The thruster gauntlet was fun, I always enjoy a good gauntlet. Everything felt really good, 165 ties my PR and was very easy. I thought I had 175 for a split second but I wasn't able to press it out. I think I could have hit 170 for sure but I wanted to stick to the program and go up by 10 pounds. The PR will happen another day!

The thruster/burpee workout was not as terrible as I thought it would be. At first I thought the thrusters were going to be the shitty part but the burpees actually ended up being the worst part for sure. The thrusters weren't that bad, 30 is just enough to be able to go unbroken before it really starts to get painful. I went way too slow on the burpees, I started out at a pretty steady pace but I slowed down a lot. As I was doing the burpees I thought to myself "I feel like I'm going really slow" but I felt like I couldnt' move any faster. I also hate wearing my lifting shoes doing burpees because it makes my feet feel like they weigh 500 pounds but I had to wear them for the pistols. I definitely should have pushed it more on the burpees. 

My legs were pretty tired on the pistols, I was hoping to get closer to 30 reps. Stephen said they looked faster than usual so that's good. I still have to hold my leg when I go down on the left foot, I need to break that habit because it's slowing me down. The row sucked so much. I think I did a total of :45 of rowing after transition time/pulling down my knee sleeves. It hurt real bad, my legs were fried. I wish I would have performed better today.
