Ab tabatas (hollow body rockers and supermans, 20 seconds on 10 off). Then lots of work on kip swing technique, which I have largely figured out. Now I just need to get more core strength so that I can get out far enough to do a proper toe to bar. The WoD was 10 front squats @ 95 pounds (for me--half of Rx) plus 15 kip swings (RX was true toe to bar). First class with Balogna! Fun to see the method she brings to this.

Oh my dog that was hard. It took me an hour to run the braids. That's normally 35 minutes. And I was not taking it easy. This is the toughest snow to run on.
Loooong ones. first 10 minutes of alternating push up planks and heavy carries with a partner, then a 16 minute WoD of four rounds of EMoMs. Carrying a 15 pound plate:
-floor to overhead
-flutterkicks
-squats
-russian twists
The twists are the killers.

make up run now that it's a balmy -13 out. The mission was to run two 15 minute intensity sets. Did it. The trails are icing sugar which throws me all over the place. Hard to get a rhythm, so I went to plan B and got to Lions Club, which was nicely plowed. Good steady tempo from then on. Left hammy still modestly tight.

Snowtervals. 5x 4 minutes plus 2K2s Super tough, especially up k2. Found myself a bit far from home and so threw in an extra 4 minuter to get back faster.
Pullup day. 5x5 strict pullups. Then pullups and 100 meter row AMRAPs with a partner for 10 minutes, followed by 10 wallballs and 100 meter rows for 10 more.
I did 2x5, then 2x4, then 2x3 on the strength part. Broder had me working on my kip swing for the AMRAP. I like me them kip swings. Hands are toughening up so that at least shards of skin aren't tearing off by the end of the set.
