Double Unders and Clean / Push Jerk

I'm flying out to Houston tonight on the 6 pm.  Since I normally attend our 6 pm class at the box I went in early (10:30am class) to keep "ahead" of my fitness goals.  One thing that is a bit disappointing is that the attendance has dropped off quite a bit lately.  Not quite sure why but the morning classes are usually 4-5 people and the night classes are typically 7+.  When I signed up for the class I was the only one so I was real happy to see that Jon (who was signed up for the 9:30) decided to wait and do the 10:30 so he could have someone do it with him.  We also had Chad sign up last minute and a punch card guy (Brian) come in.

Looking forward to this WOD since I saw it posted yesterday.  Double Unders and 95# clean and push jerk.  Two things that I am pretty good at.  My body was still a little sore from yesterday's WOD (wall climbs were tough) so I went in 30 minutes early to get some good stretching in.

WOD:
5 min Double Unders
5 min 95# Clean & Push Jerk
3 min
3 min
1 min
1min
Score = Total number of reps

Temps were in the low 30's so we warmed up on the rower inside.  After rollouts I went through a few rounds of double unders and stopped right around 20 reps.  Did this 3 or 4 times.  Felt really good going into the WOD.

3-2-1-GO

Let me start with my final scores.  229 total Rx.  144 / 64 / 21.

On Round 1 I got a nice set of double unders in right off the bat.  51 total in a row.  Then the train fell of the tracks.  I could only squeeze in single digits in a row (and low single digits).  Ended up with 119 the first round.  Got to the bar for clean and push jerk and could only squeeze out 25.  I'm finding that the cardio is killing my performance and is an area I really need to get after.  Round 2 was 45 double unders and 19 clean / push jerks.  Don't remember what the final round was but I just kept moving.

Lessons learned:

Stay after my diet.  Drop the grains big time.
Work on cardio.  I think I'm going to start back up on the cardio workouts each day also.  30 minutes on a bike or elliptical or treadmill in addition to the WOD will pay off.
