I'm going to kill my cat...

...seriously he keeps finding random shit to tear up and play with that makes loud noises and I'm trying to get ready to go to sleep. I have to keep getting out of bed and hiding the shit he finds to play with. Obnoxious.

Wod and then volleyball tonight.

Press 5-3-1+
1RM @ 67.5%/76.5%/85.5%

58#-65#-73# (x 6 reps)

Then, for time (from 2009 Hell's Half Acre Regional):
21-15-9
Box jump (24")
Kettlebell swings (1.5/1 pood = 35#))
Sumo-deadlift high-pull (95/65#)

Time - 7:26

SDHP felt terrible. I really need to set aside time to work on that movement. It's one we don't do especially often and it always feels soo very heavy. Bryce said to think of it like a clean... It feels nothing like a clean though, and while I imagine that I could do a 65# hang power clean for a 21-15-9 wod unbroken, my sumos were nowhere near unbroken. I strung a bunch in the front end of the wod, but by the end I was in 3s mostly and a few singles. I also dropped the bar and Bryce took away a rep. I forgot we weren't supposed to drop. I definitely dropped others. I didn't remember the no dropping rule until I got called out in my 9 set. Was a bit leery with 24" box jump and had more trouble landing in the right place (which helps me get back on in a fast pace) so wasn't able to string them as well as usual.... I still got a bunch in a row but I wanted these unbroken. KBS @ 1 pood are AWESOME. All unbroken. Afterward the workout, however, more KBS was NOT AWESOME. I tried Chris' new KBS technique and nailed myself in the face with the bell. I can't wait to see how hot I look tomorrow with a big ass purple bruise on the bridge of my nose. It better go away by sectionals.

Dead Hangs - 5-3-3 (not sure about the # in the 2nd set). 2rd set i tried to do a switch grip with hands facing opposite the normal way I do them. I didn't like that. I like my right hand facing away from me and my left facing in.

Volleyball @ 8. Great 3 games. We won. Yaaay!! Rudy played - I forgot how fun he is to have on the team! He's great, which is a huge bonus, plus he's super supportive - always cheering us on and congratulating us or making us laugh. Definitely a great person to have on your team. Thanks for subbing, coach!

I noticed in game 3 that the other team looked a bit worn. One girl was sweating a lot and I realized I wasn't sweating at all. And then I thought about how I had done a hard ass workout just 1 1/2 hrs before vball. It reminded me of how far my endurance has improved since starting CFC. I love CrossFit.

Oh, and I had a small tear on my right hand that I though was fully healed, but it split open today during the SDHP, which sucked. It only hurt a tiny bit though, and I was glad we had Dead Hangs to do post-metcon instead of kipping pull-ups! Sucked during vball though. I could feel it pull when I hit. Or served. Or set. So, pretty often, but again it was a dull pain so no big.

Oh! and one last thing. I did the stretches Mike suggested - once at the box after acoaching at 11, once at the box after my metcon today, and then again after vball. Both times at the box I laid on the roller for about 5 mins or so, and then the 1st and 3rd times I did the butt against the wall and arms up. I can already see significantly improved mobility. I also reviewed the snatch movements with a PVC. It's good to get in stretching and focus on the technique for a bit each day. I hope I remember to continue :)
