OLD FISHY COUNTING COUPLET

This is the workout that I did at the Edmonton challenge where I placed 4th. Still to this day I thought my counter counted wrong and I think so did she. Oh well, now I know :-)
My clients and I did the same workout today:

As many Rounds in 20min of:
10 Chest to Floor Push-ups
10 Power Cleans 95#

My score today: 19 rounds + 10 reps

Old Edmonton Challenge score = 11 rounds + 12 reps....I knew something was fishy :-) None the less a friggen great workout and mental push at the end.

I think I can get over 20 rounds fresh. Back is still hurting from The Spartan 300 workout.

PS: On a cool note, my clients friggen rocked this out today! Way to go guys and gals, very impressive!

OPT Champions Series #2

Felt good to compete again. I had only done one CF workout up to this event in the past month and a half. Yes this was my plan as I was programming myself to improve week spots in power, strength and flexibility.
I found that for the most part my training paid off. The second workout is still on my mind because when I finished I said to myself "fu$@ I could of done that way faster!". A learning lesson for sure as I was practicing the snatch series skills for the past month ( catching the squat snatch is a weakness of mine, but in this wod I nailed them.....faster next time ACTION & be confident in your skills!).
Always learning is key for your future competition, fitness and life adventures!
Had a great time in Calgary hanging out with my fellow Big Dawgs; they were all asking where I had been, why I have not been posting and to get my ass in gear because my face is on the Big Dawg poster for F#%K sakes....love those guys!.
Got to hang out with my Coach OPT for a bit and talk shop, love that!
