Mr. Tanneran - "Hey Louden, you think you're overextending yourself on this Shute challenge?"
Louden - "Definitely."
Mr. Tanneran - "You know you have a tendency to do that."
Louden - "Sometimes you got to, remember? This is like one of them times."

Rest. Calves a little sore but not as bad as I thought.

Boys came home with gel in their hair after their haircuts. They were so adorable. I am biased, but they need to be in GAP commercials. All indications are that they got a really good teacher in first grade.

12 x 24" box jump
8 x 245# deadlift

~11:00. This was the first wod from CF Katy bring the heat challenge this past weekend. Cut-off was 12 min, so good to know I would have most likely finished albeit way towards the end. Deadlifts were much heavier than I projected, did all unbroken except last set but much slower than I thought. Lost time in stopping to put on belt and move around Y. Under ideal conditions could probably do this ~10:30.

~28 minutes. Underestimated this one. Brutal. Legs dead from 2k row yesterday which was a surprise, had next to nothing on the box jumps - did them unbroken but pretty slow. Lower back just fell to pieces, almost cramping. Deads were easy enough but had to take breaks so back would unwind a little bit.

Did tabata squats, tabata single unders, and planks with BC class.

~24:20. Ran both miles at ~7 minutes with a pretty decent kick at end. Row was 7:44, ~1:56 pace. I kept a three stroke rhythm on the row - one easy pull, one medium, one hard. Was glad to get off the rower when it was done. Rolled before the WOD, stretched after. Calf felt fine, ankle felt ok but took 2-3 minutes of running to get it loose. Wrist is better but still not 100%, still icing it like crazy.

Amy registered boys for school yesterday, up all night thinking of how far they have come and how far they have to go.......

Did 6.5 400s. Ran first ~80 sec I think and the rest between 90-95 sec. Not fast but had me bent over gasping for air after each. Jogged to Pearland East and back so I could run on track. Very sweaty. Wrist is pretty painful so will have to lay off upper body indefinitely, no idea what I have done to it.

175-195-205-215-225-235

ended up doing split clean on all reps. Have not jerked in forever so I guess this went ok. 235# was tough, but think I could have done 5-10# more.

Metcon
5 rounds for time and max reps
95# thruster
pullups

I think I did 57/55 in ~10 minutes. Brutal. No break from my last clean and jerk, as soon as I got bar prepped it was time to go. Did 21 each in first round then dropped off quite a bit.
