Bounce Back

Today I tried to better my score from work out #1 of the open. We were given a week extension to submit our scores so I thought I would try this work out again with a goal of 6+ rounds. I knew I needed 3 rounds before 5 minutes. This work out was the only work out I have ever quit on. At just over 5 minutes I hit 3 rounds, and I doubted myself to finish over 3 rounds in the second half of the work out. The first time I tried it, I felt sick to my stomach and I am still sore almost 5 days later. At about the 6 min mark I called it quits. I am super disappointed in myself, but I am not strong enough mentally to push myself when "I already have a score that I tried my hardest to get." Hopefully the next 5 weeks' work outs play in my favor because this work out destroyed me physically first... and now I feel like I got my ass handed to me mentally.

I took half the day off then decided to kick my own ass in OPT's work out for the day.

I was super disappointed in myself this morning so I figured I would go hard at my afternoon work out. I am stoked on my results. I push pressed 140# two times, I did American swings with the 2pd KB for my first time (4 sets of 15 unbroken!), and I did 72 DB squat cleans and 72 ring dips in less than 25 minutes.
