Crossfit open 17.3 | Elin Härkönens blogg

I did it. I wasn't sure if I should do it when the workout was released. I've been feeling sick every day since last week. And snatches are one of the worst movements I can do for my neck. My body said no, but my HEAD said YES. sometimes it is a fine line between body and mind. I probably shouldn't have done it. But my competitive side showed up and I didn't wanted to loose my ranking of being nr.1 😂 I decided to give it a go. But be careful! And not continue up to the heavy weights. I have maybe done snatches 3-5 times before (have been trying to avoid it because it is a critical movement for my neck....) so I thought I would get up to 25 kg maximum, which is quite a lot if thats the maximum weight you've ever snatched. Anyway, during the workout I had the BEST support. It was such an AMAZING feeling. It was really challenging for me, and to be honest painful. I actually stopped and had a breakdown in the middle. but thanks to Rach I put myself together and continue. I ended up getting all the way up to 35 kg!! Which I am proud of. Considering I haven't been training this move. super happy and exhausted and just wanted to cry after. have been such a big week. Harder than i could ever imagine. I felt like a winner thanks to my support❤️ Celebration and saying goodbye to my friends on Ocean Street food Market afterwards! perfect way to end the day✨ # breakitandyouwillmakeit
