Noon
5 rounds for time:
5 heavy tire flips
5 burpee jump through tires
3:40 – tire wasn’t the biggest thing ever but not easy. was steady the first 4 rounds then pushed it at the end. rest as needed5 rounds for time:
10 stone to shoulder 150#
10 box jumps 24″
14:03 – easily the hardest of the 3 today. stone was a grind. box jumps were step downs the whole way and were just rest from the stone. stone had to be lapped and then rolled up my body on every represt as neededFor time:
60 KB snatch 2 pood (alt per 5)
20 wall walks
6:48 – 5 reps, put bell down, take a breath, 5 reps, put bell down…. repeat. Snatches went at a good clip. But I knew the wall walks were going to be the time suck. They are a great drill to help teach you what you are capable of doing when your shoulders hurt SO BAD!

*last set of snatches almost floored me. so hard! these sets are designed to make you feel pain and I know that all to well. fast forward about 10sec after you step of the airdyne. It is just as Tony Bourdain once described the tazer gun to be. Your body feels like one giant open cavity and the dentist just hit the nerve with the drill. The pain spreads like electricity and it is inescapable for a few split seconds. To think that you willingly get back on that bike is crazy on many levels. Fine Dyning at its best.

– Pool sprints really are a nice way to start this off. I imagine is simulates some of the added exertion of being in open water and battling currents. I’ve been pushing these and perhaps going beyond 90%. Made the quick transition and did a 20min easy bike on a single speed. Ran 2500m in about 10mins. Tried to stay upbeat and posture during entire run felt great.
