Today was awesome! I love training as a team already! The thruster/rope climb workout wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I felt like we did really well on this, our transitions were fast and we never really stopped moving. We passed off the bar from our shoulders and I think that was definitely the best way for us to do it. Rope climbs were one at a time and they were all really fast. I slowed down a bit on my last two climbs, I lost my footing on the first one and my grip was just really tired on the second one. For the most part I felt like my rope climbs were pretty quick and they have definitely gotten better but I still need to work on getting up the rope faster under fatigue. I also need to have Brandie help me on the descent, hers is the fastest by far, and if she can teach me how to do it that way then I think it will help a lot. Our communication was good throughout and we finished under the time cap, Stephen said our time would have put us at 5th last year for that workout!

I was a bit disappointed in my time for the strict handstand push up workout, I thought I would have been closer to 3 minutes. I broke up the first set of HSPU 5/4, then 2/2/2 then 1/1/1. The first set was EASY and I thought I would be good for the rest of the workout, but once I got to the set of 6 they felt a lot harder. Dammit. I was also resting too much between sets of 2 but I didn't want to fail any. Hang cleans were very easy. Burpees probably should have been faster on the set of 9 and 6. Meh. Not super happy with my time on this.
