Deadlift PR and Another Girl. Nancy.

Yesterday (4/12) I did 7 single reps of deadlift. The loads were:
295-305-315(fail)-315-325-345-350

305lbs. was my previous personal record, so this workout shattered that by nearly 50lbs. Muy bien.

This afternoon I confronted another one of the tempestuous and demanding CrossFit girls, Nancy.

Five rounds for time of:
400m run
95lb. overhead squat, 15 reps

Now, I knew beforehand that I'd done this workout sometime in November of last year, but I couldn't recall my time. Today I did it in 17:57. I guessed my previous time to be around twenty-something but in consulting my log, I discovered it was 16:55.

I am highly skeptical of this November time, as I was not nearly as fast or strong five months ago as I am today. My guess is that I miscounted rounds. Because there's no way. No way. So, I'm considering this new Nancy time to be the benchmark from which I'll now gauge my future encounters.
