Sleepless Nights

I sit here in the sauna of the Wooster YMCA consumed by the thoughts of next week. It’s a rest day, one week away from the day I’ll be traveling to Miami, Florida for the World Kettlebell Championships. Stretch, bake on high for 15 min, cold shower and then back to work for the day.
…Sleep, sleep, sleep… You’re not going to do anything unless you get some sleep….
I didn’t sleep much last night because all I could think about was jerks and snatches, find my rest and don’t give up. Keep pushing. I’ll start off at 8 reps a minute and if I feel good at the 6 minute mark, I’ll make the decision to go to 10 reps a minute; sounds good, I’ll do that, now try and get some sleep… Snatches felt good today, 16 reps a minute for 4 minutes on each arm, I can do one more minute. I wonder if I can finish with a 20 rep minute… What’s the snatch world record again? 211? Or is it 221? I can’t remember, but I can get there. I’ve done shorter sets going 20 reps a minute. I’ll start working on 18-20 reps per minute once I’m through next week successfully.
