Ouch!
90 toes to bar + sweat + chalk = blisters that tear open in the third round
Yeah...ouch! I could feel my fingers blistering around rep 15 in the third round. It was all I could do to make myself finish the round. I knew if I kept going the blisters would get bigger and then tear open. I just gives me the heebie jeebies feeling the blister rubbing back and forth knowing it's going to rip open any second. Ugh! Well it finally happened with about 7 reps left. I guess that's not horrible. Thankfully I didn't bleed. Just some loose skin to tear off. Yuck.
Anyway....
3 Rounds for time of:
30 Toes to bar
21 Ground to overhead (Men 95 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
My time: 21:31, Rx
I figured out how to kip toes to bar again - briefly. It seems once my forearms fatigue it's hard to maintain it. I managed to kip 7 ttb in the first round and 5 in the second but that was it. I had some doubles but other than that, it was single, single, single, single, single...
I did all power snatches on the ground to overhead. It's the most efficient (in my opinion) so I went with it. 65 is a manageable weight for power snatch.
Glad that's over with.
Tomorrow sounds scary.
