Training (2p)

A. Squat snatch; build to a tough single
*Built quickly to 240 with no misses, then missed 250 twice. Starting to get a little frustrated with not being able to control 250 like I should. I understand that the absolute strength probably isn't super important and as long as I can be competent with the 85% threshold for moderate reps, things will be fine, still should be able to hit this. 

B. Front squat; 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; rest 2 min
*285/295/305/315/325

For time:
3k row
300 double unders
3 mile run
*37:11
*Actually felt really good here, surprised a little at how solid the row felt to begin with. Rowed a 10:48 and it felt fine. Held back a little because I wanted to smash the DU's. Was able to pick up rope and start DU's in less than 10 seconds. Hit a set of 110 and then broke. Went to 220 and broke. Finished the last set of 80. No mistakes, 3:27 from the time I got off the row until I was out the door. Left before 14:30. 1st mile felt TERRIBLE, it was 8:17. Second mile started to loosen up and lengthen my stride, it was 7:40. Final mile was 6:58 and felt great. I have no idea how the guys at the games were doing this in 33 minutes. There is no way anyone got out the door before I did on the run, which means they were running 5:40 or less miles. That is insanity.
