28 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Oof, the heat and humidity today were just oppressive. Only got through two events in like three hours because I had to load and move my own stuff, which was a chore in and of itself. Yoke went well today. First set was almost a second faster than last week with 40lbs more. Stronger than last week as confidence. Slowed down a bit with the heaviest set. At least I now have numbers to look at besides weights on moving events so I can see if I'm improving where it counts. I was dreading farmer's since it meant I had to get down close to the black top to load the plates and the heat coming off the ground was like putting my face over a steaming pot. I thought I was feeling slow (I was compared to yoke) my first set but I improved on the times from last week with 15lbs more. Close with the heavy set, about .5 a second slower. I was just dead after this and luckily I had some help putting all of this crap away. Going to try and get stones in tomorrow at Jenkins.
