Comments:
I very nearly did not finish this workout. The cleans and the thrusters were a weight that was hard when it started, and that I could just barely continue to do as the workout went on, and when I was nearly finished with the 3rd round of cleans, the bar slipped out of my right hand, and as a (stupid!) knee-jerk reaction, I tried to catch the bar instead of just getting out of its way. It hit me pretty hard in the thigh and gave me a bit of a charlie horse.

It took a few minutes to be able to squat at all let alone with weight, and even though I only had 4 thrusters left, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do them. But I'd dnf'ed so many work-outs lately, that I just decided this wasn't going to be one of them. My classmates were awesome at cheering me throgh the final few reps.

I was pretty pleased with the height I was able to get with the 1.25P KB - most reps were eye or even forehead level.
