WOD 2: 1-10 DOUBLE BURPEE LADDER WITH 60 YARD RUNS BETWEEN EACH LADDER

My strength plan called for deadlifts and presses today but my back was still a little tight from Wednesday. i haven't split jerked at all in at least 6-8 weeks, so i went for a heavy single and pr'd by 10#'s reaching a lifetime goal of a 315# split jerk! i was stoked and it didn't even feel that hard. i had an early miss at 285# and knew it was a fluke, i just needed a reality check to get my ass under the bar! feeling pretty pumped up about the pr we went right into the wod. i had the pleasure of going head to head with another up and coming, Nick Luchessi, and the battle was close. i was able to pull on him a little during the hspu's otherwise it would have been a tight one. we had 5 different sleds set up outside, all pretty close in weight but definitely different in the feel, especially when pushing the yoke, very awkward. this was a really good wod, the hspu's made the ohs squats pretty rough and the sled pushes made the walking lunges a little more crippling. i finished in 12:32.

after teaching a class, Nick and i tackled a gasser i saw on BLAIR MORRISONS BLOG which was a double burpee ladder from 1-10 with a 60 yrd run in between them for a total of 110 burpees and 1200m of running. pretty good one, not too gassing, mostly just burnt up the quads and shoulder. i was able to stay pretty consistent on my runs and burpee pace and finished in 9:36. one more day of training then I'm taking an entire week off, i might go crazy so I'm going to try and do something long and horrible in hopes that ill be sore til at least Tuesday..haha
