My Thoughts:

It's hot outside, 31 C when I came in... according to my truck temperature gage.

Modification to the run for me; 400 meter rowing per round.

Used the pull up machine instead of the band.  Kudos to all those who worked hard thru the workouts in this heat!

The SKILL; never done a snatch.   Had problems just doing the Snatch High Pulls.  Had to get Jodaye to help out with it.  I used the bar and as suggested, extend the width of my grip on the bar to the end.

Curse my over-analystical brain; over thinking the entire process.  So when I was doing it, it was broken down into mini-steps (just the way I pictured it in my head).  However, execution was not very smooth.   I'll have to put this on my list of things to work on.  I might have to use an aluminum pipe next time.

For all, remember to never give up.  You here to improve yourself... one WOD at a time!
