"Diane"
21-15-9 for time:
Deadlift 225#
Handstand pushup
It was PR Saturday at the Clubhouse this morning, and we saw lots of new ink on the leaderboards. My lady of choice was "Diane", and I was gonna finally break 4:00 or die trying. My last two attempts at this WOD came in at 4:10. The 1st was OK. It was a PR of 10-15 seconds. The 2nd time, HSPUs just abandoned me completely and was a lot like kissing your sister. So, I was a little nervous. As it turned out, by the time I'd loaded a bar, chalked up and shook out the jitters, there were a bunch of good people waiting to cheer me on. If I'm honest, the deadlifts were light and never presented a problem. I'm reasonably certain that I simply cannot complete them any faster with full ROM. The HSPUs were another story. They started off fairly strong, and I was careful to avoid going to failure, but they declined rapidly. I kipped a rep of the 15s and a number of the 9s as well. Despite that, I never once thought I might not PR. All my friends, clients, people that I love, that I've shed sweat and blood with at the Clubhouse, in short my family...screamed their lungs out, doing their damnedest to lend me their energy when I needed it most. They weren't about to let me fail myself.
And I didn't.

Take that Di.
