My Fight with Linda

Met up with Josh Courage, his baseball kids, Reggie, and the very  lovely but intimidating Christy Phillips of District Crossfit and by the way is the 6th most fittest female athlete in the world  for our Friday wod.

Todays wod:

Linda

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

BB Deadlift @ 1.5x BW

BB Bench Press @ BW

Squat Clean (.75% of BW)

Weighed myself before the wod and i only weigh 185#.....really riduculous how much less i weigh since my knee injury, so my weights for the wod were:

Deadlifts @ 280# with the thick bar

Bench Press @ 185#

Cleans @ 140#

My plan was to try and do all my deadlifts unbroken, and work through bench press and cleans. i finished my first round a little over a minute and ffelt great. The first 3 rounds of the deadlifts i was able to finish unbroken, but at around the last 4 rounds, i hated the thick bar. The bench press was the hardest exercise of the triplet. I finished the first 5 rounds with the prescribed weight (185#), but had to scale it down to 155# due to muscle fatigue and failure. Also scaled after the first round of the squat cleans to power cleans. I was a little worried about my knee, but all in all, it felt really great. 

My heat was with one of Josh's clients and with Christy. Tries to keep up with Christy but i was lapped 3 times. Her final time was an impressive 15 min and change, and mine was i think 23:46. Happy i finished sub 25.
