17:54 as RX'd.

Beat my last time by 4:56, and I was able to do all the KB swings this time (switched out for Russian swings last semester).

That was a smoker.

Scaled down the swings to American swings to go easier on my hands.

Ended up tearing pretty badly anyways. Oh well.

Survival swimming should be fun today.

I nearly puked on this one! Miserable! The stairs were just down right terrible! Nice work by everyone on a tough one!

21:17 as rx'd - over a minute after than last time.

Worked out with Chandler Smith and Erin this morining. We did "Annie". For those of you who dont know that is 50-40-30-20-10 of LL unders and situps(normally with an abmat but we didnt have any).
I got 6:20 on the workout which was 1 minute 55 second PR as Rx'd.
Then we ran some sprints.

Aloha,

19:57

KBS to stairs SUCKED.

Had Strength Team tryouts today.
Max reps of Bench Press @ 185 pounds, an impressive 1 rep for me.
Max reps of Front Squat @ 185, 4 reps.
2 30 second sets of pull-ups and dips: 21,17 on the pull-ups, I think. 22,13 on the dips, again, I think.
Then we had a METCON of: 25 burpees, 50 wall ball shots (10 feet) @ 20 pounds, and a 90 pound, 100 yard sled push: 7:39/7:49, I don't remember which, I was on the floor with some seriously cramping legs. That was pretty tough, but cool to workout in Kimsey.
