Of prey and predators

Today was the day. I shifted my weight and was called mid-bluff and tried to graciously set my cards down and walk away, but the cantankerous element form that part of the saloon was loathe to give me room enough to bow out unnoticed. As all deputized men do when humbled by another student of the code, I bowed. The "Workout of the Day" brought to you by Crossfit Philly saw an output of a crummy 370 reps before I waved the white skivvy drawers in a moment of personal weakness. Those final 30 (out of a goal of 100 reps) kettlebell swings were not within my reach. And I chose to place the swings at the end of the session. "Swings will be a dream to finish up with!" I said, feeling just as lame when I bailed out as I sounded when I spout out such horse pucky. You got me. You really got me now.

100 Snatches, 100 front squats, 100 cleans, 100 jerks, 100 swings.

That is what it said, courtesy of Mike Stehle, on the Party line. I opted to merge the C with the J and mine went like this:

24KG
100 Snatches S&M set* in 4:40, rest 1:30
100 Front Squats [4 sets of 25] rest 1:00 between, total time=13:50
100 Clean and Jerks x 15L 15R 15L 15R rest 1:00 10L 10R 10L 10R rest 1:40, total time 25:25
70/100 Swings x 30 rest :45 x 30 rest LONG, knew my SI joint was registering pain. It was a warning I had to follow. I busted another 5 reps and that was it. I surrendered on video. My body bowed to a Crossfit workout today. Time at termination 31:18.

*The Steve Maxwell 100 snatch set is 20l, 20r, 15l, 15r, 10l, 10r, 5l, 5r in one horrifically memorable set. Your bell does not rerenter the ground's atmosphere until you have three digits up, a pair of goose eggs makes it real. Many hard asses can unload these in less than 4:00. Today I slid into overdrive after my S&M set, thank you.
