10:35 - about 90% effort today. Focused on keeping my heels on the ground on the kbs (unbroken, then two sets of 10+ 8+ 7). Still a bit wrecked from the athlete camp. Couldn't find my previous time to compare.
I was on pace to match my PR of 4:50 but I lost my last KB swing and dumped it behind me. That plus I didn't set my rower properly meant some lost time. However, I felt GREAT. The rows felt like I had the damper on 3 even though it was on 7.5, burpees were steady if not particularly fast, and other than the last KBS, my grip held and I went unbroken.
Followed the WOD with some handstand and handstand walk practice. I was too tired to get any strict HSPUs today but I had a little bit for walks still in the tank:
A. hang power clean - build to a tough double in no more than 4 sets
B. KBS moderate x 21; rest 1 min x 3
A.(#95/#115/#135) #145
Here's the #145 set
B. Done unbroken with a #44 KB to games standard - my grip was starting to feel taxed at the end of the last set, so I'm glad I chose this weight.
Handstand practice after. Tried some new things - including trying to get into a handstand from facing the wall, and some 'scorpion' handstands, which are basically handstands on your forearms. Here's one good one where I stayed in the handstand sweet spot for almost two seconds:
