METCON:  here is where i ran into trouble. warmed up power snatch up to an OK 175 power snatch (my current PR is 180 and that was with straps). started the clock and missed 185 3 times in a row, so i cut it back to 175, which i promptly missed 3 times again. cut it back to 155 on the first round so i could move past it... second round tried 165 and missed 3 times, tries 155 missed three times. went for 135 again, just so i could get past the round. rounds 3 and 4 i did at 155, and round 5 i finally hit 165.

arguably the most frustrating part of an already frustrating week. every miss was not high enough for a power AND out in front. Ironically on my warm ups i almost missed 165 and 175 behind me.

A) 185, 235, 255, 275, 295. Could feel my back starting to round as I held the bottom position at 295... That was probably my limit today with mostly good technique.

2) 1:48
3) 3:00- shins and calves just blew up... Ended up walking the last 100m. 
They also were cramping a lot on Saturday but I was able to finish that one. Not today. Just painful. Going to a Chiro Friday to see if they can help release what ever is going on in there. 

5 rounds

The rows felt good actually, burpees sucked because I just could not jump. Landing was especially painful. Ended up stepping over on the last 3 rounds.

1st set of CTB felt great. AD was just awful... 58 calls in 4 minutes, but i wanted to fall off the bike at about 2 minutes in. my "high effort" felt like a crawl, but my legs just would not move faster.

not the best training I've ever had during halloween... i think i had a s'more between every lift i performed and thew down 2 pounds of fajitas during the session... lol! and passed out candy to the kiddos... oh well. multitasking.

A)255# went straight for 275 after and failed. let out too much air at the bottom. i think on another day i can hit that. followed with 240 and 230 and made both. 

B)180# thats another PS PR. first one was super solid, second caught barely above parallel. I did use straps for that one tho. lifting at a buddies garage with no chalk and a newly coated bar that was really slippery. and surrounded by kids, wanted no accidents there. 

C)225#, PC was the limiter there.
