2021 Age Group Online Qualifier Event 5

12-9-6 (10:00 Time Cap)

  • OHS (165#)
  • Burpee Box Jump Over (30″)

I hadn’t done an overhead squat in over a year until two weeks ago and this is heavy! I did the first six and had to drop the bar. Oh boy! Even had a single in that round of 12, but made a comeback the rest of the way to get through 3 of the 6 OHS for 45 reps of the 54 total. I would have loved to finish this one, but my overhead stability and leg strength coming out of the bottom of the OHS just isn’t there. Proud I kept fighting while having to do 8-9 snatches I think!

Made it through a really tough weekend without tweaking my back and that’s a first place trophy for me. It was fun to compete again and I’m sure I’ll have more to say after the final results are out tonight.

Rowing Kalsu PR

My lower body is a little sore in several places. My shoulder didn’t seem to bother me as much during the night. Slept in until after 7:30! I guess I’m by myself until after Christmas.

Warm-up

  • 5:00 BikeErg (2,516m)
  • 30 PVC Passes
  • 5 DB Push Press (35#)

Conditioning

Rowing Kalsu

  • 100 cal Row
  • EMOM – 5 Burpees over the Rower
    *start with Burpees at 0:00

I’ve been wanting to do this one for months. Almost three years ago it took me 8:40. A long time before that, spending the entire first minute on the rower (incorrect way to do it), it took me 7:52. Today it took me 7:41!! 💥

I got 15 calories in each of the first two rounds and slowed to about 1,200 cal/hr after that. I had 9 or 10 cals left for the final push. I was getting done with the burpees by :20 every round.

4 Rounds

  • 2:00
    • 20 cal BikeErg (standing)
    • MAX DB Push Press (40#)
  • 2:00 Rest

I went 10-18, 15-12, 14-15, and 15-15 for totals of 28-27-29-30. Would not have expected to be able to increase.

10:00 TrueForm Walk

Just something extra to cool down. Went 1.23 km.
