Woah!

I don't remember all the specifics, but here is the break down from my first gym competition.

WoD#1
3 rounds
25 hang power snatch at 105 lbs
15 wallball
I finished 3rd as the wallball screwed me AGAIN. Man i need to work on that. It took me 9:??

WoD#2
1RM of weighted pullups (3 attempts allowed)
I got first with 105 pounds. Second place was 77.5 pounds. I only did 2 attempts. I probably could have gotten more weight, but it wasn't necessary to do a 3rd attempt and use up more grip strength

WoD#3
1.5 mile run
I finished 5th with a time in the mid 9 minutes. I may have gotten a 4th place if I pushed a little more, but it wasn't a sure thing and I knew I had a big deadlift wod coming up. There are some fast guys in this group and I just couldn't keep up the pace and I had no sprint left at the end.

WoD#4
6 rounds
15 deadlifts at 135
25 air squats
I got second place by 3 seconds. I smoked this WoD in the mid 6 minutes mark. I was flying and maybe getting a little short of full hip extension, but I was pushing the limit of time and space. A lot like khalipa's finish in the 2008 games, another guy got first out of nowhere. He was in 6th or 7th place, but killed this WoD and beat me by just a hair.

The scoring was like the 2009 games with your place/finish in each of the WoDs adding up to a final score. I got 1+2+3+5=11 and tied with another guy, Brian. The tiebreaker for just the two of us was

WoD#5
2 rounds
10 burpees
2 legless rope climbs.
At this time my legs were toast and my grip was nil. When It started, i was going fast on the burpees, but realized when I finished that Brian was already on the rope, Damn. I got the first legless climb with a little struggle. On the second, I heard Peter say "that doesn't count!" I paused and lost my mojo. Apparently he wasn't talking to me, but the damage was done. I finished with leg assist climbs and was only able to get up to 13 feet on the last before i slid down. Unfortunately, That resulted in a major rope burn on my hand and ankle. Brian finished as Rx and smoked the WoD. He definitely won the rubber chicken fair and square. If I had hit mroe consecutive wallballs on WoD 1, If I had finished the last wod faster than the other guy who got first, or if I had beat just one more guy on the run, I would have had it, but I didn't do any of those things, so i got second. I have no regrets and know I left it all on the field, I just didn't have enough to win it all.

That was fun. I nearly had it, but I know I got a great workout and had fun pushing myself with some others. Next time the chicken is mine.
