WICC debrief
Workout #1 – bb complex and wall walk – 5 + 7 – I had a couple of mini goals here. They were either two always do 2 in a row fast and quick, even if i took a little longer bt the 2’s but always do a tng on the ground. The other goal was towards the end have a really fast transition into my first wall walk. I’m not where i need to be on the wall walk but i feel a little more confident with them after this approach. I need to be better here but i do feel this is some progress so i’m proud of that.
Workout #2 – TTB/clean – 275-280-285 (840) – Was pretty confident i could open up with 275, even though we haven’t really gone that heavy in a while. TTB set was 10-8-7, done around 51 ish i think. Next round of TTB was 8-7-5-5 and was done around 54/55. But knew the last set of TTB was going to be much harder so wanted to go more aggressive with load but knew i would have as much time especially if i missed one. Did 6-6-6-3-2-2 finished around 1:15
Plan was to do #3 but didn’t know how well i could execute bmu after the fatigue from TTB so went with #5 – just felt that would be an easier one to do based on the circumstances.
Workout #5 – Dubz/Bike/Burpee – this was actually kind of fun in a long grinding kind of way. I do wished i had suffered on the bike a little more and I had a plan for the 20 burpee that worked well that i wished i had for the 15 which would have saved a few seconds. In 20 i found a rhythm of alternating step off for 5 and jump off and back for 5, i also did that for the first 10 of the set of 25 to put myself in a position to kick at the end. Also wished i would’ve sucked it up a little more on the bike.
Saturday am
Workout #3 – c&j/shuttle/bmu – 15:51 – pretty pleased with my barbell cycling here and pretty disciplined on small sets and shorter breaks on bmu, could’ve been more disciplined but it’s a start. I sucked horribly on shuttles. I will also say, i felt heavy and sluggish, and my legs felt so tired, this was more due to 3 workouts yesterday, so it was good practice to have to go when you don’t really want to go. I didn’t have the best warm up, but once again that was due to my body and mind not feeling it.
Workout #4 – 2:21 – well, i had no plan here, just hop on go hard and see where you fall off. I did it in the garage so it was colder than i would like which also made me want to get on and get it done. For the first 30-35 cals was holding 1800-1900 and the last half i was fighting for it but just couldn’t and had a drop off. It was also a mental punch to the gut that while holding that high pace that the projected finish time said 2:15 something.
Overall pretty pleased with the effort and the outcome, of course we always want more and there were some mistakes made that can be fixed by better planning, warm up or execution. But this was really good practice for not having done this much in a weekend since the quarters.
