Tuesday 28 Aug 12

Morning:  Arlington

Row 4-5 x 1K (rest 3 minutes between intervals)

1.  3.39.1 (26) (3.44.9)
2.  3.43.2 (25) (3.46.8)
3.  3.43.5 (25) (3.47.3)
4.  3.44.0 (25) (3.47.5)
5.  3.44.3 (26) (3.46.1)

Notes:  Achieved my goal of all pieces sub-3.45, but I definitely had to work for it.  Beat all of my times from same workout on 27 July 12.  Probably used a little too much energy on the first piece.  The last two turned into absolute grinders.  Goal for next time will be sub-3.40.  Drag factor was at 144, which was slightly high.  Need to keep it no higher than 140.  Definitely think I can go sub-7.20 on my next 2K!  

Evening:  CFDC

Power snatch 3 RM

135#

Metcon:  With a running clock, run 1K.  At the 6-minute mark, complete AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

7 burpees
14 Ab-mat sit-ups

Notes:  I got very frustrated by my inability to grip the bar on snatches.  I kept pressing out the third rep at 135# because I couldn't keep a solid grip.  I know I can snatch more weight, but need to address the grip issue.  Felt good on the run and finished just behind Satin, Dan, and Mark, in about 3.35.  Unfortunately, my abs started cramping terribly on the sit-ups.  I simply could not keep going without have to break every few reps and stretch my stomach.  I'm so sick of the heat/humidity in Balance Gym.
