South Central Regional Qualifier Event 4

For time:

10 Muscle-ups
15 Handstand push-ups
155 pound Squat clean, 20 reps
Run 550 meter**

As Rx'd: 8:10.09


**Note: The little grey post before the last telephone pole on Laird is approximately 550m from the edge of the green turf coming out of the weight room.

PR'd on consecutive MUs with 7. I got a little greedy and went for 8 and about ate it. The left ring swung out and behind me. I'm thankful that I did not rip my shoulder out of socket. In hindsight I think I should have stopped and shook it out after 5 and then finished with 5. I got the 8th and 9th MUs consecutively, missed the 10th and had to regroup. Lost some time there pacing and shaking the arms out.

HSPUs were broken 11-4. Not sure why I did that. I had it in the tank to crank out all 15...guess I was looking ahead too much to the Squat Cleans. I knew they would be the toughest part of the WOD. They weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I felt pretty strong and solid on them. I did break them up 5-5-5-5 tryng to save my lungs and legs for the 550m run.

The first half of the run was more of a shuffle until my legs and hips finally opened up. The second half was much better. I actually looked and felt like I was running. I should have pushed it harder on the first half...like always...

In hindsight, I think I may have gamed this one a little too much in the middle...and maybe not enough in the beginning with the MUs. Oh well...live and learn...

$-out: Double Under Practice. Hit a new PR for consecutive DUs (44). Previous best was 38. Hoping to get 50 unbroken next time.
