Camille Leblanc-Bazinet

     30 Thrusters 50/35kg
     100 M Run
     20 Thrusters
     200 M Run
     10 Thrusters
     400 M Run
     5 Thrusters

Lifting weights will make you bulky....Right.

- My time was 12:42 rx. I am happy that I decided to use 35k because I almost chickened out and did it with 30k. I am used to 30k and although it's not that heavy, it would have been really tough to complete it a decent time for 65 reps. I thought, "worse comes to worse, I'll take the weight off and use 30k if 35k becomes too heavy." The first 30 thrusters were the toughest but once I got through that, I knew that I couldn't take the weight off. I need to breathe more during reps because I kept dropping the weight after 3,4 reps which was slowing me down a lot. Other than that, I am really proud of my improvement and I can only get better from here.
