Events training

Sunny day at RPB today. Not a bad training session but it could've been better. Had a lot of explosive strength especially with the weight for height where I made the 4 m mark easily and just missed the 4.25 several times. I'm not at all confident in my left collar bone and prefer to press the weight instead of jerking it. I also struggled a few times to clean the weight for the axle presses. A sign that I should keep practicing technique. The yoke runs were epic, battling away with Kevin who I think will peak at competition time if he keeps injury free. My lower back was completely spent after that 330 kg run/walk. On to the medley for some conditioning. It's so easy to lose valuable seconds due to lack of focus or improper form.

I managed to get another PR today with the farmers hold in spite of my left biceps which was on his way to separate from the bone. I could've gone more but it got seriously scary when the "good" pain changed into that nasty pain when the adrenaline before a tear or injury kicks in. I enjoyed the overhead yoke runs. I think it has a "therapeutic effect" on my upper back and shoulders. All in all a good day and a good week.
