Thursday 9-8-2011
Another off day. Ridiculous! But first week of school, and I am trying to be patient with myself. And happy with the direction training will take. Class ran late, I missed train -- that WON'T happen again. Catalyst starts tomorrow.

First amrap back

Monday 9-5-2011

A. BS 20x0 2-3 rest 3m x 7
3 x 185, 205, 215, 225(2), 220, 225(2), 225
Felt weak. Didn't miss any reps, just didn't try any hard reps without a spotter. Not a great effort.

B. 6 min amrap
5 thrusters 95#
5 CTB
8 rds + 1 rep

This was my first timed workout since the games. Felt apprehensive beforehand, in part because I was feeling sick (allergies? clinical?) but I think also because I hadn't done any conditioning work like that in five weeks. Felt like crap before, during, after so it's hard to say much about this one.

Tuesday 9-6-2011
Unplanned off day. Rained all day, hit traffic on the way home from clinical. Sick.
AND besides that, realized it is time to take hold of my training, think about the big plan. So I took the day off with intention to start Oly phase 9-7-2011.
