Because it's our failures that are most instructive ...

(turn off the sound, the "fitness" class next door is annoying)
Most of the swings were solid ... 86-90, and 96-100 were crappy. When I loaded up for the get up, everything was still quaking. I just collapsed at the top. The get ups are not my problem, doing get ups after the swings are my problem. When doing get ups alone, I can do the 10 with the 48 in under 7min. When I tried to transition to elbow, something in my core said, "No Sir, not today", but I kept going. When I got to the top, it was over.
I haven't been training for this, or anything really, save for snatching for the TSC this week. Last month, I pulled a low-13min S&S with the 40 (sub-5min swings, 1min rest, 7+min get ups). And, the 48 has been feeling light lately, so I thought, let's do it.
I attribute my recently improved conditioning to the LSD work I have been doing with the ruck. This performance just wasn't within my reach prior to that. I suspect that 3-4 more intelligent sessions will allow me to do the get ups in time. We'll see ... I hate that clock.
