On vacation in Charlotte for the weekend for some southern hospitality and sun.. Managed to get in a little WOD at the mini fitness center where I was staying.. The posted WOD was the Russian KB Snatch test, which called for 5 minutes running clock, and 100 KB snatches to be completed, no limit on amount of arm swtiching.
I was able to use a 50 lb dumbbell, close enough to the 54 lbs of 1.5 pood for me. I set me phone to 5 minutes and got after it.. Unfortunately my phone screen shuts off after like a minute so I really had no idea how much time was left from about the 30th rep onward and I think that ruined me.. I tried to switch arms every 5 reps to keep it quick and with low rest times.. I got to 90 in the minutes, but to be perfectly honest I almost wasn't even smoked at the end of it and easily had 10 reps left in me.. Dumb mistake, live and learn.. Next time I would also favor the right arm because I have a little more control on the way down going for multiple reps. Could probably save some time doing like 7 reps right arm, then 5 reps left arm, and alternated that way.. Food for thought...
Now onto a vacation of lousy eating.. End of Paleo challenge gorging begins now.
