    1. CW: 20:00 DNF 1.5pood KB, 20# ball, 1st and 2nd round, 5 kips each, all others jumping. Ego got the better of me; Kirsten used a 1 pood KB, so naturally I had to go heavier. I'm not really ready for high reps on the big boy. Maybe short reps.

    2. 18:04. 1 pood, 14# ball, kips. I was really happy to have advanced up to the 1 pood KB. Just like my mentor! This one was a killer. Many breaks for breath. Close to the time limit, I scaled this one correctly. There is room for improvement; I'll stick with these weights for awhile.

    3. 19:35. Just by the skin of my teeth! I used the 25# kb, 10# medicine ball, and jumping pullups. I can really tell that I have not been consistent working out with my crazy fall, but happy to get back into the swing of things. This one really had me winded and I completely panicked during the first round, which aided in my breathlessness (who knows why...fear of failure?) so I need to workout my head just as much as my body. Still doing mainly paleo eating, but have incorporated small amounts of dairy here and there, and the occasional grain. I will try the whole 30 challenge again after the holidays. Don't know if strict paleo is for me...but I can appreciate the fundamentals of it!
