135-145 on the sled

This was one of my favorite recovery pieces I've ever had!  I love both sled drags and muscle-ups, and this was most enjoyable.  Did the first round with 135 on the sled but it really wasn't tough at all, so added a 10 for the remaining 4 rounds.  145 still wasn't too tough, but it added up by the end.  Alternated backward/forward every 25m.

Decided that I need to take the training wheels off and learn to be comfortable doing muscle-ups on the fat (ok, normal) rings.  Failed more than I would have liked (3 or 4) but successfully made one MU every round.  I just feel like I can't be as aggressive on the turnover, my hands don't slide nearly as easily over the rings.  Just need to get used to it.

Saw Balza this morning - that spot on the back lateral corner has been creeping up again, and no matter how much time I spend smashing it, I can't get it to go away for more than a few minutes at a time.  After yesterday's miserable experience with the thrusters, I decided to take any help I can get before 15.5 this weekend.  Basically, everything in and around my knee is super pissed off, including hamstrings and both gastroc heads and all the little things that attach at the fibular head and all the tendons that attach on the medial tibia.  We're not sure if this is all happening because I'm subconsciously altering how I'm loading that leg to protect the meniscus?  This has me concerned that there's something else going on, and if I go back to see Tim and he says "ok yeah, let me clean up the meniscus" and that doesn't solve the problem, I'd be really upset.  The meniscus fraying was the only abnormal finding on the MRI.  I feel like I'm back at square one.  It's been six fucking months.  Fuck.
