Every 8 min x 5 sets:
2k C2bike @ slightly faster than target 10k pace (something you could hold for about 20 mins- should be tough)

= numbers below. While I was doing this it felt like an appropriate pace – felt tough but sustainable. But I was recovering fairly quickly and my HR wasn’t getting very high so wondering if I could have pushed this a bit harder – definitely could have stuck closer to the 2:05 ish pace for all sets.

TTT TD
17.2

3+14 I think – completed lunge + 14 pull-ups into 4th round – need to double check that. I was in the second set of pull-ups at time lol.

Subbed kipping pull-ups for bmu

Wow. So stoked about this. The first time I did this workout was during my first open; I remember wanting to try and do it rx bc I thought I could get TTB (and knew I’d get stuck at the bmu). And then getting to the first round of TTB and trying for the rest of the time to get through them and basically in tears. I think I got 4 ( so a total score of 1 set of lunge and 4 TTB).

Today I did two full rounds of TTB and honestly that wouldn’t have happened (not like this) last year. I stuck to and kept sets off 4 throughout. First time doing sets in a wkout! Shannon helped me stay strict to my rest (about no more than 15seconds) and was super helpful. I did notice I was more aggressive on these (maybe bc TD atmosphere) than I sometimes am in training and they generally felt, not easier but I think it just helped give me some more confidence.

So happy!! Yay gymnastics/bignastics – cheers to being able to do something that at a time I didn’t think I’d ever be able to.

10 strokes arms only (legs extended, 10-15 degree layback- support from core, focus on squeezing the shoulders back)
10 strokes arms and back (hinge at hips, arms hang in tension until layback is achieved, then bend arms and squeeze back)
10 strokes 1/2 slide (half return, arms do not bend and no layback until leg drive is complete, lats should be engaged the whole time)
10 strokes full slide (same as 1/2 but with full return)

Definitely felt the row get slower over sets, think it felt more like it got slower than it actually got. Happy that the burpees stayed fairly consistent, last 5 burpees of the 15 were toughest across sets and really tried to focus on maintaining quality and keeping movement/ footwork consistent.

Loving the structure on these! Again, forces me to push paces and really try to go as fast as possible bc they’re so short.

Did all DB snatch in one set, I was tempted to break up but very glad I did them all, I need to stop underestimating myself. Felt like I was able to get quickly into a working pace (above 900/hr C2 pace). Had to break up hang squat cleans (grip, breathing, legs) as 12/8.
