Crossfit Open 16.3

It's Friday, it's Stupid O'clock, and it's..... Cr- no, not Crackerjack, but round 3 of the Crossfit Open. And what fresh new hell do they have in store for us this morning?

Hmmm, power snatches and muscles up, as many reps as possible in 7 minutes. Looks relatively easy at first glance, but I fear that may be deceptive. I have a feeling that by about a minute in, lower back and shoulders are going to be hating this. Still, it's better by far than last week's.

Victory is mine!!!

completed 7 full rounds in 6'59"!

It took 25 minutes to be able to open and close my hands enough to grip steering wheel to drive home and I think my shouders are ruined for the weekend but I am chuffed to bits with that result. That should offset my disastrous showing last week somewhat and claw me back some lost places on the leaderboard.

And now, protein and codeine...
