Five rounds for time of:

15:31 rx  PR (Last one 20:28)

This one was super HARD!  There are few workouts I have done that I have been tempted to quit in the middle of.  This one I was tempted at the beginning of.

This weight felt very heavy.  The last 1RM hang power clean I could find was 95# on July 18, 2010.  Granted, I think I've improved a little bit since then, it gives me an idea of what my 1RM hang power clean might be now, and it's probably not that much more than 100#.  

Once I started fatiguing, I began dropping the weight after single push jerks, which was really inefficient. With some excellent coaching advice, I was able to break it down and string together more at a time before dropping the bar.  This helped immensely and I'm sure that's why I was able to PR by almost 5 minutes!
