For time:

400m Run (each round)

15 – 12 – 9
Squat cleans @ 70/47.5kg
Strict deficit handstand push-ups*, 3.5/2″

• The intent is for HSPU to match the Clean effort, choose a deficit (or no deficit) that forces you to break them to sets.

Target time. < 14:00 CAP 17:00

Overview. This triplet covers a lot of ground in terms of movement patterns. Each movement represents an opportunity to make up time ( = plan your approach based on your strengths).
Pacing. Aim for a repeatable 400 pace (your best 5km pace is a good reference point). To do well here, you don’t want a big drop-off on the run between the rounds. The cleans will either be touch and go OR most likely quick singles. Make sure to extend at the top on the reps (as it’s VERY easy to cut these short). It’s best to break the HSPU into sets (e.g. 5-5-5 or 3-3-3-3-3, 4-4-4 or 3-3-3-3 and 5-4 or 3-3-3) to avoid getting stuck in the later rounds.
Remember that in a 3 round piece like this, it’s the 2nd round that often feels the worst (but if you can push here you’ll likely get a solid time).
