A) 3 sets: 5 front squats (barbell) - you choose weight 250m row @ high effort 2:00 walk rest

B) 3 sets: 10 moderate/tough Russian kettlebell swings .3 mile Assault Bike @ high effort 2:00 walk rest

70 across Misjudged how long 0.3 would take (0:43) and went out way hot on the first one (76-78 RPMs), then settled in to 66-70 RPMs for the remainder

4:55 with 53/hand Bar on 12th hole down - got very tough on the second and third rounds; slowed down to ensure every rep was still perfect
