Another excellent day of team training! I actually really enjoy these events. The run workout went well, although I know it will be a different story when we're on those treadmills. I felt like I was running pretty fast but I could probably kick it up even more the last 200 meters or so. I forget exactly how I broke up the wall balls but I know I broke three times and did 24 to start. Next time we do this, I want try and go unbroken. I had enough time to switch the female/male wall balls and Mark came in shortly after. I just want to make sure I finish the wall balls so Mark isn't waiting on me, I know it won't be a problem but I think if I dig deep I can just do the wall balls unbroken. I know everything is going to feel different after running on that treadmill. Merrrrrr. 

I was really happy with how the snatch event went. As we were warming up, I was feeling pretty stiff. I failed a snatch at 115 and tried not to freak out. They got easier as the weight got heavier, but it still made me nervous. I basically have one attempt and I didn't want to fail. When it was my turn, I hit 145 easily. Stephen said he might have me try for 155 so I'm going to practice that this week. The handstand walk was much faster than last week, I went 50 feet unbroken, had a very quick turnaround, then did the second 50 feet unbroken. The last 10 feet were pretty tough but I was able to make it. I think when we're at regionals and we're doing the handstand walk on the straightaway it will be much easier to go a farther distance, having to turn around at 50 feet throws off the momentum. Very happy with our performance on these events today!
