Holy Lesson Learned

A.  8 pull ups (1:00) x8
--I felt really good on these, super focused on getting my chin over the bar each and every time.  I was surprised again that I was able to have 8 good reps each time.

B.  Snatch Balance x3 x3 (3:00) 90#, 95#, 100#
--I was a little sketch last time on these different rep set scheme last time.  I failed on 95#, so this time I was bound and determined to do better.  So I started off at 90# and felt strong, a little tight in the hips but good over all.  95# felt a bit wobbly, but I was still confident so I went for 100# and that was by far my best set.  I was happy with 100#

C.  200m row (1:30) x8 ranged from 45-46.3 seconds
--I absolutely died on my last two sprints.  I did well up until that point felt good, but my last two at about 50m left I just couldn't keep it together.

I learned just how important sleeping and eating has become with the volume and commitment to training.  Overall, I felt extremely run down today.  I didn't eat bad over the weekend, my eating schedule was difficult to keep over my 4 day drill and today I was hardly able to eat any food due to work.  The past three to four weeks I have been scheduling my days, eating, sleeping, and working out and that all went to shit this weekend.  Yesterday I worked 6am to midnight and had to turn around and be back to work this morning with only an hour in between that work and my other job.  So I've learned just how important and equal balance of sleep and food are for me.
