Apparently I was rowing way too slow last week. I thought my pace was supposed to be around 2:20 but Heather informed me it was actually 2:15. Oops!

Handstand hold was really good today, I hit a PR of :22. It might not seem like much but that's a pretty long time for me. I was only able to do :10 for the passive hang, my hands felt raw, maybe from all the toes to bar yesterday? It hurt to hang from the bar. The 1-leg balance was harder than I thought it would be. 

The four rounds were real rough today guys. I had no energy. The run started sucking by the second round. The stone was actually pretty fun and the carry wasn't bad. For some reason the farmers carry was awful today. My forearms were blown up and 53 pounds felt so heavy. I was dragging during this entire thing, I think it took me around 35 minutes? I didn't really time it, I know when I stopped the clock said 25:00 but I had started before the class started. I took a lot of water breaks. I'm wondering if my body is just adjusting to the new diet? I asked Duprie if he felt a dip in energy/performance when he first started RP Strength and he said yes. He said it will get better after about a week, so that's good. It made me feel better that he also went through the same thing. Definitely feeling leaner though and much happier about taking control of my nutrition. Hopefully I'll be back to normal energy levels in the a few days!
