Late to the party today!

Warmup done ✅

A. Hang snatch and snatch every 2 mins

Worked up to 64kg, 2 off PB so I’ll take that today.

B. Nitrous RX
6’38

Haven’t done this one for almost 3 years and beat that time by almost 1 minute. Row done around 3’35 and def helped going out fast and then cruising the last 100m for a quick transition.
Took the extra seconds to put my belt on and that def made the thrusters feel easier and went 20/11/11/8 so 1 less break than last time here as well 👍🏻

Great work Al. After I finished I wondered if the thrusters would have felt better if I had used my belt. Not sure anything would have made them feel better at 4:00 am.

A. Hang Snatch + Snatch
55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95(f),85,90,95(f)
***Today’s reps felt hit or miss..not super solid. Couldn’t get hang snatch after 80#.

B. Nitrous – 9:43
1000m Row – 4:30.8
50 Thrusters @ 65# – all broken up
***One of my worst times for this one. But today’s success was just finishing..thrusters felt awful and I wanted to just quit…but I just ignored the clock and pushed on.
