Went for a nice bike ride with Kelly at Coopers Gap in Rothrock State Forest.
Coopers Gap map and stats
I bought the Droid to make maps like this and it seems to work well.

Assessment day
Goal: 10 minutes with 2 24kg bells in the Long Cycle Clean and Jerk
Result: 7 Minutes with 40 reps.
This is the farthest I have gone with that weight. I have been battling to reach the 5 minute mark for over a year. Doing heavier one arm work has made a huge difference in my progress. I felt failure in my legs earlier than usual, but my arms held up well in comparison. I strongly believe I can reach 10 minutes by the end of November.
To finish up the workout I did 1 minute sprint by 1 minute rest sets with the 24's. I averaged 10 reps per minute.
I took a short break and decided to do some monkey training at the park. I did some lateral monkey bar work, pullups, pistols, high box hops, very simple Parkour jumping from rock to rock, and balance work. It was a freestyle session with no specific goal. Yes I know I violated numerous principles, but I enjoyed it and it fueled some creativity for the future.
The gash in my hand is still creating some limitations and made the LCCJ set a bit more difficult. I will try some snatch work later this week and see how that feels.
