    Avg. Pace: 9:20
    Elevation: 613ft

    Splits pretty consistent. Felt good entire run. Hamstrings got a little tight from hills, but not to bad. Sub hill repeats in for mile repeats on Thursday. Was able to finish strong, still had more in the tank.

    Squat Clean
    3-3-3

  • Row, Wall Ball, Pull Up, K2E Workout

    3 RFT
    Row 300m
    10 Wall Ball 14/20
    10 Pull Up
    10 Knees To Elbows

    Row was strong. Wall balls harder than I thought as straight after the row, I was finding it hard to breathe and also found it hard to find my rhythm. Need to work on my grip on the pull up bars as that's where I lose my time. Gained a nasty blood blister on each hand during the last round. Transitions were really slow too. I just seem to be off. Really wanted under 15 minutes, but oh well. Had a rough weekend food wise, so definitely feeling it!
