Regional Prep, Events 2 and 3

Was a little tired and groggy after "Jackie". Had 60g of carbs and progenex. Took a 30 minute nap and then had a normal meal about 90 minutes before the start of the OHS Complex. Warming up took a little longer than I thought, almost 90 minutes because of mobility and then warming up the OHS as well as Muscle-Ups. Worked up to 255 on the OHS and didn't go heavier. Did about 4-6 Muscle-Ups without the burpee. I then rested about 7 minutes before starting. I was pretty gassed with just the warm-up so I am glad I didn't go any heavier and I don't think I should do too many more muscle-ups as it really affects the pull for the cleans. 

Played with a new way to get the bar to my back and I really liked it. I just push press enough to clear my head and then come down on my back. A little more dicey but MUCH easier than a full jerk. I thought about playing with a snatch balance for my first rep but I think it is a little too big of a gamble. I CANNOT fail on these reps. 

The complex went faster than I anticipated. I had 1:11 at the end but decided to rest for the muscle-ups. If I had to, I could have attempted 295 for 1. However, for only 1 place, I am not sure it is worth it as I think it would REALLY effect my muscle-ups and recovery. I will play it by ear, if more than one person is at 295, I will go for it but otherwise, 285x3 may be the way to go and have extra rest. Thoughts? I pushed 265 pretty quick and almost lost it. 

Event 2:
7m to Find 3RM OHS
*285x3
Time breakdowns:
255 - 21 Seconds
Rest - 51 Seconds
265 - 30 Seconds
Rest - 1:32
275 - 23 Seconds
Rest - 1:41
285 - :26 Seconds
Rest - 1:11

Event 3: 
30 Burpee Muscle-Ups for time (Rings set at 88" heigh for all competitors)
*6:45
*1st 10 - 1:39
*2nd 10 - 2:26
*3rd 10 - 2:39
*I am aware that this isn't a GREAT time but I am super pumped about this, I figured out the best way to kip on these short ass rings and I have ALOT of time I can shave off of here. In 3 weeks, I think I can get this down to 6:10-6:15 which I think HAS to be top 12 right? I did this with a guy who is GREAT at Muscle-Ups, has a low 2 minute 30 for time and is about 5'10. He had lots of trouble with the rings swinging on him. He finished at 6:13. Anway, I am sure 6:45 needs to get faster but I feel so much more confident.
