Took today off, had mad time to kill before MB got into town so headed over to the gym for a quickie at 3pm. Did the wod programmed for the gym's competition team training for regionals.

(Skipped this strength part cause the trainer I threw down with was already part way through the lifting when I got to the gym)

8x2 OHS 75% 1rm

6 rounds for time

4 thrusters 135#

6 bar facing burpees

100m run

8:30

Beat out some of the times that were already posted on the board so that was nice, though not sure if I would have gone any slower if I had done the strength portion beforehand. Got smoked by the trainer I did the wod with. Definitely need to work on my pacing, flew out of the gate as usual and finished the first round before her, then she schooled me on each subsequent round, eventually finishing 45 seconds before me. One dude posted a 7:03 which is pretty f ing impressive.

Picked up MB from the aeropuerto in time for the 5pm class. Kicked off with some power cleans. Still working on re learning the clean so kept the weight relatively low to focus on hitting the right positions.

Wod:

10 min AMRAP

5 pull ups

5 knees to elbow

10 kb swings (1.5p)

20 double unders

7 rounds + 10 kb swings

Paced myself better on this wod but should have turned it up to "balls to the wall" sooner than the last round, definitely still had some in the tank after going all out the last min. I'm thinking the next AMRAP I do I'll try to work around 90% of capacity until 2:00-1:45ish left and see if I can basically red line it for that much longer.

Recently watched a video where RFjr talked about how he does about 800 WODs a day and that he never gets to the point where he can't do another wod after the one he's doing, or something like that. Basically he knows how hard he can push himself so that he can keep training throughout the day. I was actually thinking about that before I did the first wod cause I knew I would be doing another a few hours later. Well that went out the window as soon as the first wod started, hence the no pacing either. Felt pretty beat after the first wod, ate about 3/4 of a sweet potato after and about an hour and a half later was feeling pretty good for the second wod. Can't imagine I could do this kind of volume very consistently, might have helped that I didn't do anything yesterday, but I could see some two a days in my future just for s and g. I've had plenty of days in the past where I do a good amount of lifting and then a metcon or lifting and gymnastics but I'm pretty sure this was the first multi metcon day. Guess well see how I feel over the weekend.
