Wind Speed S 28 G 40 mph

What a ballbusting run. I’m shocked my HR numbers aren’t MUCH higher! Still refining my breathing. I went with a four breaths in two breaths out asymmetrical pattern today. Will take some practice.

Great training session. Surprisingly, I had no soreness/stiffness from the run yesterday.

I continue to get better at making small adjustments to my torso to resist the twist and help control the drop.

Even a slight twist used to hammer me with heavy snatching, don't discount the mace brother, it's what turned the corner for me on heavy snatches.

Mace has been a tremendous learning tool, for sure. Immense carry over to snatching. Nothing else really helps drill the 'dynamic grip' required for snatching. Ya know cycling through huge grip power - relative relaxation - huge power - relative relaxation...

Yes indeed, I like to think of it as grip pulsing

Excellent running weather! 78 degrees, uv index 9, 15mph wind. Without the wind trying to blow me away I was actually able to keep a decent pace/hr combo.

That's great! It seems like Chitcago with the weather there, it changes quickly and often.. perhaps not to the same degree, West Texas has some wild swings in weather ?

It's been wild so far, but that was mostly the winter. Texas seems to have a good winter every 10 years or so. I'm interested to see how it is here in July & August. I'm loving the heat so far. One interesting thing about living here is I can never seem to drink down enough water; the humidity was only 17% today.

17% humidity is desert territory, it'll probably be very hot there in summer I would think. Have you explored lakes around there yet? Tomorrow they're cleaning up around Lake Kirby with music and food trucks, just checked the city website :)
