20min Easy Bike/Row


AB - got it up to 1467 watts which might be the highest ever. did that for all. 

Tester - 3:50. Really tasted it at the end. Don;t feel like we have done a ton of this lactic stuff, which is fine. I really wasn't at the point to push the envelope. did the snatches 3-3-3, but very short rest. rest unbroken. AB was like 500 watts. 


Wanted to get this down before The open started. I feel like with my back and wrist injuries from early/mid 2017 we've done the best we could to prep. I could have eaten better, could have slept more and I probably missed a cumulative of several weeks of training days throughout the year. I will remember that over these next 5 weeks. I'll give it 100%.

+
Easy Spin Recovery for 10-15min


Completed movement work. T-Spine Reach always feels good. 

14.1 - 365 8rd+5DUs, I was so happy with this. My 2014 score was 378, but I eased in to this one, steady pace the whole way 6-5-4 on snatches, didn't miss any on DUs. Could have done snatches faster obviously. But just felt really good through this whole thing. I mean, I was on my back at the end, but still felt good. This was the type of open workout I was worried about the most, the "no limiter, just gotta go" type. Def have some confidence when these show up now. 

4min 13.4 - took about 5 more minutes to stretch good. finished through round of 12. Did singles on C&J and jump kept moving. 

Good day.
