7:55am - Training session - 24kg SN

2x:
24kg TGU, 1/1
24kg SLDL, 3/3
24kg H2H SW, 5/5 (10 switches)

24kg SN, 10/10, very quick rest, 10/10 10/10, rest 10/10 10/10 - 100 reps in 4:45 (snatch test passed!!), rest, 10/10

120 reps - took me about 7 minutes total since I celebrated and rested a bit after hitting 100

8:25am - Complete

Notes - Well what else is there to say other than I finally passed the snatch test in practice training - 100 reps with the 24kg in 4:45.  Crushed my previous PR of 97 reps in 5 minutes.  I am feeling great about this breakthrough, I have the SFG in Vancouver next weekend and this is really going to give me the confidence that I can push through on day 3 and pass this test.  I will say the approach above of the 10/10, very quick rest, and then two sets of 40 with a rest between them is going to be the way I try to approach things on testing day.  I am excited.  A lot of the success today was probably attributable to better sleep.  Rest and recovery is really key.
