PR

 PR'd my deadlift today at 157, I tried to do 159.5 and failed.  Backsquats today also, just not feeling like pushing them.

Round Robin

Last week's round robin was very frustrating I felt like I played well and ended up DFL.  Yeah, stats don't lie so that's how I played. This week was a bit of redemption, no a lot of redemption, I moved up to 5th--I'll take it!

Did an upper body workout at home, I was hoping to pr my bench, nope not happening today but I did get three good consecutive pull ups.  Checking out pulley systems to add to my garage gym.

Pickled!

 No not us!  We pickled them! The thing is, this is not a gloat because the same people could easily turn the tables on us, but just for this morning I gotta put it in writing because it's my first. Good morning of pickleball, one game went 14-12 and to be honest I can't remember if we won or lost it, the rallies were so good.

 I did a very definitive senior citizen thing yesterday, I bought Skechers pickleball shoes, I have an ongoing saga of problematic shoe issues, whether it's the lack of selection in my size, the cut around my ankles, the toe box etc. They had a buy 1 get one 1/2 off so of course that means I had to buy two pairs. What can I say, we had a good morning with me wearing my new shoes! Just don't tell Brent---

Pickleball, Pickleball, Crossfit

Played pickleball last night, pretty evenly matched, drilled this morning and pr'd my power cleans at Crossfit, I cleaned 72, not sure how I did that and it is not currently repeatable, I had to drop weight to finish.

Handstand Walk, Knees to Elbows, KB Swings

I forgot how heavy my kettlebell was but I used the heaviest one I've ever used. Pickleball drills before CrossFit.

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"

Just Keep Hitting

 I didn't do today's hero WOD and instead went to practice some of the things from my pickleball lesson last night, mostly thirds.  It was a little windy but still a good practice.

Today the Sheriffs were allowing cabin owners into the canyon to assess the damage, there was a three hour window you had to get in and out.  Brian and Sarah went down to check it out, the fire burned the bottom of the deck posts, replacing the deck was on our list so not too sad about that, the old outhouse that Brian had taken down the week before the fire is now complete ash, guess that won't have to be hauled away.  There was one cabin with a total loss but from what Bri reported everything else was fairly minor.  It still made me very emotional to see the devastation of the area, and to think firefighters put their lives in danger to protect our structures which mean nothing compared to their lives.

Diagnostic

 This morning I had a test that I thought I would have plenty of time to get to Crossfit after, but my Dr ordered a diagnostic test which means it was read on the spot and I had to wait for the results.  I appreciate her doing that so I didn't have to stress waiting for the results.  Test was fine, I came home and did my workout at home. Upper body done.
