Open 13.1.

The house has been ravaged by a nasty cold/sinus thing, only one of us remains standing. I'll probably take the next couple days off, but I felt pretty good yesterday afternoon though, so went ahead and took on 13.1, since we'll be traveling this weekend.

I really enjoyed the announcement, it was pretty sweet to see a couple of the "sports" top guys go at it immediately. And I'm very excited to live just a few minutes from the Midwest Regional, we are stacked! Bailey, Froning, Hendren, Panchick on the men's side, and Smith and a semi-retired Foucher, who won't be competing, unfortunately, on the women's side, which will hopefully give Kinney a chance to get back to the Games.

mywrite: 100 reps. Finished those with about 6:45 remaining.
I've got a bum right shoulder, and I never do snatches. So I knew going in I'd be hampered, but decided to at least attempt 75# with a narrow grip (essentially the same grip as a press grip, which doesn't bother my shoulder). It worked great at 75#, and I plowed through the first 100 pretty well. I rested about 2 minutes, and then took 4 or 5 attempts at 135# narrow grip, but couldn't get it above my forehead. At that weight and time, this was a fun WOD. It was admittedly probably not as fun at 135#s.
