Battle in the Bluffs Competition

3-day competition

Friday December 5th, 2014 (Day 1)
---------------------------------------------
Event #1--> 3 attempts (1 every 2:00) to establish 1-rep bear complex
(clean + front squat (regardless of squat clean or power) + jerk + back squat + jerk)

Numbers
1) 315, 325, 335 (1st place)

Notes
1) was not quite sure what weights to choose for this. worked up to 305# for a clean + jerk + back jerk in the warm up area, so started with 315#. all lifts felt solid and strong. happy with this.

Notes
2) this was a grip burner. went small(ish) sets on the chest to bars and mostly singles on the cleans. had a great push working next to Phil. 
3) tough workout. first set of double unders and thrusters unbroken. then 40/30/30 for 2nd set of du's (legs were feeling a bit toasty) then 7/4/4/3/3 for thrusters. tried to stay unbroken for last set of double unders but messed up @ 63 then finished it out. Phil took 1st on the workout. 
4) tough workout. may have been able to get back on the last set of bar muscle ups quicker. did not want to fail a rep and maybe was too cautious. Bobby took 1st and Phil 2nd.

40x burpee box jump overs 30"

Event #6a and #6b

6a) 1:42 (1st place)
6b) 4:43 (1st place) 
Overall) 10 points in 7 events (1st place)

Notes
5) this was a mental workout. everything was possible to do unbroken @ a solid pace, but only if the focus was there mentally. rowed between a 1:44 and 1:48 for the 1250m, then went right to the wall balls for 75 unbroken, then moved consistently through the 40 burpee bo's. mental battle through the 40 reps to finish. 
6a) went 20 unbroken to establish a lead over the field, then went 10 singles to finish out the first 30. 
6b) went all singles for this second portion. legs were burning and it was a good mental and physical test. great way to finish out the competition.
