Events 6/3

It was hot again today. I was a sweaty mess just from warmups.

Log
worked up to 260 which is the comp weight
warm up set of 3 (I need to make sure I get a warm up in with the comp weight at the competition because my first set always feels bad)
set of 9
set of 8

The first set went pretty well, I just wasn't able to find a rhythm. I know I need to squeeze a few more out of this to stay in the top couple places. The second set the jerk went much better and I kept a better rhythm. I just need to put both together and I should be fine.

Farmers
I did one very fast and easy run with 280. It was probably only like 60' so a little short, but that's because there was some other stuff in the way.

Tire Flip
I think we used Jesse's 600 pound tire, which is harder to flip than just about any tires I've used in competitions that were supposedly heavier.

I did two quick and fairly easy runs. I'm happy with how these felt since it was the first time I had trained them in probably over a year.

Car DL
I used a suit with the straps down and moved the car up again this week so it was heavier.

2 sets of 10

Duck Walk
I am more worried about this than any other event. I don't know if it's the set up or if I'm just bad at them, but they are just terrible to train. I think a lot of it was the set up though because Jesse was giving me all kinds of shit about it and tried to do a run and made it about 5 feet, and he is supposedly the king of duck walks. I also remember a competition last year that had one and training it went awful and I basically ran with it at the competition.

Who knows, I guess I just have to do what I can to be quick.

Sled Drag
I knew I needed to work these too since I really hadn't for a long time. There was 400ish on the sled, so more than comp weight, and all the runs I did felt pretty easy. My quads were burning, but that's expected.

I was happy to get through all the events, and to have good runs on all of them but the duck walk. It took almost 4 hours I think, so timing was probably close to competition time too. It was hot and I was really starting to crash so I just considered the sled drags conditioning and didn't do any other accessory work.
