Fight Gone Bad Results

First, thanks to all my donors, who donated 276.02 (erm Johnny Bravo...cute donation!)
The fundraiser in total gathered 94 thousand dollars for Prostate Cancer Research. The funds will be matched by an corporation (name escapes me at the moment.)

Fight Gone Bad (Class C - Ladies STD weight)
55# SDLHP
55# Push Press
14# Wall ball
20" box Step ups
Row

234

I was going to do a pack workout which in this case would have been group C with the men's weight? I told Jeff, I'll do pack. He says Good. I say but that (55#) is the big dawg weight for women! He looks at it and looks back and smiles. You're right. Good. You can do it.

First rule of fight gone bad: DO NOT stop until the rest period or you will regret it when the counting is done.
Second Rule of fight gone bad:You can throw up when you're done.
Third Rule of Fight Gone Bad: If your coach says you can do one more rep...DO IT!
Fourth Rule of FGB: If you are not fetal between rounds and at the end, you didn't work hard enough.


Apparently, this always happens: your mouth goes dry. Between round 2 and round three, Karen gave me a drink of her water. As soon as I took the drink, I knew it was a mistake. It came right back out - while I gagged on it. I was so messed up I could not swallow. After that I was constantly on the verge of throwing up. "You can throw up when you're done, Laura!" That's what Karen said to get me back on the rower for round 3.

Comparison:

9/30 Rows 17-10-14 +16
5/26 Rows 10- 7- 8

9/30 Push Press 20-12-11 -33 (55#)
5/26 Push Press 30-26-20 (45#)

9/30 Box Jumps 20-20-18 + 6
5/26 Box Jumps 18-19-16

9/30 Wall Ball 17-18-15 + 5
5/26 Wall Ball 15-15-15

9/30 SDlHP 15-12-15 - 3 (55#)
5/26 SDlHP 17-15-13 (45#)

Net difference -10 points.
