Really fun day! I was dreading the run/wall ball workout since I really hate running. I wanted to make sure I was pushing myself on this, it definitely made me run faster knowing there were people waiting on me. I actually finished the run a lot faster than I thought I would, so that was cool. Wall balls were broken up 21/10/9/10. I definitely could have opened with a bigger set and I was resting too long between sets. Next time we do this workout I'm going to push myself a lot more on the wall balls, but overall I was pretty happy with my performance on this one. 

Snatching with a men's bar actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I was basically just being a baby about it. It felt weird when we were warming up but I got used to it pretty quickly. I still think it's slightly more difficult to aggressively turn the bar over but overall it wasn't too bad. I worked up to 145 in the warm up and Stephen said I should open with that. I don't know why I freaked out when he said that, I can hit a 145 snatch pretty easily every time, but for some reason I had imagined starting at 125 or 135. I need to stop being a bitch when it comes to stuff like this. Anyways, Heather went first and I snatched after her. I hit 145 on the first try and then put 45s on the bar for Mark. Switching weights is definitely going to be stressful, there's really only time for one good attempt, two if you only rest about 7-10 seconds. 

We only had about three minutes rest before the handstand walk. It went pretty well, I thought I was moving efficiently. I made it 50' no problem but I rested too long at the turnaround. I was able to make it back without having to break but I should have cut the rest way down at the halfway point. Next time, I would like to measure out a longer distance to start because I definitely could have kept going past the first 50'. I would like to see if I can hit something closer to 70'.
