CFDC

Metcon:  For time:

1 x AMRAP front squats (155#)
Block run
50 burpees
Block run
25 ball slams (40#)

16.38/15 front squats

Notes:  This was a neat little metcon with two separate data points.  The front squats were more difficult than usual because you couldn't wear Oly shoes.  Made it more difficult to maintain an upright torso.  I bailed after 15 reps because I could feel my lower back starting to take a beating; however, I'm satisfied with that effort.  I'm not satisfied with my effort on the overall metcon.  I dogged both Block runs and looked for every opportunity to break on burpees and ball slams.  I don't expect to be putting up stellar times right now, but I do expect a shift in mind-set towards better intensity.  Need to start pushing through the pain a little bit more rather than backing off as soon as the going gets tough.  Feels like I'm performing metcons with a weight vest on right now.
