadily hitting reps, but certainly not flying through like many of the other girls in my heat. Pamela and I were well paced finishing the first and second round at nearly the same time. Took me about 3:30 for the first round…was thankful to be running down that floor knowing that that was all I needed to continue onto Event 4, as I had concerns I would be stuck there with the DB for 10 minutes.
Finished 2nd of a possible 4 rounds right around 7:30 and completed another 9 reps before the 10 min cap expired. Pamela and I had the same score. I had a few misses in the third set (only about 1 miss per round in the 1 & 2nd round) as I was trying to pick up the pace to finish it off. If I went back to the DB too quickly I missed the rep. It was a fine balance of fighting the clock without missing reps.
I had ripped the skin of my right palm and left thumb pad so we went to the drug store to get super glue & athletic tape. Then headed back to the hotel to rest. Event 5 wouldn't happen until 5pm that night (or so I thought)...
