Results: C&J – 175lbs. Metcon 13:31. Handstand Pushups were really weak, could only manage sets of 3 unbroken. Also, would have been about 60 seconds faster but was attacked by a giant playful Berner Sennenhund who thought running with me would be more fun than going for a walk with his person.

Results: Total 169 reps (ended at 9 x C&J @ 135lbs). Did all power cleans and push press. Tried one Squat Clean but with all the box jumps and step ups, my legs were not much help anymore.
