This mornings skill was Clean and Jerks adding to the hang cleans and squat cleans that we've focused on this week. Tim did a great job on the skill portion walking us through the movements one step at a time into hang cleans, then squat cleans and finally split jerks. It was fun to do these movements with a lighter bar (18kg) though my chin paid the price for it a few times. Ouch.
The (sleepy and sunshine-y) warmup was a bit more challenging - Tim had us 'skip' the 400 meters that we would typically jog - I got a little tripped up in the corners and my shoulders were sore/ tired but it was an interesting change up. I did however wish we were just jogging (and chatting - harder to chat while needing so much concentration).
WOD
AMRAP 7
1 hang clean
1 squat clean
2 hang clean
2 squat clean
3... etc.
On every minute 3 burpees
Score is number of rounds and reps
9/0 (18kg - Rx)
This a fun WOD... I think I got part way into 5 rounds in the first minute but then throw in the burpees and the increasing number of reps and it wasn't even possible to complete a full round per minute. I enjoyed Rx-ing at a lower weight today though - allowed for strong focus on the movement and my tired quads from Wednesday's WOD and yoga needed the scale back.
Afterwards I interviewed Tim for a piece I'm going to submit to the Crossfit Games 2012 team to (hopefully) be selected to write for them leading up to the games. Now I need to focus on writing the piece - goal for this weekend. Fingers crossed they pick me.
Tomorrow WOD in the park - Tim is coaching and while I begged for no burpess I have a feeling that it means that we will most definitely have to do some burpees. Sunday is most definitely for rest. My body needs it.
