Going back to the Ranch!

I did the last Chance Qualifier on May 31. I'm very happy about my efforts.

After the NW qualifier I was a little down, but I knew I had a second chance. Papa had to remind me that I was still training for the Games and should keep my sights on that fact. The Friday before the Last Chance I went to bed relaxed after a long week at gymnastics, knowing that I had a chance. Papa and I both have great integrity with the CrossFit community and that gave me a lot of confidence.

When the workouts were posted Saturday morning, I knew everything was playing out to my advantage. None of my greatest weaknesses were posted... Whew! They required that you complete all three workouts and post the videos online all within 24 hours. It didn't matter in which order you did them.

I did all the workouts at CrossFit Eastside and Carrie Klumpar acted as the judge with the watch so Papa could work the camera.
I knew I had a long day ahead so I decided to get the toughest one over with first:

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps
Power Clean @ 105#
Chest to Bar Pullup
Kettlebell swing with 16kg(36#)

This workout was done at the Northeast Qualifier and a 15 min cap was put on it. For this qualifier no cap was required. In the back of my mind I was hoping to finish under 15min.

I finished in 15:35. Every rep counted.

The unfortunate thing about this day was that I had to work at the gym. I had to make sure that I kept my food dialed in and tried to stay hands off with my students so that I would fully recover.

WOD#2:

3 rounds for time:
10 Deadlifts @ 185#
50 Double Unders.

This was definitely the easiest one of the day, despite the fact that I'm not very good at double unders. 6:06!

WOD#3
"Jackie"
Row 1K
5o Thrusters w/ 45#
30 Pullups(chin over the bar)

Done in 10:23.

I finished with a total time of 31:54.
