Today was the third workout in the CrossFit Open 20.3. This is actually a repeat of 18.4, repeats happen every year, but this is the first time I’ve actually repeated a workout that I had done in a previous Open. Here is what happened last time. I have a higher 1 rep max but actually did 2 reps less this time around. Friday Night Lights is a powerful motivator. I might have been able to move a little bit faster, but can’t imagine getting 2 more reps.
I finished in our gym’s modified scaled division again. Same exact weight scheme and everything. All in a 9 minute time cap. I finished 92 reps – 185lbs for the first sets 21-15-9 (deadlift and hand release pushups). Which was 2 reps at 255lbs Deadlift. No need to worry about the shoulder taps or anything else!

The lifting was you go, I go 1 rep power cleans to a heavy single in a 10 minute time box. Dan and I started at 45 and worked up to 135. I could maybe have gone a few more pounds with more time. We started with 5 lb jumps, then 2.5 as we got higher up in weight.
The MetCon was 9-11-13-15 burbees and dumbbell snatches with 35# snatches. I finished in 7:16. It was tough to ascend. The burbees were rough!

Bike commute today. It was cool both ways, but rainy on the way there. This time I remembered all of my rain gear!! Rain cap for my helmet, check. Rain coat, check. Rain pants, check. Rain covers for my shoes, check. I stayed 98% dry. My feet were a little damp and I had one wet spot on my pants – which just happened to be in the crotch area! It dried fairly quickly – at least no one said anything to me. It was kind of funny as my legs felt warm and my arms were chilly. I was wearing a short sleeve jersey under my rain coat!
On the way home I had a headwind for the Westward ride and it was pretty strong. I felt warm overall.
11 miles.

I was able to sneak out to ride at Elm Creek on a cool morning. It was actually great weather. I got a flat shortly before finishing the first section. I had a new tube, but my CO2 was empty. So I walked out to the parking lot. There was a pump at the trailhead, but it didn’t work. Fortunately there was someone in the lot with a pump so I was able to pump it up and hit the trails. They were in perfect shape and had recently been cleared of leaves. It was 37 when I started and had warmed up to 47 when I finished. Everything but my toes were warm!
Enjoyed the trails so much. Wish they weren’t so far away from home. 11 miles.
