11:34 & 255
In my mind going into this I thought 2:30/round was doable but not sustainable, so I used that as a metric of sorts. I broke up the devils press in order to go right into the lunge after the last rep. Theoretically it makes sense, however it might have created bigger breaks than I should’ve taken. But this also made the overhead position pretty challenging in the lunge. Another piece that did cost me at least 15-20 seconds is I lost the db from a good overhead position on the very last step of the lunge in the last round. I wasn’t in a safe position to fight for it so I bailed right away. From having to pull the dbs back to the last step and get them back overhead definitely cost time. All ttb unbroken as they should be. Today in this one, I was actually pretty comfortable breathing heavy, I just mentally set myself up well for that. The latter rounds of the devil press got to be pretty taxing.
Another piece I was pretty excited about was I picked up the barbell and completed my first lift within 45-55sec of finishing the 4 rounds. I opened at 225, with heavy breathing and felt strong and stable in the clean but not so fast on the overhead. Next lift at 255 felt really good, and then had about 75 seconds, went for 270, was just so out of breath by the time I went to execute the lift I just struggled to create enough tension to receive the load effectively.

My main focus was on the ski and went for it the best I could. I had a hard time generating any top end power to finish off by this point in the day. 200m Splits are as follows
42.9 – 1:47.7
42.7 – 1:46.7
43.2 – 1:48.0
43.7 – 1:49.2
42.8 – 1:47
As you can see, I never really dipped too low off my pace, but there wasn’t an ability to kick, I tried it just wasn’t there.
I got 1 rope climb in right away, I do feel on my 2nd pull I’m came close to questioning why I went after it so quickly, so I held on for a few breaths and finished. From minute 4-5 I only got 2 reps, I know the fatigue was setting in and the effort to climb was a grind. The last minute I was determined a little more and was pretty happy that I could grind out 3 in the last minute.
