5 sets
15 thrusters 65#
350m row
rest 4 minutes

Results
A. 125, 135, 145, 155, 165x4
failed the last one at 165#, started to feel really heavy at 155 which was disappointing! feeling antsy to really start getting stronger again after the open is over

B. 2:08, 2:05, 2:09, 2:11, 2:15
all the thrusters UB, those weren't too bad. it was the row that started to drastically slow down by the end. the first few I kept my pace at around 1:53-1:55 and by the last one I was above 2:00 almost the whole time

B. :36, :33, :31, :30, :30, :31
don't know if I fully open my hips at the top. after the first round, I really tried to focus on that but somehow kept getting faster so I'm thinking maybe I was still not doing it right haha

14:50
woo-weee this felt really hard for some reason. even the deadlift felt heavy by the end. that dang s2o felt bad too. my double unders were decent at best.  the only thing that really felt fine were the toes to bar! I'm just worn out!

I caught up on some much needed rest over spring break!

Training
14.2 attempt #2

Results
188 reps
YAY! So excited to get into the 16's.  Much better on this second attempt than I was expecting!  paced it much better this time, breaking the pull ups up into smaller sets from the beginning, like 5's and 4's and eventually 3's and 2's ha! felt so much better than on Friday, excited for 14.3

Daily score: 7
have felt pretty good this whole week! I've been busy with family stuff going on, so I just dropped in at cfs at home for a quick metcon on Wednesday and took Thursday as a complete rest day

Training
14.2

Results
137
so so hard!
on the second set of 14 ohs, I failed the snatch just as a result of trying to pick it up too fast, and then on my 5th rep I lost my balance and I dropped it behind me.  that added on quite a bit of time and lost a lot of energy snatching it up 2 extra times!  got back to the pull up bar and got 5 in a row but then I realized I only had like 10 seconds left so basically gave up and did a couple singles.  I think/HOPE I can do better Monday!  determined to make it to those 16's!!!

feeling pretty good today!  had a nice weekend with my grandparents, always come back from their house feeling refreshed:)

Training
Open 14.1 attempt #2

Results
5 rounds + 1 rep (226)
even though this isn't a really good score, this felt SO SO much better than Friday.  stayed calm the whole time, didn't get mad even once! REALLY need to change my technique now that this is over though because mine is really exhausting and inefficient.  on to 14.2!

these were hard and not fun! tried my hardest to keep it below 2 minutes on all 5, but kept running out of steam

practiced double unders a lot, trying to change my whole technique so I can actually do them right but I'm realizing that is going to be a much longer process than just this weekend! So I'm gonna just do what I can on Monday, and wear pants that fit, and go at a time where there are no distractions and just see what happens... this is a big wake up call though that my double under issue is a reallll set back that I have gotta do something about. maybe this is a good thing, so I'll actually start to take these things seriously so this will NOT happen next year!
