Started warming up for snatches then opted to just do squats and sprints today
Squat 135x5, 155x5, 175x3, 200x3, 230x3, 260x7
a few standing jumps reaching for the rafters - yeah I can touch em
10-15min putting shit away
10min bike to hill
10 hill sprints
10min bike home

-260x7 was a pretty good effort - i need to remember its ok to take a few breaths then dunk it on the last few reps.
-Started getting a familiar ab cramp after rep 7 for the hills - a little head wind with some gusts but nothing like it was last week.

Hills

8 hills sprints
10min bike ride there and back
30mph gusts = fun

Ran in my new New Balance MT100s. This is the only time I've worn them so I can't say much more than they are excellent for hill sprints. They're super light with awesome fore-foot and mid-foot traction even on the hard pack covered with gravel shit I typically run on.

-Started HLRs while putting shit away then started supersetting with lunges - go to 65 with these.
