Balance

Tonight I worked on balance when being pulled wide and getting back and ready to take a middle shot, also on a little strategy, breaking up this sequence with a lob.  I feel like I get pulled off and become very defensive and then forget all about trying to take back any offensive shots.  It's frustrating.  Sunday I played really well as far as returning shots but not coming through with the winners, which makes for too many lost games. Practice went well and Kolbe definitely identified some footwork and ready mistakes I was (still am) making.

Crossfit this morning was:

AMRAP 2 Deadlifts

AMRAP 19 

4 Strict Pull Ups

11 Box Jumps

13 Hand Release Push Ups

23 Cal Bike

AMRAP 2

Deadlifts

I'm not sure what all my totals were but altogether I got 165 reps, I did jumping pull ups and was really happy with them in each round.  The hand release pushups also went better than I expected,

 

Scorpions

 Yesterday's pickleball drilling went way better than Wednesdays.  Last night we went to see the Scorpions play which was really fun, it was also nice to see the pros up close make those same mistakes I make, maybe a whole lot less often though!

Crossfit this morning was deadlifts and burpee box jump overs, start with 3 each, add three each round, I finished 5 rounds + 6.

One Year

I've got one year to get ready for a pickleball event Craig scheduled for us. Off to a not great start drilling this morning despite having a cute new skirt. 

Front Squat Day

 20 Minutes to a heavy set of 3

I did 79.5 for 3 and got 2 in @80.5, failed the 3rd. I just checked and that was exactly the same as I did in April for a heavy set of 3....oh well.

Power Snatches and Rope Climbs

 Very light power snatches, a few good complete rope climbs.

Who asks for plyo boxes for their birthday?!! I'm pretty excited about them, gotta get confident on that 20" and then on the 24"

Happy 4th

 Cleaned 67

Deadlifted 155

Partner Ned

 Partnered up with Margie today for Hero Ned

7 Rounds

11 BW Backsquats (the BW may have been scaled)

800M Row

Each athlete does all the back squats and split the row, that was my saving grace.

Time: 31:32
