Notes:  I'm a little burnt out on Olympic weightlifting drilling movements such as tall cleans and snatch balances.  I know they're important for improving technique and whatnot, but I miss moving my body through space.  I love running, jumping, and pushing/pulling/carrying things across the court/field.  I'm growing a little stale with the stationary nature of these movements.  In any event, my tall cleans felt okay, but I definitely initiated the movement on my last set with my hips.  I guess that's natural, but I need to trust that I can pull myself under the bar.  I didn't feel particularly fast on the metcon, but I actually bested my score on this workout from 27 Dec 11 when I only managed 7 full rounds.  I think that, in the right environment, I could have managed 8 full rounds on this one, but I didn't feel like taking it to the edge.  Plus, my right arm started bothering me again on the thruster portion of the movement.  I think I'll take tomorrow off from Olympic weightlifting and, instead, just focus on my swimming.  I should be fresh for heavy posterior chain work and squat assistance work on Sunday.
