I learned way too much to summarize here, but a couple of things really stuck. One was the hard-and-fast idea -- Mike has been telling me this for a while, but I realized I need to get faster with my movements. Another thing I realized is that if I want to compete (and I do), I need to teach my body to wake up quicker -- I'm going to need to do difficult workouts without overcomp work on each motion. This was something that hurt me a little on Saturday. Watching those 75# snatches, I see how slow and awkward the motion looks. There was a ton of technical stuff I learned, too, about shouldering the stone, cleaning the log, continental cleaning the fat bar, etc etc.
(Thanks Casey Geraghty for taking this photo!)
Here are some of the highlights:
-shouldered a 150# stone
-flipped the 650# tire a couple of times, but couldn't get two flips in a row
-continental-cleaned 175# on the fat bar
-cleaned the 10" log with 135#, couldn't press it
-carried the yoke heavier than Saturday
-dragged the tire with the harness, not sure of weight
A lot of fun, and I've got to try to make it back there soon for a "Heavy Friday."
