Monday Tabata

My snatch skills took a sabbatical this morning, and my knees-to-elbows were more like "knees somewhere in the vicinity of my torso, sorta, when my hands aren't slipping off the bar from the humidity."

But... I fought for the lifts, got over my not insubstantial heebies about trying to jump on the box with plates in my hands (And really, what was I so worried about? By the third round, I was ready for heavier dumbbells) and was breathless during the tabatas. I'll take it!

My first four rounds of burpees, I got seven each round – yay! – but my pace dropped off  during the last four rounds. Oh, tabata! How I lo-ha-ve-te you.
