02-10-09 Tuesday Week 2

Proof I'm actually doing the focused lifts, I swear.

Feeling pretty tired today after yesterday's killer day. I think it was all both Tommy and I could do just to get through the lifts and the metcon today. Rest day tomorrow will be welcome.

8:00PM -- Metcon: "Elizabeth" (what's Elizabeth?)
Shana 14:53 w/95# (PR by almost 10 minutes!)
Tommy 17:48 Rx

...................................................................................................
I was really hungry when I did "Elizabeth" ... felt good on the deads but core was spent by the time I got to those damn squat-cleans. First set of ring dips I got 10 in a row, after that it was more like 1 or 2 at a time. Items of food eaten today were quality - just not the timing. I was pretty busy and went about 9+ hours without eating at all and it probably affected my performance.

A-mazing, Shana. To what do you attribute the 10 minute improvement? Diet? I can't imagine if you were actually rested and not so hungry when you did it. I'm inspired.

Great blog, I plan to follow your progress for inspiration. can you post stats? age/height/weight thanks. good luck with the games.

Thanks, PatC! Uh -- well my previous PR for Elizabeth was back in April of '08 so I imagine that much time consistently doing CF made the gains almost inevitable, but I'm sure all those front squats lately haven't hurt, either!


Donna, I'm glad to post stats! Thanks for following ... it motivates me to know people out there are interested in what I'm doing! Thanks for commenting!
