A Goat in CrossFit is essentially the stuff you don't want to pop up out of the hopper..the stuff you dread..usually because you suck at it or in my case because I suck at and don't practice it. This will not happen again next year.
Today was CF WOD 11.5 (or #5 for some of you hipsters).
AMRAP 20min
5 Power Cleans, 145lb
10 Toes 2 Bar
15 Wall Ball
I have nothing to say about this WOD except that I've been dreading it since it was posted. The only thing I'm good at is the Power cleans, which I did unbroken for all but 1 round. My toes 2 bar were unbroken for the first round and then died out after that. I'm just not efficient at kipping them yet and I never practice. Wall ball is more mental than anything to me. I find myself missing the wall (at proper height) and that DOESN'T count..contrary to what most of the people doing the WOD today thought, until I told Ryan the standard...just in time for the final heat (my heat).
I ended up with 7 rounds and 25 points (just 5 damn wall ball shy of 8 rounds). I already have a super secret periodized program that I'm dying to start as soon as the Open is over this year.
My friend and fellow Lifestyle Family Fitness goer AC, met me at the gym after mobility and I put together a "fun" little AMRAP for us.
AMRAP 10
5 Tire Flips
max reps Power Snatch, 115lb
Tire flips were the time keeper...the other person did as many PSN as possible in the time it took the other to knock out 5 tire flips. I finished somewhere around 34 and AC hit 40...but he started first :)
My lower back and hamstrings are done.
I really have nothing else to say, except sorry if this lacked my usual wit and humor...it gets tiring, just like Paul Potorti, who may or may not still be my friend.

3...2..1...wait! Umm, really, ok...go!
It's been a long time blah blah blah Ashley Thompson Denton made me blah blah blah I hate Paul Potorti blah blah blah
To appease people like Mitchell Rosser who say I don't talk enough about the "live" portion of my blog:
I had a nice lunch with Paul Saturday after working out at CFD...I paid, which makes him the luckiest girl in the world. I hope I didn't send him the wrong message, as I will not be calling him back.
Saturday night I was talked into going out to Ruckus with some people. My normal cheat day interfered a little and I only had 2.5 Red Oaks...and passed up chip and guac. I also only ate 8/10 slices of my large pizza and had 2 cookies...I think my stomach is shrinking.
Sunday was a nerd fest as I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 and the Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.....I watched them both alone and then cried myself to sleep.
That brings us to shit some of you (Ashley) might actually care about (I don't care if Paul gets bored, he sucks - ask Jeff).
Today I went with Rick to CrossFit Clayon. After watching a video on the CF Journal I had a WOD in mind and Matt agreed it was the right choice.
5-4-3-2-1
Deadlift, 315
Muscle Ups
5-4-3-2-1
C&J, 225
HSPU
5-4-3-2-1
Snatch, 135
Burpee w/ lateral hop over bar
The idea was the perform the 5-1, strip off a 45 and go on to the next couplet. The guys (James Hobart and Austin Malleolo (sp)) stated there goal was sub-10 since Graham Holmberg did it in about 10:17 or so.
I decided to wisely lower my weights to 275/185/95 for the couplets as I've never had more than 215 over head...except for this one time, but that was before Paul lost weight.
Matt being the champion that he is went RX and Rick used 275/165/85.
This. WOD. sucked. I immediately texted Ashley after to tell her such. I couldn't string together MU's together in the first set of 5...mental block I think. Once I talked myself through it I didn't have any more problems. The cleans felt pretty easy, but I missed a few jerks which def. cost me. Snatches were the easiest and I def. should have gone with 115.
Matt seemed to struggle and miss some reps as well. You could tell that we all thought this would be "easier" than it was. I made the joke at one point that this was a really fun "chipper".
All in all it was a pretty good workout. I finished in 26:11 and Rick in about 32...Matt was probably done around the 20min mark. Everything hurts. My back is fried and my shoulders are red. I plan on going back to play with Matt's balls...umm, stop. His new Hybrid Athletic Mold Made Atlas Stones. Ashley is invited as well...on a Thursday.
I hope you enjoyed my blog today. If not, fuck you.
Side Bar: I'm trying an experiment based on research. The experiment? If I talk shit about Paul Potorti will he find my blogs more or less interesting? He probably got excited just because I mentioned his name.
