Unit and I were talking between heats on Saturday and I said this is the first time I honestly felt like an athlete at one of these events and not just a participant. I have each and every one of you including my wife and family to thank for that. For those of you that haven't been there or can't relate to that statement, give it time, you will.<br /><br />Having Unit around this weekend made this an unforgettable experience. He is calm warrior with a ferocious spirit when it's go time. Hopefully Unit will give us his reflection of this weekend so we can all hopefully take a little something from it. <br /><br />As far as my thoughts on this weekend, I'll give you a quick recap of what was going through my mind this past week. I didn't get much sleep 2 days prior because the mind decided it wanted to get a head start on the WOD's at 3:30am every morning for some reason.<br /><br />WOD#1 Run: It was staggered starts on the run which I was happy about. 1 person started the run on each minute. I train by myself 99% of the time so I felt that was an advantage for me and a disadvantage for everyone else. I wore my GPS watch and looked down at the first 400m beep and saw I was at a 4:30-4:45ish pace. Right there I backed way down to a 5:50ish pace as we started the uphill climb. Midway up the hill at the 800m beep the watch showed a 6:30 mile pace and that shook me out of my daze. From there the top of the hill was in sight and it was all about not quitting to the top and then striding down the last 200m downhill stretch. I don't know how I pulled off a 4:38 that one goes out to DJ. You will get your run on this year!<br /><br />WOD2 C&J: Back was good until the 255# PR. I made 3 attempts to jerk the 265# after that. All I had to do was dip under the bar and I would have had it but the body resisted it.<br /><br />WOD3 Row: Nasty bugger after WOD's 1/2. My goal for this was just to beat my 10:25ish time from last weekend. I was a little disappointed I didn't get that last round of OHS unbroken but legs were on fire and ended up having to do an extra. DU's almost went south at the start of round 3 but I somehow pulled it back together. Came so close to beating 10 minutes.<br /><br />WOD4 F@$KME: This one had me worried all day saturday and just up till 5 minutes before my heat. Shoulder and lats were sore. I was warming up was pulling some snatches before heading out and thought bloody hell 145# is freaking heavy. That didn't help the cause. Went to tape up and as I was standing around I noticed we were pulling 165# snatches. OMG, instant relief and big mental boost! The 45# ball slams were no joke and this WOD had a nasty twist in the end that caught both unit and I off guard. You'll see it on my face on the first pull of the last set of snatches. Units face looked no different, unfortunately, I didn't get his heat on tape. <br /><br />Having seen and talked with many of the athletes at this event, everyone's focus right now is on strength. My thoughts on this for 2011 is to improve strength and diversity, roll that into a ball of work capacity, sprinkle some good technique emphasis and you've got a pie that everyone wants. <br /><br />I've got a video of the WOD's, I'll let them speak for themselves. I'll try and get them posted this evening.Brent Maierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402536879651646709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-91110090910856782742010-05-03T14:41:36.022-06:002010-05-03T14:41:36.022-06:00Bania,

Or anyone for that matter, feel free to pick at my form and give me some pointers. I'm trying to work on improving my efficiency and am having a tough time with it.
