Snatches, Jerks & Rowing Intervals

I'm working in Peterborough this week so popped over to HPT CrossFit Peterborough for this session. Affiliation wise it's a relatively young box the set up is very professional with great use of limited space, all the vital pieces of equipment plus a variety of other tool of torture. Looking forward paying them another visit for my Thursday session, i may even have a play about with the prowlers!!

Muscle snatch. power snatch. squat snatch, 1.1.1 x8 sets, 1 min rest - build until the muscle snatch gets tough
- 55kg, these all felt great think i could have pushed it to 60kg.
+
Split jerk, 2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1, 1 min rest - 2's @60kg, 1's @80kg
- Had to clean the barbell up each set as the two racks were in use. Widened my stance for the dip and drive and it made them feel a million times better than last week.
+
12x500m row @2k pace, 2 minutes rest between sets - try to hold same pace as last week
- 1:45-1:46/500m target pace. Split times (1:45.2, 1:45.7, 1:45.5, 1:45.5, 1:46.0, 1:45.1, 1:45.5, 1:45.3, 1:45.2, 1:45.8, 1:45.2, 1:44.9) These were mentally a lot stronger than the previous weeks. I found that if i take 5 really hard strokes to start with then 15 easier strokes i'm at 300m, then its a case of counting 10 strokes three times and i'm done. The 1:46.0 was just me getting distracted and day dreaming.
