Elizabeth

Sunday, October 5;

I knew going into today's workout it would be a challenge. I knew the 85lb cleans would be tough, but also the ring dips would be terrible. I haven't done much full body weight on the rings, so I knew doing nearly 50 of them would be tough for me. I didn't quite realize how tough. The first 21 hang power cleans weren't too terrible. Then I got to the ring dips and at most I could get 2 at a time and a struggled 2.

It took me forever to get throu2gh the first dips. When it takes me that long to fight through movements, it also gives my mind time to start thinking those negative thoughts. The "I can't, I shouldn't, I won't" get into my head and start eating away at me.

I can usually shake through that stuff, but it's tough when your muscle strength is going pretty quickly, and your mental strength is eating away on the opposite end at the same time. When both things (mental and physical strength) are gone, then there's not much you can do. I doubt I'll get through this workout for a long time, but Elizabeth and I will meet again.
