Over the weekend I went to NY to compete in a competition, Ill start off by saying lasts weeks training went pretty well so I went into the weekend feeling pretty good.
Last Tuesday I did Longcycle 2x32 4,5,4,5,4,5,4,5,4,5, for a total of 45 reps which was a PR by 5 reps and felt pretty good.
So I took the rest of the week off to prepare for Saturday. The competition was held at a crossfit gym in NY and the gym was really nice, a lot of room to move around and for people to watch. The temperature was perfect. I was the last flight of the day along with my competitor Marty Ferral. I was pretty nervous before the set but once I got the bells moving I felt great. My pace was 4,5,4,5 and the whole set I felt great and then I hit the 9th minute and I find out I'm pretty close to Marty and everyone is yelling and pushing me and I am trying my best to keep moving the bells but lets face it when your that deep into a set its tough. I was getting sloppy but I kept pushing and trying to get the reps and some how I came up a rep short. I just didn't have anymore left in me, I think I tried to squeeze to much into the last minute and Marty beat be by one rep. This definitely sucked but I set another PR of 48 reps in Longcycle 2x32. I have to be happy about that but it always sucks to lose. Its back to training and see how much father I can take Longcycle.
thanks Scott
