tttTD (row/burpees)
7:30
For starters, I had a decent warm up, and I have a question, and I already know the answer, but it always depends. AFter my warm up I thought I was ready, but then after the 25 cal row and about 5-6 burpee in, the thought crossed my mind to stop and let my heart rate come down and start over. That was the point were I felt I should’ve gotten my heart rate to in my warm up. I know when it comes to the open and qualifier, we always have to take into consideration the time and effort it takes for someone to judge us. I do think this would have helped me shave off at least 20-30 seconds of my overall time. The hardest part was without a doubt like you said in the set of 12 burpee, even though you are 40% done, that still a big chunk of reps and the jump just felt flat out hard. I did just push through the 16 without stopping though and was on pace where I wanted to be. Back on the rower, I think I was around 1400-1500 cal/hr, I did get it around 1600+ for the 15 and 1900+ for the 10. Overall, I loved the workout, loved the challenge, but short changed myself in my warm up. I need to be more disciplined with my warm ups and write them up before I go instead of just having a general idea.

For time
6-5-4-3-2-1 ring MU
50 Du’s each round
6:57
My plan going in was to break up the 6 and 5 into small quick sets and see what happens, and told myself to stick to the plan, but I got going and did each set of muscle ups unbroken. The only negative with this was, I did intentionally take about 15-20 seconds after the DU before I attacked the rings, I know that’s probably more than we would like but there was still this fear in the back of my mind to not miss/fail a rep, as much of not as much exposure and just weaker with rmu. I took my time to pick up my rope and clipped on the DU after the round of 3 as I was trying to speed up at that point. Overall I’m super happy with this, and my shoulder felt the best today than it has in a long long time.
