WOD#72 5K+ (3.68mi) 32:07@171/184
70degree temperature = Barefoot run in CP. The grass and reservoir path were soaked and cushy from all the snow which melted over last few days. It wasnt cold though, I almost forgot how good it felt to run on grass. Yummm. I ran it reasonably fast at 8:43mi/min (8:30mi/min excl traffic stops). I didnt want to risk any funny injuries. Just like last time, this was the fastest training run ever. Coincidence? And it didnt even feel that fast.
WOD#71 Jackie 1000m row, 50x40#DB Thursters, 30 PUs 24:44@147/170
All upper arms workout. I liked doing thursters using DB. Towards end, it was getting clear that I dont have symmetric strength between two arms as the left hand could not keep up with right hand arm and I started loosing control (with just 20#!). Thursters were the hardest. PUs are getting easier. I managed to do sets with 6-7 PUs which is higher than usual 3-4.

WOD#73 Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 45#, 65#, 85#
Complete failure at first rep attempt at 95# on Jerk part. I still cant do jurk properly and it ends up being push press. It has something to do with fear of getting under the weight. Ironically, I did have a mini-accident when the weight came down somewhat behind the head causing funny body position and some strain on lower back. No damage done but scary for a brief moment. The major problem was inability to let go of the weight. I need to work on exit strategies for bailing out of the weights. Also interestingly enough, I scrapped back sideof index finger (cant imagine how that happened with barbell in the grip. But I think this is the first time I had minor cut in crossfit wod (blisters dont count). Quite a moment.
The finger cut and some pain in lower back made me take a day off just to be on the safe side. Part of the reason was general breakdown in my daily routine as my cycle had flat last Friday forcing me to reorg commute etc. Also I forgot my HRM which I kindda need for the brutal Barbara long due now.
