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.
