Now do not pay much attention to the time as that is not what is important for this WOD. What is important is I finished it as Rxd. The first time I did this I used 95# and performed a very ugly power clean, that was on 12/18/08 and was one of my first attempts at Cleans. Since that time I have encountered "Elizabeth" 2 more times. The second using 115# and having to stop half way through due to hurting my back. The third time I used the Rx weight of 135 and again had to stop halfway through due to hurting my knee. This time I was bound and determined to finish it as Rx. The first 5-7 Cleans were great, however, after that I needed to take frequent breaks between cleans. I used alot of energy setting the weight back down as I do not have bumpers. Also I must remember that I weigh only 147 and I just completed 45-135# cleans. For me that is outstanding, however, there are people like Speal who do not have much problem with that. (They have also had more practice and own their own box). I am very pleased with my performance with "Elizabeth" and now have a true number to compare to next time around. Lets hope I can keep the good vibes going and hit a PR on my 5K run tomorrow. Goal sub 23min
