6 mile loop in the park: 49:42 (PR)
Sprinted all of the hills and worked on maintaining a consistent pace throughout.
Who is that skinny dude in the picture?
11:25 (not quite 12 inch jump to bar, but the high bar was more than a foot)
As much as I love E-love (E-amor), there can only be one SKINNY. Welcome home, hoss.

Great snatch practice. Thanks, Coach Allison.
11:47 jumping pull ups
Fun class this morning with the discounted, nips included, tank by jared…Tank Top Tuesday
Also cash out with mike:
30 rolls to squats
15:47. I got crushed this morning. I had a plan of doing 5 every 30 second and resting the remainder. Lol. When I went fast the first 30 seconds and had 5 seconds to rest I realized this was probably not going to work and at 2 minutes I gave up. Then I just rested too much.
I started with strict pull-ups (for speed) and switched to kipping when those got hard. Despite just shaving my calluses I ripped both hands so I’m definitely wearing grips next time.
New strategy: 8 every minute. This would put me at 12:30. I may not be able to maintain this the whole time but it’s a more reasonable goal and I won’t give up so easily. I also think I can do more than sets of 5 since 5 was fine.
Weighted down by my excuse-vest this morning. DNF.
12:12
First 59 pullups strict
Rest kipping
vikram – hate to say it, but Eric is now skinnier than you.
Cash In: Overhead squats 3 x 10 @ 22, 3 x 10 @ 33 lbs.
Great Snatch practice
WOD: 13:43. Nice thigh cramps in the middle.
Cash out with Thorsdauttir: 20 rollups from back extenstion to stands.
Skinny E– When are we going to see you for some 6 a.m. love?
Truth is, I came home and did some shirtless posing after Amylynne complimented the Indian guns this morning.
My wife was unimpressed.
all strict 20:37 – better than not showing up at all – barely.
14:58 jumping pull-ups

Out of town again in St. Louis, so worked out in the hotel gym:

18:40. Stupid high bar.
14:45. Pretty brutal workout. Brendan joining in and killing it was good motivation though.

Goal before I started was 16:00 but after 50 I looked at clock and it said 8:16 and I knew I had no chance.
19:56. The first 10 were ugly.
14:33.
Snatches are starting to feel a bit better. (Partially because the overhead position feels better) Thanks coach Brendan!
13:00
I started doubting my numbers, but my first 10 was in under a minute, so maybe I didn’t miscount.
