I was sitting in 12th place going into the last event. I'm not going to lie. It's tough to get motivated to do a bunch more work when there is no chance for anything "special" to come of it. Meaning I could win the whole thing and there would be no CF Games.
225lbs is a lot of weight for me with a DL max of 260lbs. I'm good at high percentages of my max, but nonetheless my body & mind were quite tired.
I opted to do singles for all the DLs dropping each one from the top to save the eccentric loading. The first round went alright but then it started to feel like a 1 rep max effort each lift. I had to mentally get myself psyched up to approach the bar again.
In time muscle ups also need to get smoother. I had taped my hands and was bleeding through the tape after the first set of muscles ups where I linked two together and failed on the third. Honestly it hurt my hands more to grab the bar for deadlifts than to do the muscle ups.
I started failing on MUs and was getting close to the time cut off. I started doing 1 rep every 30s to keep myself focused as I've done this before in training. I made it through the first set of three rounds with about 20s left and knocked out about 7 wall balls to finish the weekend.
