Shorter, sharper

6-7-2011: three testers. Feeling better rested despite not getting as much sleep as usual. In part that's volume tapering, in part I think it's summertime.

830am: 300m run, 20 DB GTO (35#), 300m row
Time: high 3:40s? 3:51?
I went out pretty hard on the run. Didn't realize the dumbbell standard (both sides of each touch floor) so I missed a rep or two early. Hard not to hunch back on the GTO. First 10 db snatch, then 10 c&j. Row was unfocused, didn't have a great mental plan and struggled hard on the last 100m. Afterward, lay on the ground for a minute.

1pm: 30-25-20 OHS/ 30-30-30 DU
Time: 3:36
This went well. I realized I have to go heavier than comp weight with overhead squats in order to prepare myself. Here, I did a few reps at 45-65-75-85. Then I warmed up with a 3-2-1 of OHS at 95# mixed with 10 double unders x 3. Made the 65# bar feel easy. Didn't put the bar down during OHS sets, though paused a few times to reset balance, breathing. DUs unbroken, each set faster than prior.

5pm: 15-12-9 chin-up, 35# kbs, burpee (to standing on plate)
Time: 4:18
Very do-able.
