Lurong Season

I have been doing this Lurong Paleo Challenge and I have been pretty moody. Since half of my usual diet is sugar this has been though even though I have cheated a few times. Today I was wanting to go by Braums to get a milkshake but instead I went to gym and lifted. 
I was working on some snatch balance and it felt good so I went ahead and started overhead squatting.  I decided I was going for a new PR and got 225 pounds which is a 15 pound PR. 
After that I did a short EMOM. 
225 pound squat clean and 1 front squat. This got pretty heavy for me after a bit. 
I felt good after I did this and was glad I didn't cheat. 

Here is a couple of pics from last weeks Anarchy In the OK competition.

CrossFit Destin

While on vacation to Seaside Florida, we decided to drive to Destin to do a workout.  It was 9/11 and we wanted to so a hard workout and we found it at CrossFit Destin. 
30 ground to overhead or Grace (135 pounds)
Run 1 mile
30 chest to bar pull-ups
Run 1 mile
100 burpees 
37:09

I did the 30 ground to overhead in 4:00 which might be a Grace PR. When our coach was explaining the workout she said "for the mile run go to the beach and come back". I thought that was cool. First run took about 9 minutes. I did 15 chest to bar straight and 3 sets of 5 after that. Second run took about 11 minutes. Blah. 100 burpees took 3 weeks to complete. 
Our coach was an ex female boxing champion named Kathy Rivers Rodriguez which was pretty cool. 

The day before we went to Grayton Beach and ran 3 miles partly on sand dunes and through a forest trail. 

This was a very relaxing vacation and we want to thank Gary Wood for telling us to go to Seaside. 

We will see everyone soon. I am blogging in the car somewhere in Louisiana.
