Day 2

Blog

The 2nd day of competition started off with a short DB snatch WOD. I knew that this workout would favor my strengths so I came out of the gate with fire in my eyes.

I made it through each round with unbroken snatches with 1 "no rep"
for not controlling the DB at the top of the rep. The workout came down to the wire with me and T-Rank neck and neck until he pulled away by a few reps in the last round. That kid is strong! It turns out that he is currently 1st place IN THE WORLD for that workout so I do not mind coming in second.

The 2nd workout of the day was the brutal squat, pullup, and push press WOD. It was easy to see the nervousness of the competitors even several hours before the workout began. I felt good through the first 2/3 of the workout and was on a great pace until I made it to the third round of pullups. I hit the wall and had to dig deep for that one. I took 2nd in the workout with Daniel Hersey finishing 1st.

The two 2nd place finished pull me up to 2nd overall with 25 points. Daniel Hersey is in a commanding lead with with 13 points. At this point it is his competition to lose. I can only make sure I am in position in case he drops the ball.

I am having a blast meeting and hanging out with all the competitors. The CF Sentinel Crew has adopted me and has been looking out for me during the competition. They took me out for Korean BBQ last night and we are headed to a Brazilian steakhouse as I am typing this up.
