Open WOD 11.1/14/1

Hang Power Snatch
3 @95#
Pretty happy with that, not too far off the mark.

METCON
CrossFit Games OPEN WOD 11.1/14.1
10 min AMRAP
30 DU
15 Snatch

Only got 4 rounds and felt terrible!  Couldn't keep my heart rate down or control my breathing.  It was so frustrating!  I was also trying to be careful on the snatches and not aggravate my back.  I remember last time I did this, my back was blown up afterwards because I was basically doing muscle snatches.

I've done this WOD before.  In 2011 I was recovering from mono and DNFed after 2 or 3 rounds.
And I did it twice in 2014 and got 304 reps (6 rounds + 4 snatches).  When I did it today, I misremembered and thought I got 8 rounds and was really pissed that I only got 4.  But it was 6 so that makes me feel slightly better although I'm still disappointed with today's performance.  One day at at time.

Burpee

Time: 7:19

Didn't feel so great today.  Of course right when I was starting to feel good I had to go and knock myself out of ketosis.  Had a couple beers and some cheat foods while we were moving this weekend.  Tasted amazing but now I feel like I did before, sluggish and fatigue easy during workouts.  This was only my 3rd carb up day since I started February 1st.  I don't think I'm going to cheat again for awhile if I can help it.

MOVING DAY!

5/19/17

First night in the new house and first day at the new gym!  I've been terrible at recording workouts the last couple weeks with moving and changing gyms and everything.
Since I have an opportunity to coach at CFE, I'm not going to be training at South Florida CF anymore unfortunately.

Today was my first WOD at CFE and I felt so good!

Pause Front Squats 3 reps @70%
Worked up to 125# and felt good!

METCON
5 Rounds:
10 Push Press @ 65#
15 Situps
200m Run

This was the first workout or training session where I actually felt fat adapted and had limitless energy.  I felt really good on the run and my heart rate wasn't skyrocketing.  Lately I've been feeling like I redline really easy and get gassed quickly, like my body is looking for glucose when there isn't any.  Or I thought I was just out of shape.  But today made me feel like things are changing and my body is getting used to burning fat for fuel.
