Tearin' it up

We're about 36hours away from the Iron Fitness Games and I am getting so excited! Mostly because Rob said I could eat quinoa tomorrow for lunch and dinner in preparation for Saturday. Oh man, quinoa and lifting heavy things?! The next few days are already awesome!

I felt great today. Lots of energy and I never felt hungry at any point. If anything, I felt full even when I NEEDED to eat. I'm glad to be over that awful hump of always feeling hungry when kicking off a new meal plan.

OLYMPIC LIFTING

This is the first time I've done clean and jerks since my wrist has been feeling funky so I started at really light just to get used to being in the rack position again. I ended up just doing cleans. My wrists felt fine until my last lift at 151# that I failed. I got in my head with that one.
Clean & jerk from blocks, peak of 1

Just over 5months of crossfit and I finally rip my hands...not happy about that. 

I am happy that I'm getting better at toes-to-bars! I can get one but stringing another one will have to wait for another day I guess. Knees to elbows have been my arch nemesis since WODtoberfest so to get a couple t2b was a great feeling.
