This was yet another WOD that killed me.  I seem to be on a "losing" streak the last few weeks, hopefully I will shake this off and get it back together.
I planned on doing sets of 3 for the Clean and Jerks.  That fell apart in the second round, when I started the 2s and 1s.  That alone ruined my time.  In hindsight, I should have started with sets of 2s, maybe that would have helped.  The Ring Dips weren't bad, the box jumps were quick, the clean and jerks was were I spent a lot of time sucking wind, aweful.  This was a tale of two halves.  I think I did a good job on the first half (10-9-8), but fell apart in the second half.

If there is a silver lining, my Jerk is coming along pretty well.  I didn't press at all, got under the bar pretty good (well, good relative to how I used to, at least I wasn't really pressing).

I think my issue recently is not being able to find that "pace".  On any given day, your pace will be different for the same workout, depending on what your "best" is that day.  I have been way off recently, falling apart with lots of work left to do.  The other issue is that my "best" is also not where it should be.  I hope to get that back soon, clean up the diet, eat better, sleep more, cut out the alcohol.  All those will go a long way to improving my performance.  We shall see.
