Jello legs

Yesterday was another hard day to stay awake at work. Some friends and I went to the Cubs vs Brewers game so I was running on 4 hours of sleep. And I’m the type that needs my sleep, at least 7 hours! So needless to say it was rough.

Strength/Speed: 2 Cleans @ 55% or 1RM OTM for 11:00 – 35kg

My left knee felt a little tight during this so I felt like I was compensating by using my right leg more. Other than that my pull felt great as well as how quick I was dropping under the bar into a full squat.

WOD # 1:
Complete 5 rounds for total reps of:
With 2:00 on the clock:
Run 400m
Max ball slams (30/20)
31

My first run was great coming in at 1:39, second was slower around 1:43, then it was 1:40, then 1:46 and finally 1:43. Obviously the slower I was the lesser amount of ball slams I got. My runs were strong until I got to the turnaround point and I was just dragging. My diet has not been helping, but it could’ve been a lot worse.

Since I’m leaving for California tonight, I decided to wait about 20-25 min then did a second wod last night….

WOD #2:
5 rounds of:
1 power clean (60/40)
3 hang cleans
2 jerks
200 ft sprint
2:00 rest
5 rounds of:
1 power clean (60/40)
3 hang cleans
2 jerks
200 ft sprint
11:02

I really liked this wod. I liked that it was heavy-ish with a short sprint. My sprints weren’t so much sprints after a certain point. But I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that this was my second wod in an hour. On fresh legs, I think I could get around 10:00. Hopefully we do this one again and it will be on fresh legs.
