Still on cloud 9

So I finally got home from the games on Monday and hit the gym on Tuesday with a good one..

July 14
21-15-9
thrusters 65#
pull-ups
KB swings 35#
400m run
Time 15 something
A tough one but good. I had to do jumping because my hands are still a little torn from an older WOD and I didn't want them to rip open again. I did double up on jumping and that sucked. I still think I went faster doing jumping then if i had kipped but by doing jumping my heart rate never dropped. When I kip my heart rate drops a bit. Went straight through the thrusters on all sets as well as the KB swings.

July 15
Wanted to do a game wod so I picked
3 rounds
30 wall balls 14# ball
30 squat snatches 45#
18:18

Holy smokes batman! Leg buster! I can only imagine how miserable this was for the competitors. This was the last workout on the first day. The 5th WOD of the day after running, deadlifts, rowing and other misery they had to do this. YIKES! Fastest time at the games was low 11:00min. Truly amazing!

July 16
I had to cover Ben's classes and wasn't really into what Steve posted so Mel and I did
7 rounds
7 OHS 75#
7 Box jumps 24''
7 Wall Balls 16#
Time 13:28

Holy smokes batman! leg buster! Not sure what I was thinking when I made this WOD up. My legs were sore from yesterday but I really wanted to do some overhead squats. So why not. It was a good one. The numbers were challenging but low enough that you did not want to rest. You could get through 7 easily so that kept you moving the whole workout. Good stuff!
