Thank God for the 7:30p class! My Tuesday turned out to be like my Monday and Marisa stayed home again. She needed to stay home though, having her come in would’ve been stupid and torturous, and just not fair to her! Tuesday was also the day that Dave agreed to try out Big Fish Basics with me, because I really wanted him to get the feel for what my yoga practice felt like. So we went at 8a, knowing I’d be in production again on my own, but I really wanted to honor the time I had set aside for him, and we went! 🙂
He of course did amazing, as with everything he tries, and he actually enjoyed the practice and movements, but he said the “Om stuff just wasn’t for him”. We went on to discuss the idea of me becoming a yoga teacher, or at least getting my certification to do so, with the intentions of then being able to work with him at home. It’s actually something I’m seriously considering, and I really want to do, but I’m not willing to make the time commitment just yet. That’s another post though. 🙂
So.. anyway, that’s why I didn’t make it to Crossfit in the morning. I went at 7:30p instead! That day we did the following:
Strength: 15 Minutes to find a 1RM Squat Clean
AND I PRed MY SQUAT CLEAN at 175lbs!!!!!!! I’ve never found a 1RM for my squat clean before, and my power clean was at 165 from Crush Games in Fort Lauderdale, BUT.. today!!!! I SQUAT CLEANED 175! I missed my first attempt, and with 3 minutes left, one of the guys who was in the class, Chris, gave me a little bit of encouragement and said to give it another shot.. Well WTF do you know, I GOT IT. I remember doing the pull, getting under the bar, and as I caught it in the front rack and held steady in a full squat, I made a face at Chris like Whaaaaaaat???? And he goes, “okay now stand up!!” haha I can front squat 215, so I for sure can stand up from a full depth squat at 175! And I did, (with a big yell and grunt, of course) and it was amazing!!! I was so proud. Even as I write this almost a week later, I’m beaming with pride that I did that. I pulled 175 lbs!! In a squat clean, no less! I hate squat cleans! Haha
That squat clean was good enough for me to get 2nd place on the leader board, too! YEAH!!
WOD: 10 Rounds
200m Run
5 – Burpee/C2B Pullups
Because it was literally 27* out, I opted to row instead of run. Thank goodness!! Rowing felt like such a smarter decision than running!! My final time was 19:46, and I used a box for my jumping C2B pullups. Still, felt amazing, and I was still beaming from my PR. 🙂
