HSC: 65kg. Not a very comfortable lift for me. Definitely needs some work.
WOD: 8:48Rx
No time to rest the lungs on this one. Great job 6am!
Hng Squat Clean: 67kg
WOD: 10:23 (50 dbl unders scale)
Setting August goal now: 15 unbroken dbl unders.
HSC: 80kg
WOD: 9:29 – scaled to 50 double unders. Pretty happy with this as this was the first time I didn’t scale to singles. Something started to click – before today I could only get a couple doubles in a row if I was lucky.
HSC: 50kg (same as my lovely training partners brooke and jess–safe travels Brooke!)
WOD: 8:32 rx
HSC: 45kg – Was getting the technique by the last two sets, it totally feels weird.
WOD: 12:40
I think my Aug goal will be stringing together doubleunders since I was able to do some in the WOD today.
HSC: 55kg
WOD: 13:58. Didn’t finish the DUs before the 6 minute round 1 cap, only made it to 35 DUs + 45 singles (50 equiv). Second round, did 35 DUs and 195 singles.
Good cues today from Eric and Erika on the lifting and Julie on the DUs. Thanks!
HSC 30kgs – still jumping too wide on the squats
WOD 11:00 – scaled to singles. I have to get back to practicing DUs.
HSC: 60kg (a great backwards FAIL too at 65kg! my first that way)
WOD: 7:53 Rx
