3rd day of competition and the 2 toughest workouts left. When I heard what event 6 was I genuinely was worried about that weight on the deadlifts. The joke of Saturday night was that I’d be having my spine Re-inserted in some Latvian hospital whilst @lee_demain and @ben__freeman_ fed me jelly an ice cream . My aim was to just get 1 round, however I managed to get 9 reps from finishing the workout so was absolutely buzzing with this.
Event 7 and my chance to actually finish a workout and jump in to that podium finish Mat with a bit of a dramatic slide. This was by far my favourite workout, it was an absolute killer on the shoulders and lats but I just love an OHS. I pushed hard and got my highest place finish of the weekend and that dramatic slide on to the finish mat.
I was glad we were finished but also a bit gutted cos I’d had such a great weekend.
.
Overall finish - 14th place

Event 4
3 attempts to hit a max complex
3 hang cleans
3 front squat
3 Jerk
.
102kg (17th place)
.
This was the event I was the most disappointed with from a personal performance perspective. I’ve worked hard all year to build my strength and when it came to the event that I needed it, it was my head game that got in the way. I was in the 4th section to lift so had to wait 3 minutes on the floor watching all the others make their attempts. I said to myself in the warm up I wouldn’t get caught playing someone’s else’s game an just focused on what I think I can lift. I planned to open on 100kg but because of the 3 minutes I had to wait I bottled it an opened with an easy 90kg, as you weren’t allowed to go down in weight for your next lift, so decided to get a safe banker. For my next lift went 102kg which felt easy so I watched what everyone else did. Big mistake! I tried to make the jump to 112kg so I’d win my heat when in the back of my mind I was saying go for 108kg, this would have given me second in my heat and eventually would have given me 12th overall. I missed the 3rd front squat at 112kg and I’ve never been so pissed off with myself, I thought go hard or go home an it failed. Lesson learnt, bit of a better plan next time an stick to it.

Event 3
For time (15 min cap)
50 wall balls 12kg
40 GHD sit ups
500m assault runner
30 box jumps 24”
500m assault runner
40 GHD sit ups
50 wall balls
.
280 reps (16th place)
.
I was slightly disappointed with the result of this one as I thought I’d finish it. Quite a few costly no reps meant I was 30 reps short of finishing. Brilliant gassy workout that really hit the quads especially on those second set of GHD sit ups, they felt like they were on so those last wall balls were interesting. Loved getting to use the #assaultrunner, top bit of kit wish I could afford one . .

What a weekend!! @battle_of_riga hosting an unreal event over 3 days and it was a pleasure to share the floor with the man @lee_demain. Big shout to @ben__freeman_ For being our media man and manager for the weekend . Finished in 14th place which is higher than I qualified and I’m happy with the placing considering how tough the workouts were, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
.
Massive shout to @jst_competeprogramming for the awesome programming, @the_performance_lab for making sure my back was fixed up an in good shape (even on the 150kg deadlifts ). Thanks to @_rebeluk for kitting me out, @murgsfit for keeping the knees secure throughout the weekend and @box_nutrition for making sure my nutrition was on point leading up to the event and throughout the weekend.
.
Now time to enjoy a beer in the beautiful city Riga and then a weeks rest before it’s time to hit the @berlinthrowdown qualifiers.
