Today I warmed up with about 140 double unders, give or take a few. Things started off great - I got one set of 25 and another 30 in there - but then my sets went drastically down in terms of consecutiveness after 100. I was glad to get to my goal of 25 in a row for the month, but am now shooting for a little more consistency.

WOD was

Squat Cleans 1-1-1-1-1-1-1?

My work sets started at 85 and I worked up to 110 after failing at 115 a few times. Egh. I haven't squat cleaned anything in a few weeks, so I shouldn't be too discouraged, but I feel like getting better at Oly lifts wouldn't take much doing besides consistent practice, which I am not doing at the moment. Ah well, another thing to put on the list.

Met con afterward was

10 rounds

30 sec KB swings (1 pood)
30 sec wall balls (16 lb)

My goal was to get to 200, but I only managed 191. Stopped early a couple of times in the late rounds, which did me in.

Afterward I worked on kipping a little bit, and was pleased to get a couple (2, then 3-ish) in a row! For some reason the rhythm just clicked for me today, and I was grateful for that. I was not grateful, however, for the parking ticket I found on my windshield after the WOD, though. D'oh!

Had a technically Paleo, but too sugar-heavy day today. Was discouraged at my failure to resist the pull of fruit (and then some dark chocolate), but am now feeling recommitted to a fruit- and sunbutter-free existence for the rest of the early spring.

Thanks for reminding me to update the blog!! Nice work on the metcon; it looked completely brutal. I'm going to try to squeeze in a make-up version tomorrow.

Sunbutter and fruit are my crutches of the moment, too... but at least they aren't cupcakes, dammit.
