Notes - Writing this late Monday evening.  Been doing a ton of walking as well the last couple of days. 7.5 miles yesterday and 10 miles (!) today.  Trying to get take a couple of pounds off, and take advantage of beautiful weather over the holiday. Training today was good, the last set was difficult, my grip was failing on the snatches.  So far I would say this second block of training KBM is more difficult than the first, for sure.  I may need to drop down the swings in the warm-up etc. to conserve my grip for the main sessions.

Notes - A good result for week 6 of the program - pretty cool stuff.  Last couple of sets were super tough, but got it done, and kept within the time limits.  Now focus switches to weeks 7-12 of the program.  There will be some chains now and not just complexes.  Reps drop down in week 7 by reducing the sets, and you build back up again.  I think this is going to be ultimately even harder than the first 6 weeks.
