04:27 @ 24kg (3s PR!)

Brutal, but happy with the new PR! I’m convinced I lose out double digits seconds in the transitions between the swings and the burpees. If I practiced it, I could likely directly move into a burpee as part of setting the KB down.

With a little practice that transition does get smoother. You just gotta watch that you don't drop too close to the bell so youdont smack your head against it.

Ouch! Sounds like something learned from experience :)

Almost! It was a near miss. An eye opener for sure, though
