Yesterday’s workout.
I didn’t write down my time round by round. Each one was 5:30-5:40.
Rows were 1:46-1:52
I cycle through BBJO faster than burpees over barbell which I think is a mental thing with the barbell. It was nice to run outside too as the snow melts!

BMU progression work. I’m getting to close to getting my first one!

That hurt. I definitely would not have been as fast if I had run outside. I can force myself to run a lot faster on the treadmill where the belt controls the pace.

Where is everyone today? Resting? Getting ready to vote on 18.5? Smart, my friends!

Random question…

I’m planning a trip to the World Cup this summer and am looking for friends/contacts and places to stay in St. Petersburg, Moscow, London, Stockholm and Helsinki. Know anyone in these cities you can put me in contact with?

I was wondering where all the usual posters were at too! Agree with Mike, London is a great city. Unfortunately I don’t have any contacts in Europe anymore.
