Monday German Throwdown and Class 26/9/16

Today I did the second qualifier wod for the German Throwdown. It was a 8 min amrap thruster (30kg) and handstand push up: 3-3-6-6-9-9 and so on. I was not 100% motivated, so I finished 15 rounds and did 6 thrusters. I think there is some space for more but I think we won’t qualify anyways because we are not the strongest team and it won’t be enough. We are 4 persons and two got less reps than me, one of the boys and one girl. I am pretty sure as the male athlete you must finish up round 15 and be somewhere in the middle of 18 or further to have a good score…

Afterwards I did the regular class and well, what was part of the wod?! Thruster, my legs were burning and my shoulders hurt. But I wanted to do it after my rest day(s) at home…

Saturday REST DAY

First one in a while…, it was about time to finally take a rest. Today there was the annual box competition and I decided to help and and not to compete. It actually was a long day, we met at 7 am and finished up around 5:30pm. I felt really tired and exhausted afterwards, even I just organized the structure of the wods, at least I carried weights around. 😉 So = active rest…

At night I went to this awesome (but loud)burger place in Berlin and had a veggie burger plate with sweet potato fries, sooooooooo good.
