Memorial Day Murph

Sunday: 1k row at the South East CrossFit Games, for time: 3:53.5 I lost the challenge by 10 fucking seconds. G-damnit! Shouldn't have done it so soon after I ate.

Monday:
W/U: Muscle up practice, mobility

Then: "Murph" For time:
1 mile run
100 pull ups
200 push ups
300 air squats
1 mile run

90min 53seconds

This was my first time doing Murph and doing a 100 pull up WOD. Did it on campus at the red semper fi bars. Cut the PRT loop out of the corner that goes around the basketball courts, so the run was probably a little over a mile. It felt pretty good to get through this WOD. The pull ups took forever, naturally. Played with the butterfly technique, couldn't link it together but I generally got the hang of it. Right hand ripped at pull up 60 and the left hand tore pretty bad at 85, so I finished the last 15 holding on with my finger tips. The push ups were done military style. The squats hurt more than I thought they would. I wanted to get the first 50 unbroken but that didn't happen. The last .5 miles of the last run I was able to pick it up, surprisingly, and felt like I was actually running rather than hobbling. Overall a very motivating and rewarding experience. Did it in my SICFIT USMC fight line shirt too. Reminded me to lead from the front. Yut-yut.

I totally sweat-logged my phone doing this though. Why I thought that having my phone in my bra while sweating for over an hour was a good idea I will never know. #dumb

Push, push, push

3 rounds for QUALITY:

10 push ups
10 wide push ups
10 lateral push ups
10 narrow push ups
30 V ups
2min rest between rounds

Those V ups sucked. So did the narrow and lateral push ups - goats that will soon be gone.

I wanted it under 4min but I'm still surprised I did so well considering how tired I was. I guess I'm a pretty good distance rower and runner even though I'm so short.

15 DL 95#/135#
20 sit ups

Did this at mens weight! I didn't see the 95# until after I de-loaded my bar to 135#, I had only seen the 135# and the other 20" boxes were taken so I just did it tall and heavy. Felt really good!
5:39!

Later: Party my ass off with MK for her birthday. Good times. Hate her, but still love her.

Sleeping in sweats.

37 miles

10:00am: 61min run in long sleeve Rogue shirt. Slightly dizzy afterwards, severely dehydrated. Right foot started to hurt really bad halfway through. Walking is now painful. Not hitting the same distances at the times I was, so my legs must really be breaking down.

31 miles in 3 days

31:30 run with long sleeve Rogue shirt on

Legs felt pretty good, not too much knee or ankle soreness, but that might be because I've worn my skins every time I went for a run.

So far I've probably covered 31 miles in the last 3 days. It's very surprising I haven't had much muscle soreness or mental weakness. I'm down 5lbs and 1.25" around my waist and another 1" off of my hips. Today was my last day eating, and it was mostly spinach and one pack of tuna with avocado- cause I had to eat it before it went bad, and a Recovery shake post run. After the run I felt a little delusional but nothing too major.

Hours of hours

2:13:00 run. Approx ~12.5ish miles?

Went farther than the run I did Thursday. First 30min was really slow, but that's to be expected. Picked it up for the second 30min but after that my legs were jello. Knees hurt a bit. Hit a small walk at the 90min mark but that's probably because my run was a half walk. The last half of the run was painfully slow.

Top of the World

Wednesday:
W/U:
800m run
2x: 10m butt kicks
10m side lunges

10 kb swings @ 55#
10m bear crawl
1 burpee
10m sprint
5 thrusters
10m sprint
1 burpee
10m bear crawl

5:14. Did 10 thrusters the first round. Stupid. Would've saved 15 seconds

Thursday:
12 mile run in 1hr 48min and 27sec.

Was able to pick it up at the end, which was surprising. Also hit a bathroom break in Boston Market off of Dunlawton after the turnaround point. Ankles kind of hurt toward the end.

Friday:
Early Afternoon: 41min run. Legs hurt like FUUUUU

17:00
W/U: 500m row
10 OHS @ PVC
Mobility for my legs

Power Snatch 1's: 95# - 100# PR! - 105# Fail

Struggled at landing 95# nicely for awhile. The 100# was ugly with a bad left arm press out but I'll take it.

College: CHECK!

W/U:
500m row
2 rnds:
5 pull ups, kipping first round, strict on the red band second
5 wall balls @ 14#
10 pass throughs

10min AMRAP:
250m row
Max shoulder to OH @ 95#
When bar comes off of the collar bone back on the rower
3, 6 and 5 for 14 total reps

Serious weakness identified today: push presses. Need to work on it and up my weight. I tried to 'game' the WOD by taking my time to rest off of the rower and catching my breath before I started the push presses. Didn't really work. Overall not bad for staying up until 02:00 every day studying.

I am college complete. I'm ready for the next phase of my life to begin.
