Workout comments: I finished all the thruster sets without dropping the weight except for the second set. I was having some real trouble finishing the double unders, something I usually don't struggle with. I would say this was the major limiting factor in this workout. I saw a video posted on the Crossfit main site of Chris Speal finishing this workout in 3:54. Another guy had finished the workout in 7:58. I always watch these videos and think, "I could hit that time." It's just funny how you notice 3:54 going by on your watch while you're only crawling through the second set. Still, I was happy with the time. I know I can improve my dexterity while in exhaustion.

General comments: Nothing to report. I felt rested. My diet has been pretty good during the week. Weekends are a different story, but I'm making every effort to control the content and quality of food I eat. Hopefully the volume will take care of itself.
