23/2 Felt bad on the commute in today, no energy & flat. By the time I headed home I was feeling fantastic. Must have been the energy giving KB work-out. 68min

40min KB class 16kg
Good solid warm-up
1A Swings 1000 with no rest, 28:27min
Did the first 200 changing hands every 25 & the rest of the way changing hands every 20. This ended up being more of a mental than physical challenge & for the second 500 I was swing the KB higher than in the first 500. So what next, I think it's time to build the swing up with the 20kg & next time use this. My hands were fine with the 16, but I know the 20 will be a different story. I've still got to do the 500 with the 24kg sometime.

Did a session working on technique with a heavier KB. After this I've decided I need to play with the 28 or 32kg be a least once a week as I wasn't that good today & it couldn't have had anything to do with the 1800reps I did in the 2 days before.

2/2 Not much go on the bike today, so took it very easy. 70min commute
45min KB class. Easy session with the 24kg, low reps.

3/2 Easy commute again today, with plans for fun tonight. 68min

6 x 30m Sled drag 70kg walking backwards
6 x 30m Truck tyre drag
Sledge hammer Tractor tyre hits & flips 5 x 20es hits 4 x 10 flips
The oval was still a bit damp, which made the Truck tyre & sled stick & grip more while reducing grip under foot, which ='s more fun. Ann-Michel did most of the drags with the rope attached to the top of the tyre. I then showed how to get the front of the tyre not to dig into the ground by flipping it over. I did most of these Bear crawl style, just to keep moving.

31/1 Hot & humid today, so didn't push hard, just a nice cruise 68min
45min KB class, worked on technique due to temp & a newbie.

1/2 Started latter than normal today which was nice except for a couple of things. 39 degrees in the shade & 43 on the bike in the sun. Left with plenty of time so I could take it easy in the heat. This plan didn't work, as at 5:30min from home that dreaded feeling of a squishy rear tyre came about as tightly sealed air was released into the atmosphere. Then there is the question do I fix this or head home & swap bikes. I decided that I was going to have to fix it a sometime so it might as well be now. Fixed it now became a hard ride to make up time in the heat, & does the wind help me, no it shifts from a N to NW just to add to the fun. 66min commute

50min KB class. Like last Monday all rest in Push-up brace position. Ann-Michel was complaining about sore abs from last Thursday still, so this turned out to be the perfect workout for her.
