World War Fit - Austin
 *scaled division*

WOD #1

11 minute timecap
21 snatches @ 95#
42 ABMAT sit ups
3 shuttle sprints
15 snatches @ 95#
30 sit ups
2 shuttle sprints
9 snatches @ 95#
18 sit ups
Sprint to the finish line

Result - 6:33 (2nd in this, 2nd overall)

Plan was to do unbroken muscle snatches, recover on the sit ups and first 2 shuttle runs, and blast the last run. This plan worked in my favor. I won my heat by passing a dude on the last sprint. I blew everyone away on the snatches, but one dude caught me on the sit ups and got a good lead on me, however, I had the upper hand with the snatches. I would smoke him on those. Low back felt pretty tight after this.

WOD #2

Thruster Ladder - 1 min @ each - if weight can't be completed, do AMRAP burpees

Result: 115 / 135 / 155 / 175 / 195 / 215 x 7 plus 1 burpee for good measure

I aggravated my back something terrible on the 195# thruster. It really, really hurt. I think the issue was that my core went loose in the bottom and my lumbar tucked under causing a slight compression on the bulging disc. Fucking wonderful.

1st place in this event, 1st place overall

WOD #3

9 minute timecap
10 pullups
30 wallball
10 pullups
30 box jump
10 pullups
30 front squats @ 115#
10 pullups
30 shoulder to overhead @ 115#
10 pullups

Result: DNF (25 front squats)

I wish I could get this one again. I'm so frustrated with my back. I had to stop 6 minutes in because my back was in so much pain. Each rep of front squats killed me. This was really disappointing. I ended this WOD 18th and was seeded 3rd overall going into the final. Unfortunately, I was forced to withdraw by my wife and it probably would have stupid to try to continue. I'm going to the chiropractor a couple of times this week. Hopefully, that will help me get back.
