Waking up Saturday morning, I was beyond nervous. I have never felt like I did that morning, or before each event. I was nervous, my body would heat up, my heart would race, and I would feel sick to my stomach. Then the clock would count down 3...2...1... GO! and it was gone. I was able to get out on the floor with the 13 (I think) amazing ladies in my heat, and throw it down! I know it is awesome to watch the pro's do this stuff, but I am even more amazed by the women that I competed with yesterday. We all pushed our limits and broke down barriers doing the best we could with each event!
I will always say I am disappointed, that I know I could have done a few more reps than I did, I could have finished that last run, I could have lifted a little more weight, but over all I am proud of myself. With each event I did more than I did practicing the event, I PR's my clean by 5lbs after working out all day, I had an amazing day with my CrossFit Reedley family, and last, going into the event my goal was to finish Top 15, and I finished in 5th place. Pretty Awesome!
I would have to say over all my top favorite things about the events were: 1. Being in the same heat, and the lane right next to Diane. She pushes me, in the best ways, so it was nice to have her by me. 2. Getting a PR on my clean! I didn't even squat clean the 130lbs haha, so I am confident that there is more strength there, I just have to dig it up!
I am not sure when I will do another competition, but I am excited. I am excited to put in some more work at the gym, push myself with new goals, and reach them. It feels good to do better than I thought I would, but now I am motivated for a top 3 spot since I was so close to it this time around.
Workout #1- 2-min-drill: I didnt not do as planned... haha. Everything went out the window from what I had done in practice, I blew myself up on the snatches, but I was able to keep a good amount of reps, throughout the entire event. In practice I got up to a 115 reps, and in competition I was able to get a few more reps in, I got a total of 123.
Workout #2- Rope-a-dope: I was confident going into this workout initially, and I didn't even finish it in competition. Ultimately, I wasn't prepared for the rope that was used in the workout, and I was completely blown up from WOD 1. I was/am so disappointed that I want able to finish the workout. I got through the first and second rounds for a total of 2 runs, 5 rope climbs, and 160 single unders. With 40 seconds left, I took off for my run starting the 3rd round, and I didn't make it back to my mat for point, but I wanted that run so bad. I struggled to get as far as I did into the event , when I was expecting to do so much better is what kills me.
Floater #1- This was a max box jump. I was able to get higher than I got in practice, which I was stoked about, I was able to roughly jump 35 in!
Floater #2- We found out what the workout was that morning, it was a 3 min Airdyne bike ride, and the 3 min to build to a 4 rep max front squat from the floor. I got a total of 14 cal on the bike, I first attempted 125 for the clean/front squats it felt super easy, so I went for 130 and was able to get the clean, and the FS! Yey! for me.
Here is a picture recap for Saturday!
