River Ruckus

Event 1

13.5

ub first two rounds of thrusters & c2b pull-ups. Third round thrusters were 9 & 6 and C2Bs 10 & 5 if I remember accurately.   I watched Camille's 13.5 video again in the morning and I was literally visualizing her do it while I was on the bar.  It seemed to work, as I've never done that many C2B BFs.  I don't think I went to the standard kip for any...even in the second 4 minutes.  

Finished the first 3 rounds ~3:40 and the 4th set of thrusters were 3 sets of 5 with longer breaks than normal.  Don't remember much about C2Bs, but definitely had longer breaks.  5th set of thrusters were 9 & 6 again...had too much left in tank.  Know I could have dug deeper on a repeat, but I was nervous about getting through the first four rounds and now that I have feel confident that I could do it again and again. 

Finished with 148 reps which was my best score of the 5 weeks in the Open. 

Event 2

3 RFT

7 DLs @ 185lbs

14 box jumps (20") pause on top

21 DUs

2:55

This was scheduled to happen ~an hour after the first event and then they were a bit behind inside and they got a bit ahead of schedule outside so it was about a 45 minute break.  I didn't know they were ahead of schedule until they called my heat and I hadn't gotten back into a warm up so that was interesting.  Did a couple DLs at 135lbs and then it was 185lbs with my judge.  Demo of DUs & box jumps was the warm-up there.  Didn't seem to affect too much...perhaps could have transitioned a bit faster.  Won the heat and then Kate beat me in the next heat with a 2:47.  Second overall. 

Event 3

Later in the afternoon. 

In 6 minutes: 

800m run (two laps around grass field) 

Max OHS (75lbs) in remaining time. 

Run was ~2:52 and then opened with 25 OHS.  From there is was sets of 5-10 if remember correctly. 

53 reps.  Third place to a 54 and 63 by Kate. 

Final event:-Winner takes all. 

3 sets of 

In 1 min complete 5 power cleans at 95lbs followed by AMRAP power clean to split jerk with alternating legs each rep.  

IFB: max burpees over bar in 1 minute. 

30s rest b/w sets. 

Was feeling a bit off going into this one, but just built over each round and kept my focus on what I could do vs what everyone else was doing.  Focus was to be ready to attack final minute of burpees.  Felt better than expected at end.  Someone commented on how I was the only one not on my back.  Learning is that I can dig this hard sooner and will need to in time.  Took first with 94 reps with 90 & 87 being second & third.  I was fortunate not to lose any reps on the weird alternating legs rule that got some of the others.
