Rough day today. Was mentally stressed and getting frustrated before I even go to the gym. I was looking forward to today's training and tests all week. But I started getting stressed out before I got to the gym and then I just couldn't get things to work on my snatchs above 130 and I let it frustrate me even more. After a few misses I just called and moved on to OHS.

Metcon: Had to fight mentally during the 30 hpc, at regionals for the team workout I did the 15 UB, but they were at the end of the workout and it was only 15. After I did 10 it felt alot different knowing I had 20 left rather than 5. I was hoping to do 4 sets of 5 to finsih the 20 but had to do 3's looking back at the video it didn't look like they were hard at all and looked like I could have done 5's but it just felt heavy. That may be something I need to work on. Getting used to pushing through reps? Got to the row and the first 1500m was the longest 1500m I've ever rowed in my life. The meters wouldnt go away fast enough and I couldn't seem to get it below 2:00. I was fighting with myself mentally the whole time. I'm sure if I did this again I could row at a 1:58-1:59 pace. I think some of it was in my head. Mike was there pushing me and encouraging me the whole time but I've never had so much trouble getting over pain mentally. Not sure how this compares to doing it how they did in regionals either. I think it would be easier to start with the 2k row than end with it. But I could be wrong.

We came home after training and I had a huge mental break down. I'll admit, balled my eyes out to Mike. I know every training day isn't going to be a good training day but I just all of a sudden got overwhelmed with what's going to happen when I start busy season with taxes and train and do the Open. I started stressing and freaking out that I didn't know how I was going to handle it all. I was scared that my work schedule was going to affect my training and I wouldn't qualify for regionals. He tried reassuring me that I will qualify for regionals, he has more confidence than I do I guess but I think he has to. I know my trianing is in the hands of one of the best and if for some reason I don't qualify it's not the end of the world but it's a goal of mine that I want to reach and hate the fact that work is getting in the way. There's nothing I can do about it now but learn to handle it better mentally and attack it all with a positive attitude.
