Really? More swings and burpees

Allow me to take this moment to thank the “weather gods” for sending these temperatures my way.

It was so wonderful Thursday morning!

For the first time in months I left for class without my jacket — just a T-shirt and my Lulu crops.  Sweet!  And the wind felt so good in the gym.  I love this time of year in Austin.

And I love that I wasn’t too sore from Wednesday’s swings and burpees, because that’s what the WOD was.

AMRAP 10 min
2 Handstand push ups
4 burpees
8 swings (M 2 pood / W 1.5 pood)

Results: 7 rounds + HSPU + Burpees + 4 swings @ 1 pood (16kg)

Why such a short AMRAP?  Because we did a strength component today:

Hang Squat Clean
3-3-3-3-3

I feel much more comfortable with the clean moves.  I did 45-65-75-80-85.  An 85# clean?  I’ll take it.

And this weather?  I’ll take it too.  Welcome, spring!  I’ve missed you!  I just wish you would stick around past May and June.
