1. 1000m run, 30 HSPU, 1000m row
time: 14+ minutes
thoughts: too much ego and didn't stick to plan. kept run easy. felt good on the first set of HSPU, hit 6 and then 4 and got greedy, by middle teens was failing reps. went out too hot on the row, couldn't pace myself -- first 300m rowed at 1:38 --> 1:43, by the end of the 1k was rowing in the 1:55+ range.

2. thruster ladder. Hit 150#, didn't control 155# overhead and foot-faulted. In retrospect, should have held myself to a higher standard in practice.

3. 21-15-9 deadlift 205 and box jump 24" to standing
time: 3:30
decent workout, broke dl several times in middle round. maybe in 3rd round too? but i think it was good too because i was losing back integrity. few no-reps on the box jump so i stepped down most of middle round. could've been faster but with standards so strict keeping it slower was smart.

4. 100 x pull-up, kbs, d-u, ohs.
time: 23:00
this smacked me. i expected to do really great, and i didn't. no snappiness in the kbs, hard time controlling overhead. grip smoked for du's, hard time getting those started. lots of fatigue in my low back for ohs, 10-15 "no-reps" and i'm not actually sure why (not controlling weight overhead?).

5. 9-7-5 muscle up and 95 snatch. DNF in 15 min cap.
didn't practice enough with the height and width of the rings, or with such a complete turnout. many failed reps. very disappointed with myself on this one.

6. chipper. time: 13 minutes or so. took row pretty easy, burpees were slow but i couldn't rush them without getting called no-rep for not "pausing" on top of the plate. ground-to-overhead were OK, but slow and i didn't keep a nice straight back. KTE were slow -- I got no-repped my second rep for my heels not going behind the bar so i gave up on the quick kip. Mostly in singles but it was fast enough.

Overall, third place finish. Wasn't pleased with how I performed this weekend but I am happy that I got the chance to go to California. And I know I have more than what I put out there. Lessons learned: dealing with nerves, dealing with ego and sticking to plan.
