Week three of the CrossFit Open. How in the world did I get into this stuff? Crazy how much fun it has been and how I have actually looked forward to hearing the workouts, etc.

Today’s workout was announced yesterday at 3:00 p.m. I made sure I was in my office on a “‘phone call” so I could get the announcement right away!
Then I actually went to the gym when I left work so I could get some coaching tips and practice hanging knee raises. Not sure I could do 30 of those. After practicing a few times, I’m sure I can do them it will just be slow. But who really cares – I have 15 minutes causes not like I can do much more of the workout!

Here are the workouts (yes, there are two for today):

21.3

21.4

The first workout was pretty tough. Took me quite awhile but it was ok because I had 15 mins to do the first workout. The front squats with 45# and the thrusters with 45# was tough. I got to about 11 and wasn’t sure I could finish to 15. But pushed through and got them! The hanging knee raises took quite awhile as I haven’t figured out how to get a good grip on the bar so I slip a lot. I FINALLY managed to get through those.

Then on to workout 21.4 – weightlifting complex. Here are my results.

21.4

PR by 30# for the split jerk. This was a good workout and great way to start the day. 
So fun to have done this Open. Glad people encouraged me to sign-up!
