Vacation!

I'm finally back with another video. The last two month have been very busy, and although i have been training, I didn't have the time to blog.
My strenght has really improved over the last couple of month, especially my squat. Sticking to Jim Wendlers 5/3/1 for a long time has really paid of. I hit two reps at 180kg (396lbs) this monday.

I finally have almost 6 weeks of vacation before i leave for Afghanistan on the 8th of august. At the moment I'm spending some of it with my girlfriend in her parents summer cottage.
This morning we did some strenght training at the nearby army base and later i did the following WOD:

800m run
20 toes-through-rings + 20 KB-snatch 32kg
30m sandbag drag
6 tireflips
16 toes-through-rings + 16 KB-snatch 32kg
30m sandbag drag
6 tireflips
12 toes-through-rings + 12 KB-snatch 32kg
30m sandbag drag
6 tireflips
8 toes-through-rings + 8 KB-snatch 32kg
800m run.

This was a really hard workout. The heat didn't make it any easier. I really struggled with the tire. Had a hard time finding a grip underneath it, so the flips took me some time. My time ended up being 18:17 which i think is pretty decent. The video of the workout is below.
