Metcon: 10:23 Felt great during, broke up front squats 6,5,4,3,2 with minimal rest, broke up HSPU's into 6's with minimal rest, and kept a 300+ Watts on bike. However, after the workout I broke out into a 40 minute coughing period of which I started the 20 minute EMOM and quit after first round. I couldn't stop coughing up shit but two hours later felt fine. It was bad though during the coughs. People thought I was gonna die. I was laughing but couldn't stop. I decided to not do the EMOM because of that.

Mobility w/remaining tim
Felt fine to start but was nervous about the whooping cough lol, but with it at 85% it wasn't too bad. Kept a 1:58 average on both rows and 300+ first bike, just below 300 on second bike and 16,14 on all DB snatches. Just wanted to break them up since I hadn't done that many in a while. Haven't fully shaken cough but need these metcons so keep them coming. MAN! my hips and a little back are sore today on SUNDAY and I am glad to be resting. lol

No issues here with row until last 2 min. I only could sustain for 1 minute. Mental breakdown. 
AB went perfect until finishing 325 I couldn't get to 350.
Ski was great until 1:48. Couldn't maintain that after 1:54.
**We were able to do this last week EXCEPT for the last 3 minutes - I want you to change that duration to a "max" of 2 minutes and see how you do this week in comparison.  That is also why it says 17 minutes vs 18 - because it's been changed to a max of 2 minutes at the LAST pacing**

Mobility w/remaining time
Holiday Party Friday night so didn't get up to workout. Didn't get crazy at the party either just decided to sleep in and rest before I ran an impromptu weightlifting seminar at the gym from Cal Strength. Long story but we were helping a gym out who fell through. I was here all day learning. Literally happened in last 72 hours before Sat. Learned a lot though at the seminar. Snatched 75lbs during drills and did some snatch DL's on my own instead of full snatches up to 165lbs while others snatched. Also did the same with cleans. Felt good to squat for both movements but it was only 75lbs.
