Time goes by

So it's Easter this weekend - wow.  That means it is my birthday next week sometime gee whizz.
The CrossFit Open is still going - we have two more open work outs to complete, this week and one more next week.  Then it's back to normal training.
What has the open highlighted for me this year, well I need to learn more about mobility for my hamstrings and lower back (tight lower back held me down for the 13.2 WOD)
I need to vastly improve my Wall Ball - those things are deadly and trying to do 150 of them is torture, it surely doesn't help that the target is a line 10 feet off the ground and my reach is barely over 6 feet.
Box Jump efficiency is also key - competition standard.
Must improve burpee - these things are the pudding of fitness
Must improve running - I hate running, I'm more of a short sprint kinda guy - 50-100m
Double Unders - must become more efficient in this discipline, I'm getting better.
My pull ups have improved dramatically over the past 12 months as my hanging strength and pull up technique has increased. I can happily do 15 pull ups.

CrossFit Games

We are now into week two of the CrossFit Games open.
The workouts are simple yet punishing.
What will they have for us next week?
So far we have done burpees with snatches, that was 17 minutes of punish
40 burpees with 6 inch jump
30 snatches at 30kg
30 burpees
30 snatches at 61kg
20 burpees
30 snatches at 75kg
10 burpees
then max snatches

I only got 9 snatches into the 61kg.

Week two was 10 minutes of:
5 shoulder to overhead @51kg
10 deadlift @51kg
15 24inch box jump

I managed 5 rounds and 4 reps of shoulder to overhead

good times had by all.
