Scaling isn't failing & Thorium

Monday 1st September 2014
@Crossfit Teesside

My welcome back to normal training this week was one of the worst wods I have ever done.  I RX'd this when I first did in June 2013 and my time was 16:21 last to finish in the heat and one of those where you really don't think you can!

21-15-9

Power cleans  35kg
Thrusters     

8:26   (30kg) ..I tried a thruster at the full weight and it felt really heavy, I didn't want to struggle like last time so I stuck with a weight I knew I could do.  If I had tried more and persevered I'm sure I would have managed okay enough and smashed my time but as it was I was able to keep up a really fast pace/high intensity and think more about technique.  Cleans were unbroken and thursters were in sets of 5 (so still quite hard!).  I felt like I got a lot out of it.  Although I missed out on a pb I didn't regret scaling ..mostly because I enjoyed the wod this time!

..afterwards - 1 strict bar muscle up, some rebound toes to bar

Tuesday 2nd September 2014
@Crossfit Teesside

15 minute AMRAP

10 pull ups
20 box jumps
200m run

5+30 RXD

Pull ups felt really good for some reason got a good rhythm going managed a set of 10 and big sets all the way through.

..afterwards - failed 3 ring muscle up attempts (why do I keep trying to this after wods??)
5 strict ring pull ups, 2 strict bar muscle ups, few rebound toes to bar, 25 GHD sit ups.

Wednesday 3rd September 2014
@ Crossfit Teesside

..another tough one!

10, 9, 8, 7 etc - 1

Push Press     42.5kg
Front rack lunges
15 Double under every round

10:14 35kg unbroken apart from 1 set of push press.  Told by Coach should have put on more weight. I think this time I could have but again it felt heavy when testing it out...though once the wod started and I put some aggression into it I was able to cycle the push presses better than I have done before.  However, many other times I have put on the full weight and only been able to do 1s and 2s.

THorium Qualifier WOD 3!

10 minutes:
 
42 burpee over the box jumps
42 wall balls
42 pull ups

remaining time ring muscle ups

126 9:59 pb!  Woohoo just managed to get all the  pullups in, even though took 30 seconds longer on the other stuff. Wall balls went very wrong and got loads of no reps!
