C. 182 was 85% so I went with 185#

I did it in order first round, reverse order second round then last round I did KBS, KB Squats, WB, Burp, BJ, Bike and bike was faster than previous.  During the WB the back of my shoulders were screaming from holding the KB front rack.  Burp's and BJ's were really slow on last round.  Bike I held 61-62RPM first two rounds and last round was 65RPM.  I liked this map session
