Mehhhhh. Today was not the best.

Snatch balances are definitely better than the last time I did them, I was able to work up to 135 without any fails. The last rep was a bit on my toes but it wasn't too bad.

Pendlay rows were fine.

I feel like the for time piece should have been a lot faster. First handstand walk was unbroken. The hang squat snatches took way longer than necessary. I broke them up 3/2/2/2/2/1/1/1/1. I'm not sure if I should have gone to singles sooner? Hang snatches are such a hassle, you have to pick the bar up and stand all the way up, then slightly bend the knees, THEN snatch it. I was happy with how good these felt in nanos, I was able to drop right into the squat every time. Second handstand walk wasn't as good, broke around 30'. The tire flip was kind of a disaster, in fact two minutes of this workout were probably spent figuring out which tire I was supposed to use. I went out back and saw the HUGE tire with the plants growing out of it, so I went to the next biggest tire which is what was programmed. I tried lifting it and barely got it off the ground. So then I was like, "Wait, is this the one I'm supposed to use? This seems impossible". So I went and checked the other three tires, and flipped the third biggest one five times. It was way too easy so I went back to the second biggest tire and still couldn't lift it, so I went back to the smaller tire and flipped it five more times. After the workout was over, Stephen told me I was in fact supposed to flip the second biggest tire. I told him I wasn't able to lift it and he said I probably could with practice. Efffff. FAIL. 

Sled drag was just terrible. I felt like garbage the whole way, my legs were just so dead. I was actually getting concerned with how tired my legs were. Is this normal? Should I still be feeling this drained? I didn't feel this bad after the first two competitions and it's only my legs that are really fatigued. I just want to go back to feeling 100% again.
