still need to work on pacing -- first 8 minute piece I was able to pace fine. 2 minutes for reps at 80% was hard to pace and I tend to go out too hard. 90% piece for time, I definitely redlined a bit on those no-push-up burpee box jumps then got back under control on the kbs.

In Scottsdale, AZ -- 3-day female athlete camp at OPT, great time. A couple take-aways:
--make it all "just work" (muscle-ups, etc) 
--Oly: pulling from heels --sit ass down (not just in pulling position but through start of pull), squeezing off floor first then fast, bar into hips, work on it at 80%
