TGIF and Randy!

Happy Friday y'all! 

It has come to my attention that a few people still actually read my blog (Hi girls!) and I need to start blogging again.  So here I am.  This is blog #2 for the day.  I will be gone for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow.  However, when I get back from vacation I promise to faithfully blog again, now that I know someone actually reads it. 

Today we did one of my favorite Hero WODs - “Randy” in honor Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member was killed February 7 in the line of duty.

"Randy"
75 reps for time of:
Power snatch (Men 75 lbs, Women 55 lbs)

My time:  7:20 - PR by 20 seconds!

At the start I had intentions of doing sets of 15 or 10.  After a set of 15, that went out the window.  It's always easier in my imagination.  I ended up doing several sets of 5 and 3 and a couple of 2's, hoping to get close to my previous PR.  I ended up beating it by 20 seconds.  A great way to end the week and start vacation.

Strength was:
4 min EMOM 5 back squats @ 105#
4 min EMOM 5 front squats @ 85#
4 min EMOM 5 OH squats @ 55#

I went a little light on these.  Should have been closer to 130, 110, and 80, but I was saving up for Randy.  Ha ha!

And with that, I am out of here, headed for this little piece of paradise in the Turks & Caicos Islands:



TGIF!!
