CrossFit 20:00 [4] 2000.0 mi (1 / mi)
shoes: barefoot
Warm-up: 5:00
100 Burpees for time
Didn't finish (the arbitrary goal of) 100, which is supposedly a "fail" but really not a failure at all. Turn failure into insight.
Timer Started, 10 reps felt like the natural set (10 x 10 for 100) with a 1 minute rest, but by the middle of the second set I realized I couldn't do a complete 10. So I adjusted to make 10 sets for QUALITY which means that I focused on form of the entire movement until muscle failure:
From the overhead jump to the squat, plank, and the push-up, and the reverse jump from plank to squat and then jump from squat. When I narrated the movement in my head as I was doing them I noticed how strong each piece of the movement felt, muscle failure was occurring around 5-6, but it was consistent from set to set, which means that a set of 7 is a better goal than 10. Overall, the quality of my burpee is much stronger than the first few times I did the movement. Win!

O-Lifts 15:00 [3]
shoes: men's house sandals
The hamster cage that passes for the weight room at the town's university in this town is depressing. It cost $20 to go 10 times and the daily time is from only 6-8pm (which limits me to 4 days a week). So the place is over-run with college kids and I can't comfortably run through my lifts without fear of smacking one of these kids in the head, constantly waiting to get their attention and make them aware of the presence of my bar. Annoying. Open your eyes kids! Really takes the fun out of it. Sat/Sun are quiet, guess they're all playing in the arcades then.
1 Set of 5 reps, before I had to get out of there.
Front Squat
Overhead Sq
Press
Push Press
Deadlift
Thruster (with a deadlift added in there for some reason)
