A) 2 RFT: 100 double unders/ 50 STO #95/25 T2B
Nice lower leg thing to deal with on top of touchy-to-begin-with ankles.  Have been working assiduously on double unders.  + third wod in 5 days with jumping and or jump roping.  That's my lead-in to admitting I have not been taking care of calf business.  Heel cord finally called BS, oh about 10 double unders in to this wod, that I had real designs on attacking.  Came down on what I thought must have been a railroad spike in my heel.  Nope, just a junky Achilles (the great Warrior and I, much in common) and short, ignored gastrocs.    First set of 100 du's took, oh, NINE MINUTES of agony when only the day before I ripped off 100 in about 2min.  Decided to just plow through and take what I got, b/c I deserved it for being so dumb.  Stretch your bidness, folks.  I got a handle on it, now, but still a little touchy and in need of remediation.  33:59.  I think this wod would take Jabba the Hut 25.



B) 2-2-2-2-2-2-2  hang squat clean
Good thing there is no jumping involved in olympic lifting.  My shins couldn't really take it.  Warmed up a ton, started doing doubles until I wasn't sure if i could get two every time.  That was 135.  Five of them.  Then one at 140.  Then a make and a miss at 145.  Caught on vid below by the boy.  I post to show new app called Coach's Eye.  Kinda nifty.  Also so you can hear the camera guy rooting the old man on, which I didn't until watching it later.  I was so touched and bummed I couldn't him the second.   But I think I had the weight right.  I hope to put one up with some analysis soon.  Taking requests.  VID



C) "Jackie" 1000m Row/50 thrusters #45/30 pull ups
Every time I've done Jackie, I've scalded myself on the row and then limped in.  It struck me today that maybe that's not the best strategy.  I mean you can row a 3:40 1k, and then be all but blind and have to pick up the barbell, or you can keep it spicy but still  have something left to get on with things, like thrusters and pull ups. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the nose. Rowed a 3:55, amazingly still had 50 thrusters and 30 pull ups left.  Didn't put the bar down, but sure wanted to.  Pull ups 10-10-5-5.  Beat Dawn off the rower then she blew by me thrustering.  Caught her on the pull ups and then gave up the ghost.  I really thought she was gonna rest one more time.  Extra bad news: she used rx'd weight when she could have gone women's barbell.  Had me by 10 seconds easy. 9:18
