I was extremely nervous going into this first open workout considering I had not trained in a week due to having bad food poisoning. I went into CSC on Thursday but did light olympic stuff and that was it. I was very worried that I would be out of shape and fatigue very quickly on this WOD because I had not been working out at all. Getting sick before the open was literally my worst nightmare, and I knew I was going to have to get over it and just do the workout. I told myself to just keep fucking moving if it's the last thing I do, and that's what I did. The burpees were basically nonstop the whole time, which was one of my main goals. I broke up the 75# snatches into sets of 5 at a time and probably took too much rest in between each set, but overall I was really pleased with my pacing and continuous movement on this workout. By the time I got to the 100# snatches, I was so fucking tired I had no clue if I was going to be able to get it up, but I was able to get that bitch up 7 times. The first snatch at 100# flew up and I think I surprised myself, and the rest of them felt good too. I am so happy with how this went, because before the workout started I was nervous that I wouldn't even be able to snatch the 100# due to being sick and not training for a week. But I did it! And I am NOT doing it again haha. It was also really cool having Stephen, Heather, Glenn, Mike and my dad cheering me on through the whole workout, it really made a difference. Overall it was a great first workout and I'm excited to see what else the open has in store.....I hope next week brings some muscle ups!!!
