7/2/20 - Kettlebells, Bikes, and More Than I Bargained For…

Really great training day today that completely wore me out. I had a half day of work so I did some kettlebell training around 0945.

• Snatch Test - 24 kg x 105 in 5 minutes - 20/20, rest, 15/15, rest, 10/10, 5/5 - This was the culmination of my Swing/Snatch program and I am very happy with the result. I had no idea how this was going to go because it’s been forever since I did a snatch test, but it wasn’t bad at all. I’ve definitely suffered more in the past.

• Grad Workout x 10 EMOM - 24s x 2 CL, 1 OHP, 3 FS

Took a break, went to Costco, ate some lunch, and then decided to go for a mountain bike ride. I had planned on a nice little 10-mile ride on some trails I had never been on at Green Lane Park. I didn’t fill my Camelbak all the way because I didn’t figure I’d be out long. I was wrong. The Blue Trail out there was miserable. I probably walked with my bike as much if not more than I rode. It was 90 F and I wasn’t sure that part of the ride was ever going to end. Still a great day of being outside in the heat and sunshine and in the woods. Rode 14 miles in 2:15:00 for a terrible average speed but I made it. Hopefully November’s race isn’t like the Blue Trail or I’ll be out there all weekend.
