Thursday October 24

Today was only pre-event training.  I did some mid day and again in the evening. I hate tapering - the decrease in training kills me.  I am also getting sick - bad timing.

Friday October 25

Some very light training as I leave at 5am for CFNE.  I also spent 2 1/2hours watching an evening football game and froze my ass off.  Needless to say it didn't help my cold.

Saturday October 26: Competition Day at CFNE

I left at 5am and arrived around 7am.  My first event was Triple Take:
3 x 3min AMRAPs with a 30second rest in between.

1st: 10 thrusters at 65lbs- jumping pull ups
2nd: 10 power cleans - target burpees
3rd: push jerks - box jumps 20inch

Ended up winning all 3.  It was very intense but I stayed steady.

Next was the agility course - which I really screwed up getting over the hurdles.  That slowed me down big time.  Bonus points were collected with max CTB in 30secs and than max c+j @135 in 30sec.  Did 12 pull ups - with 2 no rep.  I did 4 clean and jerks.

Last was 1minute max reps at 115lb bench - got 33 reps.  Then a 30sec rest and then max hang squat cleans @115.  I ended up with 17 or 18 reps.  We had to pause on top - slowed me down awful.

Over all I am very excited with my results.  I had a head cold and still did very well.  Exciting as I look forward to the 2014 Open.

Sunday October 27: Complete day off as I was very tired and sick.

Monday October 28
I did some light training - due to my very congested lungs.  Coughing like crazy - so rest.

Tuesday October 29

Mid day I did a 5rm strict press.  I managed 5 @ 115.  Then did max reps at 85% - 100.  I ended up with 10 reps.  Felt very sluggish.

Late afternoon - completed 4 sets of max unbroken deadlifts at 225 with a 30sec rest in between each set.  Ended up with 20, 17, 16, 14 reps.

Followed that with some pull ups and push ups.

Feeling a little better today.
