Disappointing Kettle Bell Bomb

Monday
Two rounds of:
Right arm barbell push-press 12 reps
Left arm deadlift 12 reps
Run 800 meters
Left arm barbell push-press 12 reps
Right arm deadlift 12 reps
Run 800 meter
Go heavy, run fast. Post time to completion and loads to comments.
Time--26 something

I erased the numbers from the memory of my watch, however, I used just the bar for shoulder press and 95# for deadlifts. I attempted higher weight with shoulder press but it turned into an ugly jerk.

Yesterday's KB Bomb
"Eva" it had been awhile since this came around. When I saw it I was excited and nervous. I wanted to try 2 pood KB but I did not want to use a DB as I know my grip would be shot by the end of round 1. I used my taping method of my KB to make it a 1.5 pood and away I went. Last time I also used a 1.5 pood so I figured I would stick with that and improve on my time. Improve on my time I was doing and I felt great, however, at the end of round 3 with 2 swings to go my duct tape job fell apart and here goes lots of 1# weights flying all over the ground, I finished my 3rd round at 23:38. That is a great time and I feel I could of done all 5 rounds in under 35min. Well, Melissa saw what happened and knew I had to tape it up for a previous WOD and told me I need to just go buy a 1.5 pood KB:) I was very disappointed that I was unable to finish "Eva" and I will be purchasing a 1.5 pood this weekend. Next time I will be below 23min at the 3round mark.
