August 16th-18th

Did the May 23, 2011 Main Page WoD:
35 Double-Unders (passing a rope twice under your feet on one hop)
1 snatch
Post time and total weight lifted (don't count missed lifts)

I finished in 9:33 and lifted 1155 total, but I didn't know you weren't supposed to try again after a miss, so it really should have been 995 (6 makes at 165lb snatch).  My rounds with DUs varied between slick (first round DUs in about 27 seconds) to sick - Rd 5 was an anemic 1:35 or so for the DUs.  Just kept tripping up - lost all rhythm.  Hard work.  I saw some times on the main page for people who lifted about a 1000lb and finished in just over 4 minutes - that's flying.
My rounds: 0:48/1:20/1:41/1:00/1:52/1:36/1:13 = 9:33

Next day I did a light no-gi striking and grappling workout.

18 August was a late workout, almost 9 pm and it was a self-designed "goat" workout - doing skills and things that I suck at.  Yummy.
3 rounds for time of:
50 DU's, 20 foot handstand walk, 30 seconds of L-sit, 40 air squats, and 40 pullups
Rounds were - 5:57/7:28/8:36 = 22:02
Pullups were largely the limiting factor, although DUs in one of the rounds were a little frustrating, as well.  Handstand walk was adequate, but not where I want it to be yet.  L-sit for 30 seconds is harder than it sounds.  Tomorrow, try to keep the workout streak going even though I'm on a plane most of the day across the country.

Esse quam videri.
