7:30 Rxd PB (old PB 8:43)

I took the row at a comftable pace keeping the split to around 1:50/500m, which meant i finished the thousand meters in 3:45. I had a goal of 25 unbroken before i started the thrusters, once i reached 25 i still felt strong so carried on before the glute burn really set in at 35 and i put the bar down for a quick shake off and finished with 3 quick sets of 5. I reckon had i not done deadlifts the day before i could have knocked these out unbroken. The pull ups i broke 10-5 then 3's, all butterfly pull ups.

Gymnastics:

A small group of us made a short trip to Redcar Gymnastics Club to join in with their adult class. The class focused on flexibility and basic gymnastics, we were then free to have a play on the equipment. I concentrated on handstand walks and the bars working on my bar muscle ups. I managed a new PB handstand walk, making it ~10m before crashing to the floor in a heap.
