Strength/Power
Squat: 135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 325x2, 355x5
OH press: 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 165x5
Felt a bit more comfortable with 355x5 on the squat, so I'll try 360x5 next time. 165x5 on the press went pretty damn well too, so I'll go for 170 or 175 next time.

Ran on an olympic track. I accidentally started at the wrong line for the 100m runs the first two times, so I probably ran 85m instead. Did an extra one at the correct distance after to make up for it. Everything here is self timed so the timings may be inaccurate, especially for short distances.
40m: 5.1
40m: 5.3
85m: 11.9
85m: 11.6
100m: 14.4
400m: 1:20
400m: 1:25
800m: 3:40
I really need to find a way to do my running not immediately after a hard leg workout like squatting. I felt ok on the 100m runs and below, but my legs were burning horribly on the 400's. Every muscle in my legs - hamstrings and adductors especially - felt fatigued and I just could not keep a good pace going. By the time I got to the 800m run, my legs were totally fried and it was a crawl. I really wish I had enough time for a CF endurance type schedule with the metcon separated by 3+ hours from the strength portion.
