Today I guess was a good and bad day. Good because I do not care why my times stand in the big picture but my effort was of a super high level and I am proud of the effort I put in. Where it was a bad day, reading the tasks at hand I made several mistakes. When warming up for the first part, I started warming up for just pc/pj and ttb – and was thinking how much it was going to suck for just the two of those. Then within 5 minutes or so of go time I took one more look and saw the burpee to a target in there. Well damn, didn’t really have time to change my warm up, at that point I had already spent a 45-60 minutes prepping to get after it. The second bad was, somehow in my mind I read 10 minutes bt the two pieces and not 30. Well, on a good note, when I got done with the first one, i was done, and thought there is no way I will be ready in 10 minutes. So I said, well I will just go in 20. Still not good but I will push it the best I can. So I started, I was still not recovered but I went after it to the best I could. Moral of the story, take a look at my training day before I have a sleep deprived night into trianing.
1st piece
All ttb ub as they should be. Felt I kept moving diligently on my burpee, not fast but I don’t feel I ever went slow. pc/pj 3/6/9 ub on the way up, instead of pacing for the set of 12 I picked it up right away and did a couple of singles, a set of 3 but thought that was a bad idea but I wasn’t going to stop so I did a few more singles, and did the last 3 in a row. Roughly a similiar plan of attack for the 9’s, and the set of 6, I was about to do a couple of doubles, and then I told myself just to hang out you are right there and don’t put it down.
2nd piece
Albeit my misfortune, on the rower, I told myself I wasn’t allowed to go slower than 1:55, spent most of the time around 1:52, I think I finished the row around 5:31. The wall balls, I was smoked but I never let myself walk away from the medball, I don’t feel I let it stay on the ground a lot, did sets of 11’s (one of 12) and one of 22, more breaks than I would’ve liked, but my shoulders is where I felt the most fatigue. The deadlifts – a set of 15, 10, 10, 5, 10.
The one cool takeway from the day, is I loved having my heart rate elevated, I let it happen and never tried to slow it down or take a deep breath to stop it from happening.
