Post thanksgiving feast.

We grilled a tri tip roast and sauteed some squash for dinner at my brother's house.

I did drink some beer so I'm pretty sure I was still not in the Zone, but it's better than mashed potatoes and gravy!

Saturday @ Brand X

Mystery Fran

Thrusters
Pull ups

Partner workout. Coaching partner recieves a postit with a mystery combination of Pull up and Thruster sets totalling 45 reps in 3 rounds. Athlete performing the workout doesn't know how many reps each set will contain. Keep working until your partner/coach tells you to move from on exercise to the other.

Andrea was my coach.

Thrusters in the first round seemed interminiable.
Pull ups in the first round were ridiculously small set

Middle round manageable for each exercise.

Thrusters were not bad but I still broke them due to mental fatigue. LOL.
Pull ups were never ending.

I finished just at the 10 minute cap.

Thrusters - 23-12-10
Pull ups - 7-6-32

Harsh.
