warm up

3x10 shoulder press @75% of max so did 60#, but then struggled on the 2nd set, so I backed down to 55#. Shoulder press is a weakness of mine.

3x10 dead lift @75% of max so I did 190#. This is a strength of mine so didn't struggle.

WOD was 5 rounds of
6 kettle bell snatch @45# (3 each arm)
10 kettle bell swings @45#
(45# is heavy btw)
Finished in 5:34

I was soaked to the bone in sweat by the end. It was a tough one!

Back from a great weekend in Chicago with Rob.  (We pulled in the driveway at 3 a.m. last night after a 3 hour delay in Chicago...)  But we had a blast!  Saw Jimmy Buffet on Saturday night, then went to a Cubs game on Sunday afternoon (met my sister and her husband there).  It was a lot of fun.  Stayed at a really nice hotel right downtown.  Ate at Rick Bayless' restaurant on Friday night (best margaritas I have ever had).  After the concert at 1:30 a.m we went to a famous Chicago diner featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.  It was good food, but the rats running back and forth on the sidewalk outside had me more than a little skeeved out.    But I really do love Chicago.  It's a neat city.
