awesome time

I did a Wod at crossfit invictus today. It was very cool. We started with a dynamic warm up with movement drills and the burgner warm up, Then some heavy lifting with 5-5-5 push jerk. I got a PR of 165, even though my lower end still wasn't deep in the catch. Then, a new movement: the cluster. A full squat clean, then a thruster from the full depth to lockout overhead.

12 clusters (135)
24 pull ups
9 clusters
18 pull ups
6 thrusters
12 pull ups
7:48 was my time. I was one of only 2-3 guys to do it with Rx weight and there were probably 20 people there. I also got it done in about 90 seconds faster than the others. I felt really good about my time, keeping the bar gazing to a minimum. I won't know how any others did because they don't post their whiteboard, but it was a good time for me.

Now I have a problem deciding where to go tomorrow. I loved Invictus, but it will take a bit more work to get there and a ferry fee. Coronado is more convenient and cheaper, but not the same cool experience. maybe I'll just look into the Wod in the am and decide.
