  I'm fortunate because I have a workout partner for the second workouts now.  Before I was just kinda doing cardio/recovery on my own or leading people on a run... now I have a coworker who does the cardio with me but then also adds some muscular endurance stuff before and after.  I have to work on my pushups anyway, so it doesn't bother me... I just limit how much of a chest focus I have in the morning lifts.  Because I signed up for another 70.3 race in September, my lift schedule will be M-W-F, with Mondays focusing on legs and shoulders, Wednesdays focusing on hips and lower back, and Friday being whatever I feel like hitting that day.

  Also, starting to really enjoy thrusters.  I have an idea for a nasty set that I'd do Friday, but I'll be out in the field the night prior so it might have to wait until next week.

  Jumping Pistols -  tried to do the pistol, finishing with enough power to jump and land plyometrically into another pistol.  Didn't always quite work (I need to work on balance), so when I lost my balance I'd just reset and start the pistol over.
  Weighted Pistols - I alternated keeping the bar in a front and back rack position.  Front honestly felt a little more comfortable.
  Clean and Jerk set was just a finisher to see how much weight I could push at the end of a workout.

  With the track work, the intent was to rest the length of time it took to finish that interval + 1 min.  Quads felt pretty wasted but weren't required all that much to run fast on a flat surface.

  I was pretty unhappy with the snatch complexes.  I don't know what happened... maybe I just needed to warm up more... but my form was pretty ugly.  Second set I did straight through (would have been for time if I had remembered my watch).  Good smoker. 
  Pushup ladder... like a breathing ladder, but done with a buddy.  Remain in the front leaning rest position while the other person does their pushups.  You do one, he does one, you do two, he does two, etc.
