Today was really fun, I'm excited for the rest of the regionals events this weekend. 

I was REALLY happy with my hang squat snatch. I wasn't sure how this would go since I haven't really done any heavy hang snatches since before the open. I was planning on starting at 135 but then Stephen asked me if I was going to grow some balls today and start at 145, so that's what I did. It was surprisingly easy and he told me to go to 155. It was even easier! Yay! It felt great. I selfishly asked him if I could just throw on 160 and go for the PR but he said no. Hehe. I really think next time I do this I could PR for sure. 

Handstand walk was good, not my best. I would like to try this at a track or something, somewhere that's really long so I can really see how far I can go without worrying about bumping into the rig/other people. 

I was disappointed in my performance on the muscle up/clean and jerk workout. At first I was going to break up the muscle ups 6/5/4 but then Stephen told me to do 5 sets of 3 with minimal rest between sets. The first 2-3 sets were pretty quick but there was way too much rest between the last two sets. Also, I bitched out on the clean and jerks. I did all singles and I should have done a few sets touch and go. Merrrrr. I was breathing hard and my grip was tired from the muscle ups so I thought it would be faster to do quick singles instead of doing sets of TNG and resting too much between sets. I definitely learned my lesson and will do better next time. It was fun getting to do this one team-style with Austin and Brandie! 

As a bonus, here's a video I accidentally took of me whining after Stephen told me I had to do my hang snatch in two attempts instead of three.
