25:01 - sub-2:00 on the row average was a little disappointing...this was tough! I was hoping to average around 1:50 for the rows and was near that on the first one, then settled into 1:55-2:00 for the remainder.
I think on a re-test I would be able to shave some time off and maybe be in the 23:00s...I was very cautious when starting the C&J to be sure I was ready to go unbroken.

A. Hang power snatch, build to a max for the day - hit #170, missed #175, can't get the catch down!
B. Clean pulls, 3 x 1 @ 275; begin a set every 2:00 - heavy, but ok...
then 9 rounds even:
5 toes-to-bar
5 power cleans, 135
5 shoulder-to-overhead, 135
:45 walk rest
All at :24-:25 - these went quicker than I thought they would, TTB felt a bit better today...
+ 3 sets:
:35 row @ 97%
effort 4:55 walk rest
204m
204m
206m
These got rough! Still was able to go over 200 meters which was similar to the last time I did this in late June (and that was at altitude).
A. Squat snatch, build quickly to a tough single - felt like the tin man warming up, hit #145-#165-#185 - feeling more confident in being able to hit 185
B. Squat clean & jerk, 8 x 1 @ 205; begin a rep every :60 - this felt rough - may not have been warm-ed up enough...
+ For 15:00:
1st: 8 kipping handstand push-ups
2nd: 8 wall balls, 30 to 10'
3rd: 8 CTB pull-ups
All unbroken and felt pretty good, HSPU felt the best they have (ever)
+
For time:
60 burpee box jumps @ 24, begin every minute w/6 kettlebell swings @ 70
11.12
A. Squat clean & split jerk, build to heavy single - #225, seem stuck here...not comfortable with the transition from clean to jerk and not getting under the bar
B. Butterfly CTB pull-up, 10 x 3 unbroken; begin a set every :40 - ok
then 12:00 @ 80%:
5 muscle-ups(unbroken)
5 squat snatches, 115
5 kipping handstand push-ups(unbroken)
5 med ball over the shoulder
3 rounds and all but 3 medballs on round 4, HSPU felt the best of the movements today
A. Hang power snatch, build to a 2RM - an ugly #165, went from above the knee, and I can't seem be very explosive and then drop into a good power position from there
B. Clean pulls, 4 x 1 @ 265; begin a set every :90, these were ok...
then 6 rounds for even times:
7 toes-to-bar (ugly, need to clean up)
7 ground-to-overhead, 115
7 bar-facing burpees
:90 walk rest
:47 :45 :44 :43 :44 :44? Timer cut off...
I felt like I was moving pretty quickly, looking at the video I was very sloppy, the TTB were broken and several iffy reps, on the burpees I needed to be sure to get my chest down, I felt like I was, but the video looks differently...
then
3 sets:
:30 row @ 97% effort
4:30 walk rest
173m
177m
175m
Slightly below the 180 threshold I was hoping for...
11.09
A. Back squat, 3-3-3, 20X1; 3:00 rest - 295-305(315)-310(320) - I had an extra 10 on the right side for the last 2 sets, thought something was off... sometimes I just can't count...
B1. Weighted supinated CTB pull-up, 1-1-1, 21X0; :90 rest -62-70-78
B2. Behind-the-neck push press, 3-3-3, 21X1; :90 rest -135-165-185-should've have started heavier...
C. Offset carry, build to a very heavy 20m/side - 88 Overhead and 120 in the farmer - felt solid, after I got the bell overhead, getting it there was tough...
+
5 sets:
1 legless rope climb (better than expected)
10' handstand walk (felt solid)
:30 rest
:60 Assault Bike @ 90% aerobic (450+ watts)

A. Hang power snatch, build to a 3RM - wasn't feeling these today, only hit #155 - not sure what was going on with these
B. Clean pulls, 4 x 1 @ 260; begin a set every :90, felt ok...
then

Last time I did these in June I was at 153 every time, so I'm a bit disappointed with these today...my rowing has seemed off lately...
