Last saturday was the life as RX competition. The 3 events were as follows:
Event 1: With a 6 minute timer running complete a 400m run w/90lb sandbag then row for calories. Score is # of calories rowed.
Event 2: 8 Minute AMRAP
10 Fat Bar Deadlifts 225lbs
20 GHD Sit ups (Pictured)
40 Double Unders
Event 3: 5 Minute AMRAP
14 30" Box jumps
10 KettleBell Snatches 55lbs
I had a rough start on workout 1, it was the second time in my life ever carrying a sandbag and the first time was a 35lb sandbag. I completed the run in 1:40 but held the sandbag on 1 shoulder and had it slip down for the last 100m...so bear hugged it the last 100m. This gassed me for the row and I ended up rowing 69 calories which put me in the middle of the pack after workout 1. I came back to finish in the top 5 in workout 2 with 4 rounds + 10 Deads + 6 sit ups (296 reps). Then again finished top 5 in Workout 3 with 4 rounds + 14 box jumps + 5 KB snatches (115 reps). So my total score was 69 + 296 + 115 = 480 points. I finished 12th but 11th had 483 points, 10th had 484 points, and 8-6 had 485-490 points...in other words an extremely close finish. If I could have pushed harder on wod 1 (which i most certainly could have) I could have been up in the top 5...but live and learn! Lots of heavy hitters at this competition, 20+ from regionals, 3+ from the games...all in all just beasts from all around the U.S.
