Looking forward to trying that one, it's gonna be killer.
I just got crushed by a wod, went to blow off some steam after work:
12 minute amrap -
5 power cleans @ 135
10 burpees
5 push press @ 135
10 box jump 30"
Only got 4 rounds. Shit was brutal. Didn't help that I did it after working an 11 hr shift

Oh yeah, deadlifts + running are always hard as shit. Those are pretty heavy, nice job!

Home gym progress update:
sort of the starting point:
yanked out these cabinets:
started work on the platform... this is a joke at our gym, usually called out right before you try a PR:
Platform progress + some drywall
Drywall getting mudded:
done platform
wife picked the stain, I probably would have gone lighter, but no big deal. This is the first time I have drywalled and it shows. Probably will never do it again. Rogue stuff arrives today or tomorrow, so hopefully I can get most of the rest of the stuff ready soon.
edit: I am also going to put 2 4'x8' plywood sheets behind the platform against the drywall for doing handstand pushups and to provide a little protection from dropped weights. I am also going to create a 1'x1' wall ball target up in the gable of the garage.
double edit: I am probably going to paint the edges of the platform white or orange or some hi-viz color beacause they are about 2.25 inches tall and I can see myself tripping on them everyday.

sort of, I used this plan:
http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Main/homesweathome6.html
and modified a couple dimensions based on my 4' x 6' rubber mats. For the top sheets I got a nicer sanded pine sheet. I liquid nails and screwed down the first and second layers, but only screwed the top sheet so I can take it off and replace it if I need to. I also am experimenting with not fastening down the rubber so I can take it off and hose it down. I just don't know if it will move around too much.

nice work wayne. I am starting my starting strength progression this week. really focusing on the squat and deadlift. update on the home gym, it is 90% functional, couple little details to iron out as I work out. I have 2 more rubber mats to put on either side of the platform and a dumbell rack to move up from my basement.

I had to take 9 days off because I had been feeling just generally unwell - weak, dizzy, couldn't eat, barfy feeling, etc.
Anyways, I started back yesterday, and I am pretty sure my coach is plotting to kill me via WODs 
Monday
Deadlifts
5-4-3-2-1
working to max - 2 minutes rest between sets. My max is 111, but I got up to only 105 for this. It was so taxing on my nervous system after being away for so long I felt like my whole body was buzzing.
Metcon
21-15-9
deadlifts (60kg)
400m run
Fuck. me. in. the. butthole. Seriously. I actually had to walk a bit for the last run (which I have NEVER done during a WOD).
I spit up in the work bathroom an hour later 
Today
Overhead squats @ 60% 1RM (25kg for me)
5-5-5-5-5-5
Metcon
Max reps in 3 minutes X 5 (1 minute rest between - start where you left off last work time)
3 burpees
6 air squats
9 Russian kettlebell swings
It was killer. Very deceiving WOD for sure
I forgot how many rounds I did - I didn't write it down by accident (likely 12 or so) - most ppl got near 19 or 20 I think. I was just happy to get the workout done consistently without breaks after being gone for so long

all the people who would be great triathletes were already eliminated in the Open or at Regionals due to the heavier weights this year
should be fun
