500 @ 1:46.6
500 @ 1:49.4
500 @ 1:47.6

2k @ 7:12.2

Today went well and was encouraging.  The first part was a great warm up and primer to know what the pacing should feel like.  The 2k was good as well.  the 3rd 500 was taxing, and fell off the pace a bit but I was able to bring the pace back down.  I peaked out around 1:53 but finished around 1:39 for the last 85-90m.  I'll take it but know I have a long way to go.

May-1
A. Wtd. Rings Neutral Grip Pull-up @31x1 - 4,4,4,3,3; rest 2min (use wtd. vest not chain belt)
B. Wtd. Strict HSPU - 5 x AMRAP UB; rest 2min (10# added, control negative, protect neck)
C. Feet Elevated Ring Row @31x1 - 5 x 8-10; rest 2min (add load as needed)
D. Feet Elevated Rings Push-ups @33x3 - 5 x 8-10; rest 2min (add load as needed)

A.  35# vest across
B.  5 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4 w/ 10# slam bell in between my knees.  See Video
C.  8 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 6,2 - done at bodyweight
D.  8 / 6,2 / 4,4 / 4,4 / 2 x 4 done at bodyweight after struggling to complete the first 8.  The holds at the bottom and top of the movement

Was a more challenging day of programming than I had expected when I initially read the programming.  Had to break up the rings rows / ring push ups even when done at body weight.  The tempo / pacing was hard when done at just body weight.

Check x 3

A.  Really pleased with this.  The heaviest I've power snatched in a while was 80kg and to hit 81kg x 2 with the pause and the tech pretty solid feels good

B.  Not sure I was doing these right. Did a combo of stiff legged and lower my hips and keeping my chest up more.  I should've filmed but my phone died

C.  HAMMIES and GLUTES!!!

D.  felt good across all weights.  Much better than the first couple times.  Re-familiarizing myself with the motion.

Check

A.  Moderately heavy weights up to the first set @ 100kg felt great, that last wet was a grind.  Working on keeping head back as when i descend I have a tendency to come forward.  Made a noticeable difference.  The last couple reps of the first set of 100kg and the reason I failed on the second set was because breathing got really difficult.  It was like a retcon.  Definitely not a leg strength issue.

B.  Holy smokes, My lower back lit up on this, in a good way.  Having to reset after every rep was definitely more taxing but needed.  Having said that, 2 days later, my hamstrings were ON FIRE.  

C.  Getting into a better rhythm with these.  Trying to pull lower on my sternum and get head through.  Tempo dips weren't a problem.

D1.  The 4 second lean away in a hollow body limited the # of reps here.  Very taxing on the lats.
D2.  Didn't have paralettes so did on 24inch boxes. Definitely couldn't do it with straight legs, when I tried my quads felt like the were going to tear.  Between sets, I did some couch stretches and that made the subsequent rds better but midline was already fatigued.

It was CFDC's 7th anniversary and they did fight gone bad and needed all the rowers so I used an old air dyne and ran the 200m.  Unfortunately I also left my HR watch at home.  Maintained the same cals 15-17 and time on the 200m run so feel like it was around the 85th percentile
