6km (5.8km easy, .2km fast)

July 12th-
Snatch 20kg - 45 left (5 minutes rest) Snatch 20kg - 45 right.
Barbell finger rolls - 50kg 3 sets to fatigue.
This is my first week leading up to the USA Nationals. I definitely felt the increased intensity of training. Tuesday and Wednesday absolutely destroyed me. I've also tightened up my diet considerably so that might have an affect on it. My run on Friday was also fairly difficult.
Because of all that I was pleasantly surprised when my sets on Saturday went really well! My PR with 20kg is 106, so this was not a max effort set, but it was edging up towards my left hand's best result. No elbow pain, not fatigued cardio-wise. But I did start to change my technique a little bit at the end.
I usually hate the 20kg with a passion. It's a weird "tweener" weight to me - not light like the 16kg, but not heavy enough to do a lot for itself like the 24kg. It always seems to catch and pull on my calluses. Yesterday felt great though!
Total running distance and time: 13.29km. 2hr:4min:55sec.
