Not a great morning. Was already tired and by Wednesday my hands are so raw and it is very painful to even grip a bar. My left thumb gets ripped wide open early every week even having tape on my thumbs.  So no amount of tape could make my hands feel better.  This lead to some serious tears shed throughout the work.  Luckily I pulled it together to just get through the block work.

1) 5X2 Snatch off Blocks (at knee) – heavy but perfect—not maximal, rest 60 sec. DEMO VIDEO

Clinicals 7a-5p.  We had a code that lasted for 3 hours.  Turns out that when you are really strong and fit and people know it, they want you to do all the chest compressions = Functional fitness right there.  End Tidal CO2 with chest compressions = ideally 20-25.  I was getting it up to 37.  Boom! That patient's body was being perfused when I was working on her.  I think I broke all of her ribs too because everyone that would do compressions after me said that is was much easier and like mush.  But, they say chest compressions are effective unless you break some ribs.  The patient died but it wasn't because we didn't do all that we could.  I mean I have never heard of a code that lasted for 3 hours.  I was soaking wet and covered with sweat because we had to wear the isolation gowns.

5:28 Was so slow.  Was so tired at this point in the day.  I didn't want to do it but Sunshine (Ryan) wanted to try it out since it's a workout this weekend for the Pensacola Beach Brawl. I think sub 5 is possible this weekend when my legs aren't screaming at me because they are so sore and tired.  My left IT band is so tight and out of control sore that I was basically squatting on my right leg.
