Eager to share everyones discomfort,burn off some Betty Blue Breakfast and show off a little I just did this morning's WOD (interestingly I did the first one pretending that there were no penalties for slowness later on and then tricked myself by revealing that I was lying and I actually would have to do 10 burpees if i didn't get within 10 secs of that first time - I got me good!)
1- 1:32.7 2- 1:38.4 3- 1:38.7 4- 1:39.3 5- 1:40.3
Even though as I said this morning I anticipated a linear deterioration, in retrospect mine looks pretty textbook in that the first one is done with 100% energy, 3 mins to recover 95% of the energy then 3mins to recover 95% of the 95% and so on. so after the first one a tapered deterioration makes sense.
who ever say's that heavy weights' (insert fat guy) row's faster then the skinny people is such a damn liar....
My last 2 rows @ 1:39.9 were nothing but death, especially the last one i tried to get more power into it and slow the stroke rate down, that was good for about the first 100m but then i hit the wall of, can't get enough O2 in and i wanna talk to pukie...
I briefly saw a sub 1:30/500m pace for about 6 strokes then the wall smashed me.....
I should really find all the CF journal articles and video's on rowing and take some notes to correct my form, and hit that sub 1:30/500m, since I'm not content with my 1:34.4/500m PB...
Tomorrow we are going to attack "The Bear" A barbell is taken from the ground to the rack(either full or power clean or dead lift and hang clean) then a front squat is completed before hitting the overhead position via either a thruster or push press, the bar comes down onto the shoulders for a back squat before heading back overhead. 5 attempts at 7 'laps' looking to increase the weight each attempt.

Should be fun! 2PM as usual.
well the bear sounds appropriate for the food I've shovelled down my gob today. I really need to work it off so I'll be there tomorrow.
Geez, it was a nice b'fast at Betty Blue. I'm sure that Brett beat us for time getting the plate finished :D
He is an eating machine! I'm just happy I finished, must have been the bourbon and pizza training. I've been pretty solid in that dept for awhile now
Good session today and I'm looking forward to tomorrow :D
I'll be there tomorrow Brett.
my maybe is now a won't be, i 'forgot' that the wife had told me she had a 'Diva' party to go to @ 2pm sunday...
