Open Wod 12.3

Another beautiful Sunday it was. Not only was it because of all the great performances, but the weather was amazing too! So glad we decided to have a cook out after the wod was complete

12.3
18:00 ARMAP
15 Box Jumps (24"/20")
12 Push Press (115/75)
9 T2B
8 rounds + 15 box jumps

My goal for this wod was 8+, maybe 9 rounds. So I met my goal and I'm really happy with that. So far I've been making my goals with all of these wods, so I can't be unhappy. When it comes to competition wods, I just get in this zone and go. I've definitely changed since Open wod 11.3 last year.

I went into this with an idea of 2:00 per round. the first few rounds I was right on track. And obviously I knew this was going to be hard to keep up as time went on. I finishe the first two rounds in 1:45ish.

All box jumps were unbroken. I believe I only had one rep where I lost control at the top. Other than that re-do, all reps were clean.

Push Press/Jerk, my goal was to drop the bar as few times as possible. First 3 rounds I split the reps 6-6 and rested the bar in the rack postion. Next 3, I dropped the bar after 6 reps, but kept the split 6-6. 7th round was 6-4-2 and last round was ugly and heavy, 4-2-4-2.

T2B, I knew would be my weak spot. Once I fatigue, I can't keep the kip going. I was alternating between narrow grip/wide legs and wide grip/narrow legs, switch grip with my hands. I was doing everything just to keep moving and not stop. My first 2 sets were 5-4, next 2 were, 3-3-3, next few were 3-2-2-2, last set was all singles. Took everything out of me to get those up. Then it was directly to the box and I finished the 15th box jump, right at the last second.

This one was all about pacing, but keep moving. Don't quit. The second you get that thought in your head, it's game over.

Shout outs to Kelly and Hannah who went through this WOD feeling like crap, but still putting up awesome scores. And to Hannah for going back 5 hours later again, and doing better! I can't even imagine what you would get if you were healthy, definitely 9+.

Jer did an outstanding job as well. True hard fought score there. Heavy weight for him and he gutted it out. Just gotta drop under that bar!

Kristina, awesome work on staying with it even though you hated every bit of the T2B. You showed what it takes to be a leader and not give up!

Same with Julie, kept fighting through the suck and moving with all the motivation and determination she had. She's been downright awesome to watch during this Open competition.

And to everyone else, you guys continue to amaze me every Sunday. And I couldn't be more proud to be part of it!
