I had another attempt at the WKC Kettlebell Pentathlon today. My previous score was 1141, working with the 20Kg on all except the half-snatch (16kg), and missing reps on the Jerk (12) and Push Press (38). Clearly room to improve on those rep counts, but I also felt that there was room to pick up points with some heavier cleans, so I went as follows:
- 120 cleans @24kg to give 360pts
- 60 long cycle clean & press @20kg to give 150pts (total=510pts)
- 114 jerks @20kg to give 285pts (total=795pts)
- 108 half-snatches @16kg to give 216pts (total=1011pts)
At this point I was exactly 250 points short of reaching the much-coveted “extreme” points score. The 16kg kettlebell could yield only a maximum of 240pts, so, greedily perhaps, I started the push press with the 20kg kettlebell, needing 100 reps to give me the 250pts needed to get me into a new category. Unfortunately, it was not to be and I managed to reach a push press total of 83 reps and 207.5pts.
Rounding this down, gave me an overall total of 1218 points, a marked improvement on my previous best of 1141, but still with plenty to go to reach the “extreme” category at 1261pts.
