A burpee is the same as a squat-thrust but in this version you do a standing squat jump after you get up from the sprawl.  I finished in 16:10.   About a minute behind the fastest person.  I don’t like burpees.

I realized I have really bad balance.  I nearly face-planted about twenty times.

I was very tired but I don’t think I’ve taken it to the edge of the cliff yet.  I need to push it a bit more.

On a side note my friend (and no-gi world champion) Alex from HBJJ recommended that I stretch after class and just do a light warmup before class rather than the prolonged stretching I’ve been doing.  I guess stretching takes away some of your explosiveness.  I started doing as he suggested and a lot of my chronic soreness has gone away.
